There is a zap avail somewhere on IBM link that addresses this issue by changing the size/expansion limits on SMF Buffers for 1.8 and below. This is avail in 1.9 (Not as a zap) as BUFSIZMAX. Check the init/tuning guide for details.
BUFSIZEMAX has solved our issues with lost SMF data at shutdown time. HTH, <snip> ... I had wondered how LOGGER would handle offload of a huge amount of SMF data right during shutdown. Do you also see this problem if you only shut down one system? Or only when there is no system left that can do the actual offload from the CF? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
