Ed (et al): SMF is one of the sources for the RES Suite solution for obtaining information only IF the source module available, but the info from SMF is typically insufficient or incomplete. As an example, assume the following: PGMA - using File1, File2, File3 - calling PGMB PGMB- using File4 - calling PGMC PGMC - using File5
SMF tells you simply that PGMA uses File1, File2, File3, File4, File5 As can be seen, this is not completely accurate. What do you do if you need to change the format of file5? Which program is affected? It is not easy to determine, and, using only SMF records, the user would not have access to completely accurate and up to date information about the file in question. And concerning DB2, Ed you mention that you are not aware of any vendor tools which are able to provide information about DB2 usage and access. One of the tools within the RES Suite, DOCET/MP, can analyze source code in detal concerning not only DB2, but also provides all the detailed info about the usage of any kind of resource by any specific program. If anyone wants more information, please let me know.

If you have CA-ESP, there might be some resport process you can use for executed jobs. If you have a source change management system (Changeman or Endevor) you can probably do something with that as well.
