MXG has MANY customers that have been DIRECTLY READING z/OS SMF DATA FILES from AIX and Unix and Linux and Windows platforms for years, without any changes required by IBM or any of the other 350 vendors whose SMF data we read. No download involved, read via ftp access, write only the output data of interest.
With scores of GigaBytes of data, too. My experiments with XML suggest the data volume would be massively increased with no improvement in the end results. Barry Merrill Herbert W.
