Text also from the old APAR If SMF is in a hang or hung situation: (added 11/14/00 LMM) - Issue the command, FORCE SMF,ARM This should trigger a dump for the SMF address space. - Use the IPCS SMFDATA command to retrieve SMF records contained in SMF's buffers. (Note, first allocate a dataset to contain these records. If necessary, refer to the SMF manual, Systems Management Facilities GC28-1783 on creating SMF datasets.) - To restart SMF, issue the SET command. For example, T SMF=BT - If there is a concern about the integrity of the SMF datasets, run the access method services VERIFY command against the dataset(s). - If one or more SMF datasets had the 'close pending' status as shown in the display command: D SMF use a different SMFPRMxx parmblib member in the SET command that does not include these datasets. (Create new SMF datasets if necessary.) Once the switch has been made, use the IFASMFDP program to dump the SMF datasets.
