#1. Read "MVS System Management Facilities" manual, it tells you how to run the programs that "Dump" the MAN data sets #2. Issue the MVS command, "D SMF" this will tell you which data sets are in "ACTIVE," "ALTERNATE," or "DUMP REQUIRED", the data sets in "DUMP REQUIRED" status will not be used until the data is dumped and cleared from it, this Is done using one of the programs documented in #1 above to clear out the data set and change it from "DUMP REQUIRED" to "ALTERNATE".
Al Nims Systems Admin/Programmer 3 Information Technology University of Florida (352) 273-1298 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dno Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2014 11:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: I SMF Processing Hi, We have six MAN datasets spread across three volumes; I notice that the ‘I SMF’ command switches between only the first and second MAN datasets. Is there any doc, explaining how SMF processes the MAN datasets? On our two production systems a ‘Z EOD’ command is issued when the system comes down for an IPL, when will SMF write to MAN3, 4, etc.? On our systems programming LPAR, where no ‘Z EOD’ is issued, I do see SMF writing to MAN datasets beyond MAN2, when the system is IPL’d.
