Good. Hourly, Daily, monthly, etc? Do you splice your records? Say, RMF to dataset1, RACF to dataset2, Catalog to dataset3 and so on? Or do you grab all and everything and place them on daily dsn and MOD them later to monthly dsn? >Is there any tools or interface which could analyse or monitor SYS1.MANX >directly without dump SYS1.MANX? Yes, lots [freebies or commercial] of them including IBM's zSecure [1]. Or you can roll your own SMFU83/84/85 exits and enable them in SMFPRMxx. >As you know,IBM zSecure ALTER tool could analyze SMF records in real time. Interactively or in Batch, but then only for records [RACF, Jobs (SMF Type 30 for example), RMF [interval records for example), OMVS, TCP/IP, DB2, CICS and perhaps others too] needed for zSecure. >We wonder if there is any interface which could help us to develop programs to >analyze SMF records in real time. What are you trying to solve? Perhaps there are better solutions. But yes, the interface is already in place (SMF exits). [1] - zSecure only reads, but does not make any copies of those raw SMF records AFAIK.
