you can often identify the creator and find the SYSPROG who chose
that SMF
record type to confirm!
Dr Merrill:
Yes this is pretty simple, in the old days. The turnover rate of
sysprogs is fairly high and face it not all of us document things
like this well.
I vaguely remember (years and years ago) that a vendor and Syncsort
had the same record types and it took quite a while to figure out
which record belonged to which vendor.
During the 3-4 months it was a PITA and arguing among the sysprogs.
At the time we were a large(?) shop (15 sysprogs) and not all of us
saw eye to eye on things.
I think maybe SHARE should ask the vendors to standardize something
like vendor and version of the product (along with the standard IBM
fields) at the beginning.
