My solution for the past ten years for all SMF dataset woes is the System Logger. It has a number of benefits and no negatives that I have seen. No more IEFU29, no more SMFDUMP, no more lost records because the daily dataset filled up. One simple job every day to dump all records from the previous day, and it's a pleasure to have CICS, DB2, and especially SCRT records in separate logstreams.

It works well but there is one issue. IEFU29 cannot issue a START command during an IPL because the SMF subsystem comes up before JES2. There is code in the exit that looks to see if JES2 is active. If it is not, the exit terminates. For those of you who use IEFU29, have you found a work-around for this problem? Thank you.
