I think you can specify the volsers you just want to read -- VOL=SER=(UC4622,UI0455).
This may cause an error but you will have the data needed .

Fairly stable (can you say no real enhancement potential). You could look at using LOGSTREAM for SMF Data (which I am told is nicer) - Logstream provides a possibility of better search criteria. >From my experience, when you have HUGE SMF files (offloaded) it is difficult to manage with better tools like ASPG SMFUTIL or CA SMF Director. Just using SMF IFASMFDP, makes the process more prone to difficulties. Just my humble opinion - and I have just converted to a new series of SMF jobs to do the collection, interim dumps to Daily files and Daily Mod'd onto Monthly. We do not have WEEKLY. When the process runs, it is great. When it fails, I have to spend many, many days recovering the SMF data. Sometimes you need to review the SMF Collection process and see what makes sense. Do you need to keep all Records (and z/OS V2.3 adds more new SMF record Types) or just specific ones. I can only see SMF Data getting bigger and bigger as the years to come. What is needed for AUDIT functions and what is needed for Capacity Planning/Performance Tuning.
