What I need is a programmatic method for SMF record retrieval that is not brand new (as with real time SMF streaming). IXGBRWSE is a documented interface. Is there an explanation for the log block format? Is the data compressed somehow?
I could dynamically allocate and use IFASEXIT I imagine but the sysplex logger services are there and defined for use. I need to understand the log block format to break it out into SMF record data.
