I wrote a piece of software that processed *certain SMF 119 subtypes*. They were all "event" type records such as a TN3270 connection, a TN3270 disconnection, and so forth. For those purposes I was if I recall correctly able to utterly ignore this flag. Your mileage may vary.
An event record is cut when the event occur. I am not familiar with shutdown subtypes. I don't mean they do not exist; just that I have not worked with them. "My" product was a realtime product; if you are interested in batch SMF reporting you might be much more interested in shutdown subtypes. I am familiar with SMF 30 interval records but not SMF 119 interval records. Again, not saying they do not exist, just that they were not of interest to me. I think a moral of the story is not to start from the contents of the flag byte but to start from "what subtypes -- what kinds of things -- am I interested in, does my code need to process?"

The common identification section has a flag byte called SMF119TI_Reason with the following values: X'C0' - Interval record, more records to follow X'80' - Interval record, last record in set X'60' - End of statistics record, more records to follow X'40' - End of statistics record, last record in set x'50' - Shutdown starts record, more record to follow x'10' - Shutdown starts record, last record in set X'48' - Events record, more records to follow x'08' - Events record, last record in set Is there a more detailed explanation of these values ? Can interval records be ignored if one takes the end of statistics records ? I guess shutdown starts records are cut when TCP/IP starts to shutdown ? When is an event record cut ? Can SMF119TI_RecordId be used to tie together different records of the same sub-type? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
