Hi
I want to automate the copying of the RACF SMF records over to z/OS each night. I have the basics down on how to do this but the one thing that I am not sure about is how to determine the SMF data file that is not in use so that I can FTP that file to z/OS. My thoughts were to create a Virtual Machine that links to the appropriate disks so that I can access the RACFVM machine to get the SMF DATA file. Since I do not want to FTP the "in use" SMF DATA file some where in here I need to figure out how to determine which file is not in use. I thought I would XAUTOLOG the Virtual Machine at a designated time each night that would execute an EXEC that would FTP the SMF DATA FILE to z/OS. As part of the Exec I would probably need to run the RACFADU Unload utility and then run the SMFCONV utility on the output from the unload utility. I will probably write PIPES to handle this. The SMFCONV process will convert the SMF Unloaded file so that it can be read by the RACF Report Writer on the z/OS side. So, given what I am proposing to do to handle this is there something I am missing or are there any recommendations that would make it similar? Thanks for the help!!
