So would the following work to mod my SMF files to a weekly tape? I'm not
really familiar with IFASMFDP bit I assume the INDD can be a dumped dataset
instead of a VSAM file?
//DUMPEXEC PGM=IFASMFDP
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSINDD DUMMY
//INDD1DD
I made a mistake in my SYSIN, it should read INDD(INDD1,OPTIONS(DUMP)).

George,
Personally I would stay away from MOD. I can't begin to tell you
how many hours I have spent trying to recover SMF data from MODed
tapes. If SMF is important enough to save then don't trust MOD. Its
not that the software doesn't work its the HARDWARE (tape or drive).
I would
To avoid mod could I concatenate the input DDs including the last weekly GDS
first along with the daily dump as follows crating a new weekly GDS? By the
way this would be the second step in my live SMF dump job therefore the +1
for my input daily.
//DUMPEXEC PGM=IFASMFDP
//SYSPRINT DD
George,
While this may work you do realize this would (may) mount 3 tapes. I
think that you may find that dumping SMF to a disk dataset would be
faster and less prone to hardware errors (drive or media). I would
also suggest that j910 file (that you create daily) should be under
catalog
I have decided to dump the initial live SMF to dasd rather than tape. So only
2 tape mounts would be required in this second step. We do have our job
scheduler monitoring these dump jobs so if there is a failure we are paged and
as I said before we only dump once a day, easy for the operator

Coupling Facilities should be dedicated engines.
Otherwise, there are a lot of performance issues.
So, weighting is irrelevent.

Apples and oranges. There is no reason to compare speed of IMS to DB2.
IMS is not relational database, so it works in quite

In respect to MOD, are you just referring to moding SMF data to tape? I've
successfully used mod (with ICEGENER) to tape for our LOGREC files for 17
years and have yet to have an issue with reading the tape. Actually we also
have a few other files we mod to tape which have also never failed.
Hi,
I'm just reading an assembler language book and there is one coding example
showing how to dynamically install user-written SVC. What I'm interested in
is the way it places the SVC load module into common area.
It uses LOAD macro to do it and says: unless the original task deletes it,

George:
The SMF dumping process is a little more complicated than most jobs.
IMO it needs a little more TLC than any typical job due to the
complexity of what things can happen and the frequency in which it
occurs.

there ready for the incoming job assigned by JES.
