SMF from critical application

2012-04-11 Thread Donald Likens
We are thinking about writing a SMF exit (IEFU8x) to not write certain DB2 IFCIDS of the SMF 102 record. Can anyone direct me to some documentation that would help me to understand how much processing time would be saved by doing this?

Donald I agree with Martin. It could be better not producing them. A good source of information about IFCIDs, also specifying which trace produces each of them, is the DSNWMSGS member provided in the ADSNIVPD DB2 library. Best regards Fabio At 12:37 11/04/2012, you wrote: We are thinking

I agree w/Martin. At the time of IEFU83, all of the processing has been done, and you are merely trying to suppress the writing of the record. The writing of the SMF record is an asynchronous process, handled by the traditional SMF writer, or the System Logger and does not affect application
