Executing Reports

You can execute CA ACF2 for z/VM reports through the following ways:

• The full screen feature lets you specify report generator files and parameters by filling in fields on a screen. It also lets you define the files for the reports and pass report parameters to CA ACF2 for z/VM. See Using the Full Screen Feature for additional information.
• The ACFRPTS exec lets you respond to exec or report generator prompts to specify report generator files and parameters. ACFRPTS defines the SMF input files and the report output files, the report generator prompts you to enter report parameters. See Using the Full Screen Feature for additional information.
• The manual method requires you to issue CMS FILEDEF for SMF input files and any other file where you do not want to use the default, including the report output file. Use the report name as a CMS command to start the report generator. For example, to start the ACFRPTCL report, you enter the following:

  ACFRPTCL
  

  You can enter the report parameters on the command line. You can use this manual method in your own execs to customize your site SMF reporting procedures.
