Running Customized Reports

Running Customized Reports

You can create your own customized SMF reports using CA Earl™. Before you can run CA Earl™ SMF reports, you must create a flat file. A flat file is an intermediate file that all CA Earl™ requires as input.

There are three ways to create this flat file:

• Through the full-screen CA Earl™ SMF Preprocessor.
• Through the EARLRPTS EXEC.
• Through the ACFRPTPP report generator.
