Enter S next to all the SMF files you want to include in your reports, then press Enter or Return to link and access the selected SMF minidisks. See Selecting SMF Input Files in “The Reports” chapter for information about the material displayed on this screen.

Once you have selected your SMF files, you must convert the standard CA ACF2 for z/VM SMF files into a sequential format suitable for CA Earl™. Press PF3 to select the CA ACF2 for z/VM SMF Preprocessor (ACFRPTPP) Input Selection screen. See Running the Preprocessor for CA Earl™ for information about this screen.

To execute the preprocessor, press Enter. You see an output display similar to the one shown below:

 ACF2 UTILITY LIBRARY - ACFRPTPP - SMF RECORD PREPROCESSOR - PAGE 2
 DATE 09/09/98 (98.253) TIME 11.39
 
                 *-- SMF RECORDS INPUT SUMMARY - BY DDNAME --*
 
          [---------- STARTING ----------] [----------- ENDING -----------]

             DATE    TIME    DATE    TIME      DATE    TIME    DATE TIME       COUNT

Now that you have the sequential file that CA Earl™ needs, press Enter or Return to see a prompt on your screen asking for the name of the CA Earl™ report procedure to run. A sample of this prompt is shown below. In the example, a response of RPTPW was entered.

Enter EARL Report Name to be Processed:
