This screen defines data for the CA Earl™ preprocessor. This preprocessor expands raw SMF records into a sequential file format used in CA Earl™ processing. You must preprocess all SMF records before you can use them as input for an CA Earl™ report.

Enter Report Parameters

Logonid mask

Enter a mask for the logonids to use for this report. The default is eight asterisks (********), all logonids.

Not mask

Specify a mask for the logonids to exclude from this processing.

Output file

Specify the name of the file where you want the output placed.

File Name

The filename of the output file. ACFFLT is the default.

Type

The filetype of the output file OUTPUT is the default.

Mode

The filemode of the output file. A is the default.

Output File

The CA Earl™ SMF Preprocessor constructs a sequential file that contains restructured SMF information ready to use to run the various CA ACF2 for z/VM reports.

File Name

Specify the filename of the output file. ACFFLT is the default.

Type

Specify the filetype of the output file. OUTPUT is the default.

Mode

Specify the filemode of the output file. A is the default.

Common Parameters

User title

Specify a character string that is added to the other title information at the top of the report. This character string can be up to 35 characters long. If you do not specify this parameter, the report generator uses the first 35 characters in the command parameters.

System ID

Specify the CA ACF2 for z/VM system ID or a mask for the systems that were active when the SMF records were generated. The default is all systems.

Output device

Specify the type of output device for this report, TERMINAL, PRINTER, or DISK. TERMINAL is the default.

Line count

Specify the number of lines per page. The default is 60.

New date

Specify the start date of the report data, in Julian or Gregorian days.Values of 70 through 99 as the year portion of the Julian or Gregorian format represent 1970 through 1999, values 00 through 69represent 2000 through 2069. The default is January 1, 1978.

End date

Specify the end date of the report data, in Julian or Gregorian days.Values of 70 through 99 as the year portion of the Julian or Gregorian format represent 1970 through 1999, values 00 through 69represent 2000 through 2069. The default is December 31, 2069.

SELECT(nnn,...,nnn)

Specify the SMF record number associated with the combined record type. Separate multiple record numbers with commas. By default, the combined record number is 230 (as specified in the ACF2 field of the ACFFDR @SMF macro).

Job masks

Specify the job name to limit records appearing on this report to those pertaining to the job or jobs indicated by the job name or job name mask. Use commas or blanks to separate multiple job names. The default is all jobs.
