This utility waits for a NOTIFY file or an SMF file from the CA‑ACF2 service machine. When notified of an SMF file, ACF2PSMF links to the service machine disk and runs the eight standard CA ACF2 for z/VM reports. If you defined SWITCH=NOTIFY on your system, ACF2PSMF issues the ACFSERVE ARCHIVE command after SMF processing is complete. The ARCHIVE command tells the service machine that SMF data was processed and the disk is available for reuse.
When ACF2PSMF receives a full SMF file, it allocates T‑disk or uses the work disk to process the file. It spools the reader hold to avoid the loss of data. It runs the eight reports and purges the file from the reader queue.
A control file, ACF2PSMF RUNLOG, contains a log of each SMF file processed. You must empty this file periodically or the logging function can be commented out.
ACF2PSMF can ARCHIVE SMF data to tape. To invoke archiving, specify ARCHIVE YES as an option to this utility. The ARCHIVE option on ACF2PSMF is completely separate from the ACFSERVE ARCHIVE SMF command.
