2. At IPL, following is the normal sequence of SMF records:
1. IPL
2. I/O Configuration
3. Configuration
4. System Status
5. JES Start
6. Vary Offline
3. If the OPINM1 and OPINM2 variables are blank for the
'SWITCH SMF' event, a data lost condition occurred.
4. Multiple records may be generated for each 'SET SMF',
'IPL SMF', 'SETSMF', and 'SET SMF (RESTART)' events.
CA MICS creates an observation in the OPI file for each
subsystem contained in the System Status record that
creates these events.
5. A 'SET DATE' event is only created when a SET DATE
command is issued without the CLOCK parameter. If the
CLOCK parameter is present, or a SET RESET command is
issued, a 'SET TIME' event is created.
6. Consider using the System Incident standard report
available for this file. For more information, see
section 3.1.3.
7. For information about how this statement affects the
OPSOPI file. see the SMFOPS parameter's INCIDENTLIMIT
statement in section 7.3.1.17.
