4.3.3.2.13 DAYSMFR Operational Job

The DAYSMFR job is used to allocate and rebuild the SMF
temporary work files used by the DAILY job.

The JCL for the DAYSMFR job is in prefix.MICS.CNTL(DAYSMFR).

The DAYSMFR job replicates the function of the DAILY job's
DAYSMF step when you specify DAYSMF FILES TEMPORARY in
prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF).

If you modified the DAILY job JCL to point to an alternate
input file, you will need to make the same modification to
the DAYSMFR JCL.  DO NOT SAVE THE MODIFIED DAYSMFR JCL.

If incremental update is active for one or more products in
this unit database, then DAYSMFR may fail with MICSLOG
messages stating that incremental or daily update processing
is in progress or requires restart/recovery for one or more
products.  You can override this checkpoint validity test and
force DAYSMFR to execute by specifying,

    SYSPARM=FORCE

on the DAYSMF step EXEC statement in the DAYSMFR job JCL.
SYSPARM=FORCE overrides the abort for DAYnnn step failures
when incremental update is active, and allows DAYSMFR job
processing to continue.
