Creating SMF Records

You can direct CA OPS/MVS whether to create SMF records. This depends on the values of SMFRECORDNUMBER and SMFRECORDING. If the value of SMFRECORDNUMBER is 0 (default), then CA OPS/MVS does not create SMF records. If the value of SMFRECORDNUMBER is a valid number, from 128 to 255, then CA OPS/MVS creates a user-type SMF record of the type indicated. For example, CA OPS/MVS creates those user-type SMF records identified by number 128 when the SMFRECORDNUMBER parameter has a value of 128.

If the value of SMFRECORDNUMBER is a valid number, then you can turn SMF recording off by setting the SMFRECORDING parameter to NO. The default value for SMFRECORDING is YES.
