Enabling Automatic Dump Processing for Traditional MAN File Recording

CA SMF Director uses the CA Common Services for z/OS program CAIRIM to install its own copy of SMF exit IEFU29, which receives control when a SMF SYSx.MANx file is full or was switched. The IEFU29 exit is designed to issue a z/OS START command for the procedure CASFDUMP, which executes CA SMF Director to dump and clear the SMF files.

To activate this facility, the following control statement must be added to the CARIMPRM member pointed to by the CAS9 procedure that executes CAIRIM:

PRODUCT(CA-SMF AUTODUMP) VERSION(SFC6) INIT(SMFINIT) PARM(ENABLE)

A sample of this statement is provided in member CASFRIMP in the CASFPARM library.

Note: To provide a user exit to alter the START command issued to initiate the dump process, you must indicate it in the PARM operand by providing the MX subparameter. See the Systems Programmers Guide for more information on coding and activating the user exit.
