When VERIFY is specified on the DUMPOPTIONS control statement, the Write Validity Check feature (DCB=OPTCD=W) of the storage device is used, if it is available. CA SMF Director checks the SMF Header section of each record for validity, regardless of the VERIFY/NOVERIFY setting. The SMF Header section is checked according to the definition in the IBM z/OS Systems Management facilities Manual. If an error is detected, this product will display the record and attempt to continue processing. Other applications and/or software products running under z/OS may write SMF records having a header section that does not adhere to the published standard. These SMF records may be rejected, or cause unpredictable results within the SMFD program.
