Automatic Unloading of SYSx.MANx Files

This product can be customized to automatically unload (dump and clear) the SMF records from switched or full SYSx.MANx files to history files. The product determines which data set should be unloaded by inspecting the System Control Blocks as well as the actual SYSx.MANx files.

The history files can reside on DASD devices, magnetic tape volumes, or on Optical Library CDs.

CA SMF Director can honor explicit dump requests, and replace the need to use the IBM SMF dump program IFASMFDP.
