Providing Automatic Duplexing and Multiplexing of SMF Records

CA SMF Director can automatically create a duplicate copy of a history file during the dump/unload process.

In addition to duplexing, CA SMF Director can also be directed to write a portion of the SMF records being dumped to other output files. These records can then be processed immediately, without an intervening step to extract them from the history files that were just dumped.

Data management information is also provided for the additional output files, called split files, in the form of an index, called the split file index. The index itself is managed and used, but a copy of it can be produced by CA SMF Director for use by other applications, if needed.
