Providing SMF Record Verification

CA SMF Director checks the standard SMF record header information for validity, according to the definition contained in the IBM System Management Facilities Manual. Any records not meeting the proper requirements are printed for further investigation.

As part of its verification, this product checks to make sure all records in a particular MAN file contain the same SMF ID. If the dump process encounters SMF records containing more than one SID, it issues this error message: CAF1232E SMF DATA FROM MULTIPLE SYSTEMS WAS DETECTED. It then aborts the dump.
