The SMFDLS Driver

In order to access data that SMF has recorded in logstreams, IBM recommends that their IFASMFDL utility be used (the IBM logstream dump utility). CA SMF Director uses the SMFDLS driver program to interface with the IFASMFDL utility. The driver also interfaces with CA SMF Director, acting as an intermediary.

The driver provides three user exits for IFASMFDL. They are used to move records from the logstreams to CA SMF Director.
