To dump data into CA SMF Director from SMF logstreams, you must use the SMFDLS driver utility. In most cases, the only control statements needed by SMFDLS are the logstream name statement (LSNAME) or the JCL control statement, which indicates that the logstream name is in the JCL. In addition, either a UNIT name or SMS storage class must be provided to SMFDLS so that the data set for the control statements for IFASMFDL can be allocated dynamically to the SYSIN DD.
Additional parameters are provided to tailor dump processing to your needs. For example, since logstreams that are backed by a list structure in a coupling facility can contain data from multiple systems, a statement is provided to allow the dumping of one system's data on another system. This can come in handy when recording data from smaller systems that may not have tape drives. Rather than needing a two-step process on two systems (a dump with the IBM utility followed by a SOURCE dump), the data can be processed directly by CA SMF Director.
