SMFDLS Control Statement Reference › SID

SID

If you have SMF logstreams that are backed by a list structure in a coupling facility, this operand can be used to perform dumps of records from another system. The statement might be used if you have a system without tape drives, but you want to archive the SMF data to tape. If the logstreams are available to a system with tape drives, then the dumps can be performed on the remote system.

Statement Format:

SID

►►─ SID(smf id) ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄

Operands and Descriptions:

(smf id)

Specifies which system's records to dump. This operand can only be used if the logstreams are backed by a list structure in the coupling facility, as DASD-only logstreams are single-system in scope. The default is the SMF ID of the system where CA SMF Director is currently running.

Sample SID Statement:

To dump any data not archived for SYSB from logstream IFASMF.ACCTG:

LSNAME(IFASMF.ACCTG)
UNIT(3390)
SID(SYSB)
