SMFTYPE

Syntax

SMFTYPE=nnn | 6 | SP6

Description

This parameter tells CA Spool what SMF records to create and what record type should be used for CA SPOOL user SMF records. This parameter can be specified twice. Once to tell CA SPOOL to create SMF TYPE 6 records similar to what JES2 creates and the other to specify the record type for CA SPOOL to use for its user SMF records.

Valid values are:

• 6—SMF Type 6; JES2-like Output Writer records must be produced when a file has been printed on a VTAM or TCP/IP printer.

  Note: This statement controls whether these records are cut; the SMF=YES/NO statement has no effect on whether these records are cut. SMFTYPE=SP6 overrides this value if both are specified.

• SP6—SMF Type 6; CA Spool Type 6 records must be produced when a file has been printed on a VTAM or TCP/IP printer. These records are similar to the records created when SMFTYPE=6 is specified. The value of the Subsystem Generating Id, SMF6SBS, is set to 'SP'. The rest of the record uses standard IBM SMF Type 6 Output Writer sections, including the JES2 Common Extension and the Second Extension - APA Section. The APA Section contains only the Formdef and Pagedef assigned to the file. The APA Section can be used to distinguish files that could have been transformed using CA Spool's Transformer interface options from other files and to do chargeback based on the names of the Formdef and Pagedef. The JES2 Common Extension contains the PROC name, STEP name, DDNAME, PRMODE and SECLABEL file attributes.

  Note: This statement controls whether these records are cut; the SMF=YES/NO statement has no effect on whether these records are cut. SMFTYPE=SP6 overrides SMFTYPE=6 if both are specified.

• nnn—The OS SMF record number for SMF recording of CA Spool events. The lower limit is 128 and the upper limit is 255. The default value is 200.

  Note: SMF=YES or SMF=SUBTYPES must also be specified.
