SMF

Solutions in SolveWare subject SMF are designed to automate management of the System Management Facilities (SMF). SMF is a standard MVS feature that collects and records system and job related information. This information is kept in SMF datasets to be used later as input for user-written report programs.

Note: All messages (DO SHOUT actions) in SMF rules are sent to an INCONTROL user named U-SYSADMIN. A user with this name must be defined in the IOA Dynamic Destination table (CTMDEST). For more information, see the Dynamic Destination Table chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

In many cases, rule definitions make use of the inverse IN condition feature. This feature activates rules only if the specified IN conditions are not set. For more information about using inverse IN conditions, see Inverse IN Conditions.
