Customizing SMF

An installation has several ways to customize SMF to meet its needs.

• SMF parameters on the SMFPRMxx parmlib member.
• Installation-written exit routines.
• Operator commands.

z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference contains information about the SMFPRMxx parameters. z/OS MVS System Commands contains information about the operator commands. z/OS MVS Installation Exits contains information about SMF installation exits. (Table 1 describes the SMF dump program exits.)
