Setting up and managing SMF recording to logstreams

If you choose to record your SMF records in log streams, you must define log streams, coupling facility structure space (for coupling facility log streams) and DASD space for offloading the log stream data. You will also need to define authorization for your log streams. The following topics guide you through the set-up process:

• Requirements for using SMF logging
• Planning your SMF logging configuration
• Define authorization to SMF logging resources
• Define SMF logging resources in the LOGR and CFRM policy couple data sets
• Managing log streams and SMF log stream data
• Sharing an SMFPRMxx parmlib member in an SMF logging environment
• Using SMF log streams
• Dumping SMF data from log streams
