Step 5: Modifying the FTP Server JCL and initialization parameters

To enable the z/OS FTP server SMF user exit, the SMF STD and SMFEXIT statements must be included in the FTP.DATA dataset.

Before you begin

Specifying SMF STD causes the FTP server to attempt to write SMF records for the following events:

APPEND
DELETE
LOGIN FAILURES
RENAME
RETRIEVE
STORE
STORE UNIQUE

Specifying the SMFEXIT statement causes the FTP server to call FTPSMFEX (generated in Step 4) at each point at which an SMF record is to be written.

The generated FTPSMFEX must be placed in an installation-defined link library, or $SCC.LINKLIB must be added to the STEPLIB DD in the FTPD cataloged procedure.

Note: If $SCC.LINKLIB is added to the STEPLIB DD, then $SCC.LINKLIB must be an APF-authorized dataset.

After these changes have been made, stop and restart the FTP server to make the new initialization parameters active.
