SMF type 122, subtype 1
SMF record type 122, subtype 1 is created by Developer for z/OS® host components each time a client requests an activation token. If provided, the activation token, which is valid for 30 days, allows the client to unlock all features without additional, client-based, license management.
Provisioning of the activation token requires that the host code can register as a product that supports activation tokens, and that SMF record type 122, subtype 1 can be created. For more information, refer to Product enablement in IFAPRDxx and SMF record collection in SMFPRMxx.
A client requests an activation token upon connecting to the host, and only when it does not have a valid token, or the current token is about to expire. This results in infrequent creation of SMF type 122, subtype 1 records.
Sample JCL FELSMF can be used to collect and interpret SMF type 122, subtype 1 records. FELSMF is located in FEL.SFELSAMP, if you installed Developer for z/OS in the default location.
