SMF data packets that are sent to the target subscriber are very large

When sending SMF data to the target subscriber, the data packet size is very large.

Symptom

The size of the SMF data packets that are sent to the target subscriber is very big.

Cause

The System Data Engine data collection interval is long, which, as a result, creates large data packets.

Solution

Set a shorter data collection interval for the System Data Engine by changing the value of the parameter IBM_SDE_INTERVAL in its started task. By default, the interval is 1 minute (IBM_SDE_INTERVAL = '1 MINUTES'). You can set a shorter time, for example 30 seconds:

IBM_SDE_INTERVAL = '30 SECONDS'
