Creating a custom report utility

In addition to the View Event History option on the Tivoli Advanced Allocation Management Primary Option Menu and the batch reporting utility, Advanced Allocation Management provides record maps so that you can write a custom reporting utility in the language of your choosing.

About this task

The following record maps are provided:

A DSECT to be used by assembly language programs to directly map the SMF records.
A record description of the raw records that are generated when DETAIL=(A or B) and FORMAT=L are specified.

Although the latter record description is also in DSECT format, it can be tailored to any programming or report language syntax. Both record maps are generated during installation process and are located in the GLOSSMFR member of the Advanced Allocation Management sample library.

Note: The SMF record is composed of triplets that define multiple record sections. For more information about the use of triplets in SMF record processing, see z/OS® MVS™ System Management Facilities (SMF).
