Overview

SA z/OS collects and records job-related information, and writes System Management Facility (SMF) records at specific events in the lifetime of a resource.

This resource can be:

• A subsystem (APL)
• An application group (APG) that is hosted by the local system as well as sysplex application groups
• A monitor resource (MTR)

The INGPUSMF batch utility produces a report file that you can import into a spreadsheet. You can also convert and write the report into DB2® tables that are provided and exploited by the IBM® Tivoli® System Automation Application Manager. For more details, see Writing the SMF Report to DB2.

You can control whether a record is written for a resource by entering the value SMF in the Inform List field in the resource's information policy item.
