Postprocessor input: SMF data sets or log streams

If you specified DATASET or SMFLOG as input type in the Postprocessor setup, RMF™ displays the Postprocessor Input panel. Figure 1 shows an example of an input panel for SMF data sets. If you specified SMFLOG as input type in the Postprocessor setup, the Postprocessor Input panel prompts you for the log stream names instead of SMF data sets.

 Press ENTER to continue. To return to previous panel, press END.
 To return to the Postprocessor Setup Menu, enter CANCEL.

For both types of SMF input, you can specify whether the input data is to be sorted or not. It is mandatory to pass sorted SMF records to the Postprocessor, therefore, you can bypass sorting only if you provide sorted records as input.
