Specifying SMF options

If PROMPT (LIST or ALL) is specified in the SMFPRMxx parmlib member, you can change the SMF options, and you receive this message:

IEE354I SMF PARAMETERS

The system lists the SMF parameters specified at system installation time and issues the following message:

* id IEE357A REPLY WITH SMF VALUES OR U

 
R id,{U      }
     {options}

Respond to message IEE357A by specifying that you do not want to change the SMF values (U) or by specifying the options separated by commas as provided by your system programmer. A description of these parameters can be found in z/OS MVS System Management Facilities (SMF).

If PROMPT (IPLR or ALL) is specified, the system issues message IEE956A when an IPL occurs. This message prompts you to reply with the time the failure occurred, the name of the operator, and the reason for the IPL.

Once specification of system options is complete, JES2 or JES3 is automatically invoked if your installation has provided for that capability.
