II11486: MISSING SMF TYPE 74.4 RECORDS AND MSGERB106I COMPID 566527404 RMF

APAR status

• Closed as canceled.

Error description

• This APAR is meant to help debug when customers are missing SMF
  type 74.4 records (Coupling Facility RMF records).  It also
  contains a second section of steps to verify if any RMF SMF
  record is missing (SMF type 70-79 records).
  Part 1.
  RMFGAT (Monitor III) gathers for record types 74.4 (CF), 74.2
  (XCF) and 74.3 (OMVS). If you are missing these records, the
  first thing to verify is that you have RMFGAT started.
  Part 2.
  -If you are missing any RMF type record, the first thing to
   check is if you have asked RMF to monitor for it. Check the
   MON I parmlib member to make sure CACHE is specified (and not
   NOCACHE) for example if you are trying to generate Cache
   reports. The MON I parmlib member is ERBRMF00. Also, check the
   SMF parmlib member SMFPRMxx for TYPE and NOTYPE parameters to
   see if SMF is suppressing any record types.
  -Sort records prior to running the postprocessor. We have seen
   unpredictable results with unsorted records including missing
   records messages
  -If you are running RMF 2.4, you can run a program called
   ERBSCAN against the dumped RMF records data set (you can never
   use the MANX data set with the postprocessor). This will show
   what records are contained in the data set. Use this tool to
   verify that you indeed have missing records.  Otherwise, use
   the IFASMFDP program to dump the record type and subtype you
   are interested in. This will also verify if the records are
   truly missing.
  Syncsort users should reference APAR OW31343
  Please see the RMF User's Guide and Report Analysis Manual for
  further information.
