Set SMF Parameters

ACF2 generates audit information regarding ACF2 commands in SMF record type 230. These records are passed to the SMF record exit (IEFU83), which transfers information regarding the commands to the Online Interceptor.

To ensure that these records are collected for future processing and are passed to SMF exit IEFU83, SMF parameters must be set to collect generated records.

  1. Check ACF2 settings.

    Use command ACF (sub-command SHOW SYSTEM) to find out which SMF records ACF2 uses to log events.

  2. Edit the SMFPRMnn member.

    Edit the SMFPRMnn member in your SYS1.PARMLIB library. This member specifies which SMF records are collected by SMF.

    nn is the number specified in member IEASYS in SYS1.PARMLIB, or 00, if it was not specified.

    Make sure parameter TYPE specifies that record type used by ACF2 (default 230) is collected for all subsystems.

    For more information on SMFPRMnn parameters, refer to the MVS/ESA Initialization and Tuning Guide.

    Save the member (if it was modified).

  3. Activate SMF parameters.

    If you modified member SMFPRMnn, refresh SMF definitions by issuing the following operator command:

    SET SMF=nn

    where nn is the suffix of the SMFPRMnn member that was updated.
