Reporting data in SMF

We can use the SMF program IFASMFDP to dump SMF records to a sequential data set so that they can be processed.

There are several ways to report on this data, for example:

• Write an application program to read and report information from the SMF data set. We can then tailor the report to fit your exact needs.

• Use Performance Reporter to process the records (see Using Performance Reporter for OS/390).
