Configuring and Using SMF Logstreams with zEDC Compression

Project and Program: MVS, MVS Performance

Tags: Proceedings, SHARE in Orlando 2015, 2015

In this session, the speaker positions the use of System Logger log streams as a repository for System Management Facilities (SMF) data against the original use of VSAM data sets for SMF data. By looking at how you use SMF data today, the session helps you identify the most appropriate repository for your SMF data. There have been significant enhancements to SMF since the log stream support was initially delivered in z/OS 1.9, and these will be covered as well. Finally, the session will examine the value of the new zEDC compression support for SMF logstreams, and how this function is implemented.-Glenn Anderson-IBM Corporation
