Hello,
Most of Z/os customer running in sysplex configuration use Logstream to stage SMF record for the following reason :
All the SMF record from all the DB2s (and other products) are consolidated in the same place
We can windows the research in SMF record using FROM and TO parameters
Its faster than waiting that SMF record are archived on tape or disk to be able to access, we can red them as soon as produced
All record are online several days or weeks depending on archiving rules
Do to that it will be a very good thing if the DB2 utility DSN1SMFP can access directly the DB2 SMF records in logstream because we can access them easily, as soon as produced by DB2 (not wait SMF switch) and from all DB2 in the same sysplex at the same time
Regards
