23.5 JES2 System Data Sets - Job Log and System Messages
The job′s hardcopy log and any system messages related to the job are
managed by JES2 as the ″System Messages″ for each job. Based on installation
specifications and overridden on the job′s JCL, they can also be saved or not
based on the normal or abnormal termination of the job. These can be sent to a
SYSOUT class that is held for viewing only and archived for permanent records.
23.6 Systems Management Recording
SMF formats the information that it gathers into system-related records and
job-related records. System-related SMF records include information about the
configuration, paging activity, and workload. Job-related records include
information on the CPU time, SYSOUT activity, and data set activity of each job
step, job, APPC/MVS transaction program, and TSO/E session.
23.6.1 Printing SMF Records
IBM does not provide any utility to print SMF records, but there are plenty of ISV
products that can be used to manage and format this information.
