IAMSMFVS and VSAM.

[VijayMatutiDeshekar]

Hi,

I over heard that if IAMSMFVS program processes SMF data it can flag VSAM dataset with very high activity. It can also locate the VSAM files which are using a lot of DASD space. But I could not figure out a way to execute this program. Is it restricted to be executed by programmer by chance? Can anyone help in this regard please?

If it is restricted then that would most likely be site-dependent so we would have no idea as we do not work at your site. So ask your people. If it is not restricted then your follow-up question is "how do I use it?". Again, we cannot help as any JCL would depend on your site standards.

From the name, I would expect IAMSMFVS to be a product from the independent software vendor Innovation Data Processing. As such, it will NOT be installed at every site since it costs money. IF your site has a license for the product, you have access to the manuals for the product (via internal web site, via hard copy, via the vendor web site -- you might have to ask around your coworkers or site support group to find out for sure) and can find out how to execute it there. Some site-specific information, however, such as the precise JCL to use, may have to come from your site support group so you probably should start by talking to them.

Got this after a search on internet:

abcbank_iamsmfvs_report.pdf

That's obviously a product from an independent software vendor and you might want to touch base with them (someone from your shop or interdependently) for any further questions.
