How to Copy a Dataset into Another Using IEBGENER

IBM utility IEBGENER can be used to copy the content of one dataset into another via batch. The basic JCL for this effect is as follows: //COPYFILE EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUT1 DD DSN=input_dataset,DISP=SHR //SYSUT2 DD DSN=output_dataset,DISP=(,CATLG), // VOL=SER=volser, // SPACE=(CYL,(xx,yy),RLSE) //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=* //* You […]

How to Create an SMF report using DFSORT ICETOOL

The following JCL is an example on how to use IBM DFSORT ICETOOL utility to produce a report on SMF records (record type 80 in our example): //SMFRPTR EXEC PGM=ICETOOL //RAWSMF DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS2.WEEKLY.SMF(0) // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS2.WEEKLY.SMF(-1) // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS2.WEEKLY.SMF(-2) // DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS2.WEEKLY.SMF(-3) //TEMPSMF DD DSN=&&TEMPS,SPACE=(CYL,(15,15)),UNIT=SYSDA //REPORT DD DSN=USER1.SMF.REPORT,DISP=OLD //TOOLMSG DD […]

JCL to Clear SMF Datasets

Here’s a simple example of a batch job to clear the content of your SMF datasets: //SMFDP EXEC PGM=IFASMFDP //INDD1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MAN1 //INDD2 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MAN2 //INDD3 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.MAN3 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * INDD(INDD1,OPTIONS(CLEAR)) INDD(INDD2,OPTIONS(CLEAR)) INDD(INDD3,OPTIONS(CLEAR)) Explanation: INDDx – are the DD cards that specify the SMF datasets. SYS1.MANx […]
