- Download the tool, it is contained in a self extracting zip file.
- Launch the tool (scrt89ru.exe) on your PC to de-compress the file; the decompressed file will be named scrt89ru.bin.
- Upload the file (scrt89ru.bin) to your host system. Use binary transfer and move the file to an 80 byte fixed dataset.
- The job has two steps. The first step deletes the output dataset. The second step reads the data from the z/OS UNIX file system and reformats it into an SMF compatible dataset. Customize and run this job.
- Review the job messages from the SYSPRINT DD in SDSF or equivalent product.
- The reformatted records (now in VBS format) will be in the dataset pointed to by the SMFVB DD name in the job's JCL.
| Basic Step-by-Step Instructions |
|
Create a Dataset On the Host
Go to ISPF 3.2 to allocate a new 80 byte fixed dataset called HLQ.TOOL.JCL
- Record Format = FB for Fixed Block
- Record Length = 80
- Directory Blocks = 0
- Block Size = 0 (system determined block size)
Upload to the Host From Your PC
- Download the tool from this web site
- Begin FTP Session - command is "ftp"
- Change FTP mode to binary - command is "bin"
- Put the SCRT89RU.BIN file onto the host, overwriting the new MVS file called TOOL.JCL - command is "put SCRT89RU.BIN TOOL.JCL"
Back on the Host, Customize the Job
- Customize the jobcard to fit your environment
//SCRT89RU JOB (????,????),MSGCLASS=O,NOTIFY=HLQ
- Change the SMFUSSFS DD to point to your data in the z/OS UNIX file system.
//SMFUSSFS DD PATH='/u/hlq/scrt/may06.scr'
- Change the output dataset name to fit your environment on both steps. The names should match.
//DD1 DD DSN=HLQ.SCRT89RU.SMF,UNIT=SYSDA,
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,0)),DISP=(MOD,DELETE)
//SMFVB DD DISP=(,CATLG),DSN=HLQ.SCRT89RU.SMF,
// UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(2,2))
