Section 1, Task 2: Start Your Data Collection software
Action 1: Start the logging and collector software, if it is not already running.
  1. Check that SMF is running and is collecting data.

  2. Check that your logging software is running and writing logs.

    If your logging software is RMF, DB2, Omegamon for DB2, or CICS (for DB2 Usage), check that SMF is recording the appropriate record types.

    If your logging software is not SMF-based, check that the logs are on the same host (or accessible from the same host) as the SMF data.

    If your logging software is The Monitor for DB2 (TMON for DB2), The Monitor for CICS (TMON for CICS), or the IMS Measurement Facility (IMF), check that the logs are on the same host as SMF.

    Note: If your logging software is DCOLLECT, the activity of SMF is not relevant.
