Our connections also drop frequently. I just submit a few extra jobs. If
the data has already been shipped the process is smart enough to skip over
that piece.
Or you could have a final step that checks the condition code and submits
the same job again via INTRDR.

Although my previous post suggested using FTP to pull the year's-worth HOLDDATA

the only other way to do this is if you have Omegamon, use the ZRMSU major
command, extract or (cut and paste) the 4hr average to excel.
I had to do something like this from a product called Perfman to get the high
R4HA for each day and plot that for the month.

My DEFAULT DATACLAS specifies a SPACE allocation, fairly large with RLSE. This,
plus space constraint relief, and also EXT as the DEFAULT has eliminated almost
all x37 abends here.
I also still run FDR COMPAK, fairly aggressive DFHSM migration to ML2 VTL, and
a good sized overflow pool.

You want SMF70LAC. Also SMF70LACM - for Mobile.
We’ve been very successfully processing lowish volume SMF data in REXX. You can
do this since z/OS 2.1. I won’t tell you this moment the full gamut of SMF
record types we’ve processed
Not quite: SMF 70 has the headline numbers (SMF70LAC etc) but it’s SMF 89
that has the sections for products. I would not recommend the latter unless
John’s investigation takes him deeper than the LPAR level.

we use RMF PM Java Technology Edition. You can create different views, ours
have, for example, actual MSUs, 4h average, % Capping. The collected samples
(you define the interval) can be saved in a file and then imported into an
EXCEL file.
RMF PM is downloadable for free from RMF homepage
