Invoking the Activities Report Utility

To invoke the Activities Report utility in VM, enter:

EXEC ACS UTIL ACTIVities

Execution of the statement results in the following ACSCMS EXEC file:

ACSCMS EXEC

&TRACE ALL

* EXEC SLUACTV <ctlfnameSLUACTV> <ctlftypePARMS> <ctlfmode*>

To execute the ACTIvities utility:

1.Remove the comment indicator (*) on the left, and specify the name of the control file to be used to specify the actual utility parameters.

2.Enter the ‘‘FILE’’ command after the previous step is done.

3.The named file (or the default control file) will then be presented to the caller for modification.

4.Change any statements, then enter ‘‘FILE.’’

Control File Example

The following example shows a control file for producing an Activities report beginning on December 2, 1999 at noon. Since the END parameter is not specified, all activity up to the last record in the SLSSMF data set is reported. (This assumes that all SMF data is after the start time.)

Note: An Activities Report is run from a control file in the invoker’s virtual machine rather than as JCL in SCP.
