Loading from the Command Line |
|
Data can be loaded into the repository from the Windows command line using the EasySMFLoad utility. You can use EasySMFLoad to create batch files to automate loading data.
Syntax
C:\>EasySMFLoad repository-location smf-data-file
repository-location is the location of the EasySMF data repository to contain the data. The location of the current repository is displayed in the title bar in the main EasySMF application.
smf-data-file is the file containing the data to be loaded. If the file name is "-" data will be read from standard input. This allows you to pipe data to EasySMFLoad from another program, without creating an intermediate file.
If the folder or file names contain spaces enclose them in quotes.
Supported File Types
EasySMFLoad can load data from the following file types:
•Raw SMF data. The records must include the RDW with the record length information e.g. transferred using the 'SITE RDW' FTP option.
•Blocked SMF data. This is the same as the previous format except that the block descriptor word (BDW) is included. Data transferred as RECFM=U for SAS is in this format.
•TSO transmit format. TSO transmit encodes the data into 80 byte records, avoiding the variable length record problems with the file transfer. The encoded records include the information required to reconstruct the original data.
Data can be compressed with Gzip and it will be detected and uncompressed automatically.
Data read from standard input must be unblocked SMF records including RDW.
Samples
Several sample batch files for use with EasySMFLoad are located in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\EasySMF\Samples. They can be accessed via the Windows Start Menu using Start -> All Programs -> EasySMF -> Samples.
loadfile.bat
loadfile.bat is a sample batch file to load SMF data into a repository from a local file.
@echo off
REM Sample batch file to load SMF data from a file into EasySMF
REM Make the following changes: REM - replace your-repository with the path to your EasySMF data repository REM - replace your-data-file with the path to your SMF data file REM - The ERRORLEVEL statement is an example of how to check whether REM loading data was successful. ERRORLEVEL 0 indicates success.
REM The path is updated to include the EasySMF program folder to make REM the EasySMFLoad command simpler.

REM Load the data...
EasySMFLoad "your-repository" "your-data-file"
REM An example of checking the ERRORLEVEL
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 echo An error occured loading SMF data |
loadfile.bat
loadftp.bat
loadftp.bat demonstrates downloading SMF data from a z/OS system using the Windows command line FTP client, then loading it into the repository. The FTP command uses the "/s" option to run the FTP script from file loadftp.txt.
@echo off
REM Sample batch file to download SMF data using Windows command line REM FTP and load it into EasySMF
REM Make the following changes:
REM - replace your-repository with the path to your EasySMF data repository
REM - localfile.smf is a sample file name. If you change it, ensure that REM the FTP script loadftp.txt is changed to match
REM - Make the following changes to the script in loadftp.txt REM - Change hostname to your hostname REM - Change userid to the userid to use for FTP REM - Change password to the appropriate password REM - Change SMF.DATASET.NAME to the desired SMF dump dataset
REM The ERRORLEVEL statement is an example of how to check whether REM loading data was successful. ERRORLEVEL 0 indicates success.
REM The path is updated to include the EasySMF program folder to make REM the EasySMFLoad command simpler.
PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\EasySMF";%PATH%
REM The file loadftp.txt contains the FTP commands
ftp -s:loadftp.txt
REM Load the downloaded file into EasySMF
EasySMFLoad "your-repository" "localfile.smf"
REM An example of checking the ERRORLEVEL
IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 echo An error occured loading SMF data
REM Delete the downloaded file

loadftp.bat
loadftp.txt
loadftp.txt contains the FTP command script used by batch file loadftp.bat.

loadftp.txt
ftpjcl.txt
ftpjcl.txt contains JCL to download SMF data to a FTP server using a z/OS batch job. This file could then be loaded using EasySMFLoad.
