  • 1.  SMF Python in VScode offline

    Posted Wed October 04, 2023 02:59 PM

    Hello,

    I would like to work with Python offline in VSCode to read my SMF files.

    My z/OS is V2R4.

    Can someone help me with how to install the record layouts?

    Thank you, Jr

    Hi Alberto,

    I assume you are referring to the SMF Explorer (Phyton framework to access SMF data) as part of the z/OS Data Gatherer feature ?

    The SMF Explorer is based on on the z/OS Data Gatherer Rest Services, both available for z/OS 2.5 and 3.1, but not 2.4.

    To process SMF data, the SMF Explorer uses the z/OS Data Gatherer Rest Services on the host - which also means that the SMF data needs to be on the host.

    Working with the SMF Explorer "offline", without the z/OS Data Gatherer Rest Services as backend on the host, is not supported.
