Altering the Values of the SMF Master Process Attributes
The “ALTER MON Command” (page 232) changes attributes of the SMF master process in the
system configuration database.
Considerations for ALTER MON
CAUTION: Using wild-card characters can affect the MON objects of other subsystems (QIO,
for example).
• The process must be in the STOPPED state or not running before you can change its
configuration.
• Changes take effect when you restart the process.
• Example
1. Stop the SMF master process:
-> STOP $ZSMS
2. Change one or more “ALTER MON Attributes” (page 233). For example, to change the mode
to generate all the EMS messages:
-> ALTER $ZSMS, MODE NOISY
3. Verify the change has been made:
-> INFO $ZSMS, DETAIL
STORAGE - Detailed Info MON \COMM.$ZSMS
*BackupCPU............................. 4
CatalogLocation....................... $VIRCFG.ZSMSCAT0
*HighPin............................... OFF
*Mode.................................. NOISY
*PrimaryCPU............................ 5
*Program............................... $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.OMP
4. Restart the SMF master process:
-> START $ZSMS
Deleting the SMF Master Process
The “DELETE MON Command” (page 249) removes the SMF master process from the system
configuration database.
Considerations for DELETE MON
CAUTION: Using wild-card characters can affect the MON objects of other subsystems (QIO,
for example).
• The DELETE MON command stops the MON process, deletes the reserved name from the
destination control table, and removes configuration information from the system configuration
database.
• If you delete the MON process, the catalog files remain on the disk. Remove these catalog
files by using the SMFIXUP utility.
