Automatic SMS/Debug (SMSDAUTO) - syncsort_allocation_control_center - Latest

When SMS/Debug was first released, the SMS/Debug volume trace was typically run after an allocation problem occurred. Hopefully, the conditions that caused the problem the first time could be reproduced.

In the current release, the SMSDAUTO facility can be activated to allow installations to internally buffer SMS/Debug volume trace messages and only display the trace messages in the case of an allocation failure.

To activate the SMSDAUTO facility:

1. Change the following DEFENV statement in the SMSDEBUG rules language from MODE(INACTIVE) to MODE(ACTIVE). The rules are typically found in the SMSDEBUG member in the DTS rules library: DTS.R71.RULESLIB.

   DEFENV SMSDAUTO MODE(ACTIVE)        

2. Use the following console command to start SMSDAUTO:

   F DIF,START SMSDAUTO        

   Tip: You can modify the START00 member in the DIF parameter library to automatically activate products during DIF initialization.
