External storage utilization

The disk storage space requirements for SM2 output files can be restricted by:

• appropriate organizational measures (e.g. transfer of old SM2 output files to tape and creation of a new SM2 output file for each monitoring task)

• modifying SM2 parameters (e.g. specification of the monitoring cycle with the OFFLINE-PERIOD operand)

• specifying the monitoring programs to be activated

• compressing the output files with the SM2U1 statement SET-COMPRESSION
