Guys,

I need to use SMF records produced by mainframe in order to do metrology reporting.

Can DataStage process SMF records?

Thanks for your help.

Welcome aboard! :D

Without knowing the structure of SMF records, the best advice I can offer is "probably", but you may need to pre-process them. The mainframe can FTP them to your DataStage server; hopefully you can obtain the metadata from a copybook or DCLGen.

The ComplexFlatFile stage is probably your best chance, though it does have some limitations (for example at most one OCCURS).

Bonne chance!
