How XDS works

Like the CMF Extractor, XDS collects and stores SMF records. Unlike the Extractor, these records are stored in a data space buffer, which is accessible to CALLs from other systems in the sysplex.

While the CMF Extractor writes only type 70-78 and type 240 records to SMF or CMF data sets, XDS can buffer and return record images for all SMF record types or for any subset that you specify.

Application programs that are written to use the RMF APIs (ERBDSQRY, ERBDSREC, ERB2XDGS) can also use the CMF APIs without modification.
