CICS PA will automatically generate the JCL that includes the cyclic SMF files that cover the specified reporting interval.

//* SMF Files for Image=MVS1
//SMFIN001 DD DSN=MVS1.SMF.WEEKLY(-1)
CICS PA always chooses the smallest cyclic SMF file that covers the entire reporting period. This explains why, in the previous example, the weekly SMF GDG was chosen ahead of the monthly GDG.
CICS PA also knows the number of generations (GDG LIMIT) for each cycle. Therefore if only four generations of the weekly file are available, a reporting request for 5 weeks ago would be satisfied by the monthly GDG cycle, MVS1.SMF.MONTHLY(-1).
