Which three actions are required to create and populate the RMF FICON Director Activity Report so frame pacing delay can be monitored? (Choose three.)

Good one to nail down before test day. The answer is B, D, E. To get the RMF FICON Director Activity Report populated with frame pacing delay data, you need three things working together. First, FMS (Fabric Measurement Suite) must be enabled on the FICON switching device itself, because that is what actually collects the performance counters at the fabric level, including frame pacing delays. Second, IECIOSxx in SYS1.PARMLIB needs STATS=YES so that the I/O subsystem passes the relevant statistics up to RMF. Third, you have to specify FCD in your ERBRMFxx parmlib member to tell RMF to actually gather and report FICON Director data, because without that specification the report simply does not get generated. A is a distractor because GDPS is a disaster recovery product and has nothing to do with generating this specific report. C is also a red herring since 2-byte link addressing is an older I/O configuration concern and is not a prerequisite for the FICON Director Activity Report. Anyone in the group have a study resource that goes deeper on ERBRMFxx options? I feel like there are a few related report types that could show up as distractors on the real exam and it would help to see them side by side.

B, D, and E are right: FMS on the switch, STATS=YES in IECIOSxx, and FCD in ERBRMFxx are the three pieces you need to feed that report.

Saw this verbatim on my 2022 attempt, FMS plus STATS=YES plus FCD, passed clean.
