SMF Log Record for Accounting

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

It would be great if IMS produced a record within SMF that can be shipped across to IntelliMagic Vision.  Currently we need to ship both SMF, AND our BMC 59 record from the IMS logs over to Intellimagic.  It would simplify the client's management of their data forwarding procedures by eliminating dedicated processes for IMS logs.

I acknowledge that this information should come with a caveat, because the SMF details sent to IM Vision could be rolled back at a later date/time.  This would mean that we may also require an equivalent SMF rollback record to 'unload' this information from Intellimagic.
