Writing Applid Statistics to SMF

Use the following procedure to write Applid statistics to SMF. 

Warning

Note

SMF records are taken from Monitor component statistics Data Streams Optimized by LU/Applid panel (2.2.0), which is then reset. You should not be logging SMF records while printing or resetting statistics. If you are, statistics are being reset by both functions; neither the Data Streams Optimized by LU/Applid panel statistics nor the SMF records will accurately reflect the activity on your system. To write accurate SMF records, disable any Print/Reset function on the Print/Reset Statistics panel.

In addition to using the statistics panels, ULTRAOPT can generate SMF records for application statistics. You can use the ULTRAOPT SMF records to keep historical log of data stream optimization for each application (Applid). To write these SMF records, perform the following steps:

  1. Use the SMFINT and SMFREC startup parameters. For more information, see Startup-parameters.
  2. Ensure that the SMF record type is specified in the SMF parameter SYS1.PARMLIB(SMFPRMxx), as described in the IBM System Management Facilities document. Records begin to accumulate as soon as ULTRAOPT starts.

  3. To format the records that you collected, edit and run the sample job that was provided by BMC. This job is in hilevel.BBSAMP(SMF251). hilevel is the high-level qualifier that you specified when you unloaded the tape
    The formatted output provides the following information within each record:

    • SMF record type number
    • time that the information was recorded
    • SMF system ID
    • product name (ULTRAOPT/CICS or ULTRAOPT/IMS)
    • Applid name
    • ACB name
    • total number of inbound data streams for this Applid for this interval
    • number of bytes in inbound data streams before optimization
    • number of bytes in inbound data streams after optimization
    • total number of outbound data streams for this Applid for this interval
    • number of bytes in outbound data streams before optimization
    • number of bytes in outbound data streams after optimization

    Each number represents the totals for the interval only; the numbers are not cumulative.
