SMF 21 records contain byte counts, compressed and uncompressed, read and written, with ONLY the dismount time of the tape.
But MXG users can use the MXGTMNT Tape Mount Monitor, which not only generates an SMF record for each mount of each volser, with mount start and mount satisfied time stamps, to measure waiting to mount time, and provides JOB, READTIME, JESNR, etc in an SMF record, it also captures all SYSLOG mount-related events into SMF. These three sources, MXGTMNT, SYSLOG, and TYPE21s are then merged to create a single tape event record for each mount which can be aggregated across each day to get a very accurate total GB statistics. And since JOB information is known, totals for different applications can also be measured. Barry Merrill Herbert W.
