Re: Need a SMF tool
Freeware? C++ or any other language or scripting language. Use IFASMFDP to dump the type 30 records, use the manual to figure out the record layout, and a programming or scripting language to extract the pertinent data. You may then be able to use Excel or some type of data manager/graphing tool to get visual displays of how much CPU time various things took, or something with which you can perform easy sorting.

Re: Need a SMF tool
RMF Monitor 2 or 3 can show you what is asid is causing a spike in activity, but the RMF Post Processor doesn't give you any information about individual address spaces. The workload manager report could show you what workload is spiking, but not the individual address space.

If you're running the RMF, RMF II, RMF III functions, then you can use on-line ISPF-panel driven functions to review the data. Older history data can also be reviewed using the batch RMF Post Processor program.

Re: Need a SMF tool
I gather the SMF data and run a report off a PC using RMF Spreadsheet Reporter. You have to run a second report from the PC after you have gathered the data you want to report on. This second report ftp's a file back to the PC which is then pulled into a spreadsheet. It is free and it works.

Re: Need a SMF tool
If you've done some meticulous work on your WLM policy with regards to defining Report Service Classes you can indeed get the necessary, task or address space, information from the SMF type 72 record or stock CMF / RMF Workload Activity Report. RMF Monitor 2 or 3 can show you what is asid is causing a spike in activity, but the RMF Post Processor doesn't give you any information about individual address spaces. The workload manager report could show you what workload is spiking, but not the individual address space. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
