Do you have MXG? Or have you joined Dr. Merrill's List? www.mxg.com That would be a good place to report an issue with SMF Data Or see if Cheryl Watson has seen this issue. Lizette -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Colin Paice Sent: Monday, May

Charles, I'm very familiar with SMF records ... I have a program which formats many of them (including SMF 92's) the 14th section has a partly blank name, and other value are all hex 00's I am planning on blogging about ZFS, concepts and how to look at the performance data; and documenting it

Everyone, I want to thank all for the ideas / suggestions / references on catching up on ZOS - I am now finding out the mainframe environment is very heavy CA/Broadcom vendor product centric (Top Secret, CA7, CA1, OpsMVS, MIM, etc) and am pretty green in that world (I predominantly worked in

Good luck! I share your pain on PMRs. The same is true for Dallas "Innovation Center" customers. On your specific issues I would *guess* 1. Is it perhaps a misunderstanding on your part? Do they perhaps mean "there are 14 possible sections; look at each relevant triplet to see if section X is

zFS SMF problems

2021-05-31 Thread Colin Paice
I've been looking into the SMF records produced by zFS and have found a couple of problems. Who can I report them to? I cannot raise a PMR as I only have a zPDT license. Example problems 1. The SMF 92-59 records say there are 14 sections - but there is data for only 13 sections. The

Thanks to all. The equates from SMF30_TIME_ON_ZIIP_F to SMF30_DEPENC_TIME_SUP_ON_CP_F are failure flags. What flag byte are they associated with ? It can't be SMF30TF2 not SMF30T33 as they have their own bit definitions. Regards, Pierre.

"SUP" was the during-development term for "zIIP" (as "IFA" was the during-development term for "zAAP"). The SUP vs zIIP fields have not been "redefined". They have just had more-suitably-named alternatives provided. Use either name. No SMF 30 records are currently written with bit SMF30_zCBP

Re: SMF 30 record

2021-05-31 Thread Martin Packer
Right. Go with IIP and IFA. SUP will do fine for IIP. Ignore ZCBP. The fields haven't changed. (I haven't seen a zAAP in a long time, though.) Cheers, Martin Martin Packer WW z/OS Performance, Capacity and Architecture, IBM Technology Sales +44-7802-245-584 email: martin_pac...@uk.ibm.com
