Chapter 1 Using TIBCO Object Service Broker Utilities : S6BSMFCH (SMF Check Report)

S6BSMFCH (SMF Check Report)
S6BSMFCH reports on the Date/Time/System ID ranges present in an SMF file, providing record counts. Using these reported counts, you can determine out-of-sequence, duplicate, and missing time ranges.
Use S6BSMFCH to check an SMF file. This file is normally in ascending date/time sequence. S6BSMFCH scans an SMF file and produces a report of record counts by date, time, and system ID.
S6BSMFCH produces a report line, with starting record and count, when any of the following occurs:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The time increase between records is more than GAP LIMIT (from PARM=number-of-minutes or default value 60 minutes)
5.
Invocation
The S6BSMFCH member of the JCL data set distributed with TIBCO Object Service Broker contains sample JCL required to run this utility.
This sample is provided as a reference only; modify the JCL for your needs.
Notes on Sample JCL
The PARM=value shown is the default of 60 minutes. Changing this value controls the number of “gaps” detected (number of report lines).
Sample Report
The following illustrates a sample report produced using S6BSMFCH:

From this report, you can see that:
1.
2.
3.
An open bracket to the left of SYSID indicates an SMF type 2 Dump Header record precedes the range. A closed bracket after REC.COUNT indicates an SMF type 3 Dump Trailer follows the range. The 1ST.RECORD is the relative record not counting the preceding SMF 2. Neither SMF type 2 nor type 3 records are included in REC.COUNT (except in the final total).
