Chapter 2 Customizing the Installation : Customizing the Message Prefix and SMF Subsystem Identifier

Customizing the Message Prefix and SMF Subsystem Identifier
You can update and execute the SMP USERMODE member in the JCL data set if you wish to customize the three character message prefix or the four character SMF subsystem identifier.
Changing the Default Message Prefix
Messages in this release of TIBCO Object Service Broker begin with the prefix S6B (as in the message S6BKS010I- DATA OBJECT BROKER VERSION …). Customers with extensive investment in automated operations may wish to change S6B to another prefix value, such as HRN, for compatibility with older releases of TIBCO Object Service Broker and ObjectStar. You can use any three-character prefix by updating USERMODE in your JCL data set and then applying SMP USERMODE. For example, to change the prefix from the default of S6B to HRN, set the PROD macro parameter ID= in USERMODE, as follows:
From: PROD ID=S6B,SMFID=S6B
To: PROD ID=HRN,SMFID=S6B
Applying USERMODE will then change the message prefix for all messages as specified.
 
Installations may have other procedures dependent on the value of the message prefix. Consult with your z/OS systems programmer or automated operations department before changing the message prefix.
Changing the SMF Subsystem Identifier
TIBCO Object Service Broker SMF records are identified by a unique four character SMF subsystem identifier. By default, this identifier is S6B but previous releases of the product used HRN. By customizing the SMP USERMODE member in the JCL data set, any four character value can used. This will cause all TIBCO Object Service Broker SMF records to have this value in the SMF SSI field. Refer to TIBCO Object Service Broker for z/OS Monitoring Performance for the layout and interpretation of SMF records. The SMF Subsystem Id field is at offset 18 (x'12') from the length field of the VBS record and is generally called XXXXSSI, where XXXX is a name dependent on the record subtype.
For example, to change the default SMF subsystem identifier from S6B to a four- character value of OSB, change the PROD macro parameter SMFID= in USERMODE as follows:
From: PROD ID=S6B,SMFID=S6B
To: PROD ID=S6B,SMFID=OSB
Applying USERMODE will then change the SMF subsystem identifier for all TIBCO Object Service Broker generated SMF data as specified. TIBCO Object Service Broker SMF utilities will automatically recognize SMF data using this new value.
 
Installations may have other procedures dependent on the value of the SMF subsystem identifier. Consult with your z/OS performance and accounting departments before changing this value.
