Chapter 1 Using TIBCO Object Service Broker Utilities : S6BSMFEX (SMF Extract Reports)

S6BSMFEX (SMF Extract Reports)
S6BSMFEX extracts all SMF records generated by TIBCO Object Service Broker or specific records for jobs whose names are specified in the PARM statement. Particular record types can be specifically excluded from the extract.
SMF records can be extracted from either tape or sequential disk file. Although you can run the TIBCO Object Service Broker SMF reporting programs using SMF archive tapes, it is often preferable to extract the required subset of SMF records into a sequential disk file. SMF records can then be sorted and processed more rapidly from this file than from tape.
Utilities for Extracting TIBCO Object Service Broker SMF Records
You can use one of two utilities to extract TIBCO Object Service Broker SMF records:
S6BSMFEX is recommended over IFASMFDP in most instances because of its capabilities specific to TIBCO Object Service Broker and because it always treats its sequential input file as read-only. S6BSMFEX, however, cannot extract data from VSAM SMF collection data sets. For more information about using IFASMFDP, refer to TIBCO Object Service Broker for z/OS Monitoring Performance.
Using S6BSMFEX
S6BSMFEX can be used in either of two ways:
All TIBCO Object Service Broker SMF and SMF 30-4 records for the Data Object Broker program S6BCR000 are selected (no job name specified).
In either case, unwanted SMF record types can be excluded.
Invocation
The S6BSMFEX 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
File //SMFOUT is a sequential disk or tape output file in any variable-length format (VBS, VB, or V). Provide a DCB that can refer back to the input, as shown.
Specifying Parameters
S6BSMFEX parameters are specified through the EXEC PARM= expression statement. In this sample JCL, records for jobs S6H0DOBA and S6H1DOB are to be selected but SMF type 6 and 230 records are to be excluded.
Considerations
You can specify up to ten job names and exclude any number of SMF record types, to a maximum parameter string length of 100 characters.
Generic job names can be specified, for example, S6H* would select S6H0DOBA, S6H0DOBB, and other job names beginning with S6H.
Sample Report
The following illustrates a sample report from S6BSMFEX:
