SMF accounting and performance data can optionally be collected from both Execution and Data Object Broker Environments. Collected data will be written out to the z/OS system SMF data sets for subsequent processing and analysis. Collection of SMF data is controlled by parameter values in both environments. Each environment is treated independently, although where applicable, units of related work processed in an EE or DOB can be correlated using common unit of work identifiers. See
TIBCO Object Service Broker Monitoring Performance for more information on processing and analyzing SMF data and
TIBCO Object Service Broker Parameters for information on the specific values and function of SMF-related parameters.
JCL(USERMODE) can be used to set the SMF Subsystem ID that is recorded on all SMF Object Service Broker records. This identifier is useful wen extracting out SMF data for TIBCO Object Service Broker. The default is S6B but USERMODE allows you to use another value (such as HRN) for compatibility with older TIBCO Object Service Broker releases and site specific reporting procedures. For details, see
Customizing the Message Prefix and SMF Subsystem Identifier.
SMF Object Service Broker data can be extracted from the z/OS SMF data sets by using either the supplied S6BSMFEX utility or the z/OS system utility IFASMFDP. Refer to
TIBCO Object Service Broker for z/OS Utilities for information on S6BSMFEX and other SMF utilities that can be used to manipulate and report SMF data. If your SMF data is in VSAM format, you will need to use IFASMFDP to extract the data to a sequential file.
Setting the DOB parameter SMFRECORD to a value between 128 and 255 will enable DOB SMF recording. You might use the same the SMF number for your EE in order to facilitate the extraction of SMF data for an entire TIBCO Object Service Broker system. Setting the SMF record number can be done through either the //INITPARM parameter input file, or dynamically using the operator command:
Setting the EE parameter SMFTYPE to a value between 128 and 255 will enable EE SMF recording. Consider using the same SMF record value in both your DOB and EE in order to facilitate the extraction of SMF data for an entire TIBCO Object Service Broker system. Set the parameter values you wish to use for your EE in the CNTL(PARMxxxx) members corresponding to your EE configurations, then submit JCL(EECONFIG) to instantiate the values for execution. The amount and type of data recorded to SMF is controlled by the following EE parameters:
