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.
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.
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.
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.
