A brief description of the tasks and utilities is provided in the following sections. For usage information, sample JCL, and sample reports for these utilities, refer to
TIBCO Object Service Broker for z/OS Utilities.
The S6BSMEJ utility summarizes SMF data by job, tasks and TSO user. It provides a breakdown of SMF record types, subtypes, counts, and number of bytes of SMF data per job, task, and TSO user.
The S6BSMEJB utility groups reporting information by job name. It provides a report similar to that produced by S6BSMEJA, except it groups all executions with the same job name together.
The S6BSMETY utility analyzes SMF usage. The report produced tells you what types of SMF records you collected and how much space these records occupy.
The S6BSMESD utility checks an SMF file. It scans an SMF file and produces a report of record counts by date, time, and system ID. The report can also help you to detect missing, duplicate, or out-of-sequence SMF record ranges.
The S6BSMFAK utility adds a key to SMF records for sorting. Job identification within most SMF records is by job name and reader-start data and time. Use this utility to modify SMF records so that their job identification appears at the standard offset. After sorting the records, use S6BSMFDK to restore the modified records to their original layout.
The S6BSMFCH utility produces a report generally similar to S6BSMESD but in the sequence of the SMF file itself. All changes in record date, system ID, or significant time gaps result in a new print line. Bracketing SMF type 2 and 3 records are shown.
The S6BSMFDK utility removes a key added for sorting. If you used S6BSMFAK to modify records for sorting, use this utility to restore the records to their original layout.
The S6BSMFEX utility extracts selected SMF records. Use it to extract a subset of TIBCO Object Service Broker SMF records. Although it is possible to run the TIBCO Object Service Broker SMF reporting programs using SMF archive tapes, you could decide to extract a subset of SMF records into a sequential disk file so that they can be sorted and processed more rapidly.
S6BSMFEX extracts either all TIBCO Object Service Broker SMF records or job-related SMF records for a job name or job names specified in PARM=. Particular record types can be specifically excluded from the extract. Alternatively, you could use the IFASMFDP z/OS utility. For more information, refer to
