SMF RECTYPES
There are four RECTYPE values defined to produce SMF records:
|
RECTYPE |
Description |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Indicates a start of task record. When included in a report, these statistics tell when a task initiation occurred, and are of no particular use in chargeback. By pairing start and end of task records for all tasks within a time period, statistics, such as average active time, peak task count, and average task count, can be determined. These values can be used for future capacity planning activities for the server. |
|
2 |
Indicates the start of a task record. When included in a report, these statistics tell when a task termination occurred. These records are cut for both publicly and privately deployed services and contain statistics for the subtask as a whole. For privately deployed services, RECTYPE (2) records contain statistics associated with a single user connection. |
