SMF Type 229 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 229 SMF records
(Voltage SecureData for z/OS z/Protect SMF Record).

List of other SMF record layouts available.
List of sample SMF reports.

Purpose: When SMF logging is enabled, Voltage writes its own SMF records.

Notes:
1. Voltage SecureData for z/OS will onlycreate spanned records for subtype 16 records: otherwise a given sub?record is always shorter than the 32,756-byte limit, and the header will be repeated on the next record.
2. System ID is obtained from field SMCASIDin SYS1.MACLIB(IEESMCA), which is pointed to by CVTSMCA in theCVT; if SMCASID is null, is off, so no records should be cut.
3. SRBoperation is not currently supported, so the SRB CPU fields are always 0.

The default record type is 229, but this is configurable at each shop. Spectrum Writer's layout is written without reference to a specific number. You should just make sure to select only Voltage records for your report. Do this by selecting the correct value of SMF229_RTY in an INCLUDEIF statement.

It's easy to report on SMF 229 data!

We have a low-cost 4GL report writer especially for SMF files. It's called Spectrum SMF Writer.

Spectrum SMF Writer handles the difficult SMF record parsing for you automatically. You just specify which fields you want to see.

Spectrum SMF Writer also converts the arcane date and time fields and reformats them into an attractive report.

Plus, Spectrum SMF Writer can export SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.
