Sample Report from SMF 74 Subtype 4 Records
Showing RMF Coupling Activity Over an Interval

It's easy to report on SMF 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 even exports SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.

The sample SMF report below was created with Spectrum SMF Writer, the low-cost 4GL SMF report writer.

This report reads as input the SMF file and selects just the type 74 RMF Activity records with subtype = 4. (See SMF 74 record layout.) Each of these SMF records contains multiple Request Sections. We normalize these sections in order to easily print the same report information from each request section. We then print a report line for each Request Section, showing various statistics relating to synchronous and asynchronous requests during the interval. It also shows a count of certain requests for which no resource was available.

In this report, we take advantage of several of Spectrum's special formatting options. The BIZ ("blank if zero") option suppresses 0 values, which can clutter up a report. Also, since the SMF744SASQ field encompasses a wide range of values, we used a "scaled" type of picture to format it. Spectrum automatically displays a value with the appropriate K, M, G, ... suffix as necessary. This technique lets you display more data (in smaller columns) when it is not essential to know the exact value of a field.

We also used another technique to squeeze more data columns into the report. Since the identical Sysplex and System names appear for hundreds of consecutive lines, we moved those 2 fields from the detail report lines up into the page titles. We page-break on those fields to insure that the data on each page comes from a single Sysplex-System.

All of this with just a couple of dozen lines of code!
Why not install a Spectrum SMF Writer trial right now and start making your own SMF reports!
