SMF Type 121 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 121 SMF records
(Java Runtime Performance Statistics).

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

Purpose: SMF record type 121 is written by the IBM JZOS batch launcher for z/OS and is used to record z/OS Java runtime performance statistics. z/OS 2.3

It's easy to report on SMF 121 data!

SMF Spectrum Writer
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.
