SMF Type 78 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 78 SMF records
(RMF Virtual Storage and I/O Queuing Activity - z/OS 2.4).

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

Purpose: RMF writes record type 78 during a Monitor I session. It has these subtypes:

Subtype 2 reports virtual storage activity. It contains a common storage data section and may contain one or more private area data sections. The minimum length of subtype 2 is 1836 bytes if no private area is included. Otherwise the length is 112 bytes plus 1724 bytes plus at least 392 bytes for each private area that is monitored.
Subtype 3 reports I/O queuing activity and HyperPAV activity. It contains an entry for each logical control unit that had any activity during the interval.
Note: Your installation may produce several type 78 subtype 3 records.
Subtype 3 contains the following sections:
- Control section
- IOP Initiative Queue and Utilization data section
- I/O Queuing Configuration control section
- I/O Queuing Configuration data section
- I/O Queuing data section
- HyperPAV/SuperPAV data section

Each subtype contains a header section followed by the RMF product section.

It's easy to report on SMF 78 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.
