Processing of CMF (SMF 110) records is accomplished in CA JARS by using a dictionary similar to the standard CICS CMF dictionary that is produced when monitoring is started. Unlike the CICS dictionary, which can be viewed primarily as a table of index elements that provide access to data elements, the CA JARS dictionary is simply a flat-file format, where each record in the file maps an individual element or field in the SMF 110 record. This construct was designed to simplify maintenance and to allow manual user modification in extreme circumstances where the fixed architecture design doesn't satisfy the businesses accounting requirements.
The layout of the dictionary is presented in the section CA JARS CMF Dictionary Record Layout in this chapter. For the most part it follows the format of the DFHMCTDR macro with the addition of an EXTDATA offset that tells CA JARS where to place the field in the EXTDATA record. Multiple dictionaries may be concatenated on the CAIJSDCI ddname to support various releases of CICS in the same CA JARS run.
