6.9.2 Operations SMF Record Descriptions

The operations SMF records contain information about IPLs,
outages, hardware, software, and system configuration.  These
SMF records are generated when particular events in the
system occur and they are not interdependent, as are the
Batch SMF records.  Each record gives information about some
event.  The operations SMF records are outlined below with a
brief explanation of the event recorded and the information
contained in the record.

o  SMF Type 0 - IPL

The SMF type 0 record is written after every IPL of the
system.  It includes the virtual and real storage sizes and
some of the SMF options in effect.

o  SMF Type 7 - SMF Data Lost

The SMF type 7 record is the first record built when no SMF
data sets are available.  Data existing in the SMF buffer is
written to the newly available SMF data set before the type 7
record is built in the buffer.  This record contains a count
of the SMF records that were not written, and the start and
end times of the period during which no records were written.

o  SMF Type 8 - I/O Configuration

The SMF type 8 record is written after the IPL of the system
is completed and the SET DATE operator command is issued.
This record identifies each device that is online at IPL by
device class, unit type, channel address, and unit address.

o  SMF Type 9 - Vary Online

The SMF type 9 record is written when a VARY ONLINE command
is processed.  This record identifies the device being added
to the configuration by device class, unit type, channel
address, and unit address.  With ESCON support, the reason
for the VARY command is given.

o  SMF Type 10 - Allocation Recovery

The SMF type 10 record is written after a successful device
allocation recovery.  This record identifies the device that
is made available by device class, unit type, channel
address, and unit address.

o  SMF Type 11 - Vary Offline

The SMF type 11 record is written when a VARY OFFLINE command
is processed.  This record identifies the device being
removed from the configuration by device class, unit type,
channel address, and unit address.  With ESCON support, the
reason for the VARY command is given.

o  SMF Type 22 - Configuration

The SMF type 22 record is written after every IPL of the
system when a VARY CPU or VARY CH operator command is
processed, when a VARY STOR operator command is processed,
and when a VARY ONLINE,S or VARY OFFLINE,S operator command
is processed.  This record describes the CPU, channel, or
storage range.

o  SMF Type 23 - SMF Status

The SMF type 23 record is written at the interval specified
in the STATUS parameter in SYS1.PARMLIB(SMFPRMxx).  This
record contains the time the record was written, the number
of buffers written, the number of buffer suspensions, the
recording interval, the maximum number of SMF buffers in use,
the number of SMF records written, and the interval start
time.

o  SMF Type 31 - TIOC Initialization

The SMF type 31 record is written when a MODIFY TCAM
operation command is issued.  This record contains the number
of time-sharing buffers, buffer size, maximum number of
output and input buffers allowed per terminal before wait
thresholds, and number of buffers reserved on the free queue.

o  SMF Type 43 - JES Start

The SMF type 43 record is written during JES initialization.
This record contains an indicator for the type of start, JES
initialization deck origin type and contents, and JES
procedure name.

o  SMF Type 45 - JES Stop

The SMF type 45 record is written during JES termination.
This record contains an indicator for the type of JES stop
and JES completion code.

o  SMF Type 90 - System Status

The SMF type 90 record is written whenever certain operator
commands are issued.  The record is created for operation and
reporting of reliability data and allows the data center to
establish availability statistics.  CA MICS uses record
subtypes 1 through 18, 23, and 24.  They are summarized
below:

    SMF Type 90 Subtype  1 - SET TIME
    SMF Type 90 Subtype  2 - SET DATE
    SMF Type 90 Subtype  3 - SETDMN
    SMF Type 90 Subtype  4 - SET IPS
    SMF Type 90 Subtype  5 - SET SMF
    SMF Type 90 Subtype  6 - SWITCH SMF
    SMF Type 90 Subtype  7 - HALT EOD
    SMF Type 90 Subtype  8 - IPL PROMPT (see Section 6.3.5)
    SMF Type 90 Subtype  9 - IPL SMF
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 10 - IPL SRM (and WLM)
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 11 - SET OPT
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 12 - SET ICS
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 13 - SETSMF
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 14 - SET MPF
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 15 - SET SMF (Restart)
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 16 - SET DAE
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 17 - SET PFK
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 18 - SET GRSRNL
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 23 - WLM Service Definition Install
    SMF Type 90 Subtype 24 - WLM Service Policy Activation
