The CA MICS Hardware and SCP Analyzer allows consistent
analysis of system resource activity as reflected in RMF.
RMF (Resource Measurement Facility) operates exclusively on
z/OS operating systems. RMF measures performance,
utilization, resource consumption, and workload levels for
z/OS systems. RMF data is recorded in SMF records 70 through
79 in the SMF data sets.
There are three RMF monitors:
o RMF Monitor I is the primary monitor and is active on most
systems.
o RMF Monitor II performs many measurements similar to
RMF Monitor I. However, some system activity is only
measured by RMF Monitor II, such as reserve activity.
RMF Monitor II is often used as an interactive monitor
but can also be run as a background session that
produces SMF records.
o RMF Monitor III measures workload delays. RMF Monitor
III can write SMF records.
The parameters that control these monitors are set in the
ERBRMFxx members of SYS1.PARMLIB.
The CA MICS Hardware and SCP Analyzer processes all records
generated by RMF Monitor I. In addition, some records are
processed from RMF Monitor II background sessions. Section
6.2 identifies and defines the records processed by the
CA MICS Hardware and SCP Analyzer.
The CA MICS Hardware and SCP Analyzer uses the type 70
through 79 SMF records created by the RMF to populate files
in the HAR, SCP, and WLM Information Areas. Consult with
your organization's system programmer to ensure that these
records are available from your systems.
Details about records used by this CA MICS product are
discussed later in this chapter.
