5.2.1.3 WEBWCF Usage Considerations

As documented in the WebSphere Application Server for OS/390
HTTP Server Guide, the subtype 01 record is generated only at
the server start-up time.

The WEBWCF file is only available at the DETAIL time-span. An
SMF type 103 subtype 01 record is generated only at WebSphere
server initialization, so there may be multiple records for a
specific server for a particular day, if that server is
restarted multiple times on that date.  Conversely, if a
server is up for a long duration without restarting, there
will be long time-spans between WEBWCF observations for that
server.  This file contains the configuration information,
defined in the HTTPD.CONF file, which does not lend itself to
summarization at higher time-spans.

By default, the file contains the most recent seven
observations for each web server.  The observation count for
web server is controlled with the "WCFLIMIT nn" parameter
value specified in prefix.MICS.PARMS(WEBOPS).  See section
7.2.3 in this guide for more information about the WCFLIMIT
parameter.

The WEBWCF file contains the HTTP Server Configuration
Directive values contained in the SMF type 103 subtype 1
record.  Configuration directive values not contained in the
WEBWCF file may be found in the WebSphere server's HTTPD.CONF
file.
