5.2.5.3 WEBSIF Usage Considerations


This WEBSIF file is derived from SMF type 120 subtype 03
records.  Each record contains activity that is running
inside the WebSphere for z/OS application server.  Each
observation in this file is produced from one subtype 03
record.  The observation represents data created at regular
intervals and contains information that is an aggregate of
the work that ran inside the server instance during the
interval.

A single observation is present for each server instance that
has interval recording active during the interval.  If a
server has multiple server instances, then an observation for
each server instance will be present in the file.  The
observations from these multiple instances must be merged to
get a complete view of the work that ran inside the server.
