6.2 Record Descriptions

The records shown in Figures 6-1 and 6-2 are used as input by
the CA MICS Web Analyzer.  These figures show when each
record is written and the content of the records.

The WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and OS/390
generates the SMF type 120 record.  The HTTP Server generates
SMF type 103 record, and is also capable of generating HTTP
Server Log Records.  These records are pre-processed through
the CA MICS Web Log Extractor utility.

Type 103 record provides configuration (subtype 01) and
performance (subtype 02) information for IBM's WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS and OS/390, HTTP Server.  These
records are written on a user-defined interval with a default
value of 15 minutes, which is initially set in the
configuration file.

Additional detailed information about SMF type 103 records
can be found in IBM's "HTTP Server Planning, Installing and
Using" guide.

Type 120 record provides Server Activity (subtype 01) and
Server Interval (subtype 03) information for IBM's WebSphere
Application Server for z/OS and OS/390.  Server activity
records are written as each activity within a server is
completed.  Server Interval records are written at
user-defined intervals, with a default value of 60 minutes (1
hour).

Additional detailed information about SMF type 120 records
can be found in the following guides:

o IBM's "WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and OS/390e:
  System Management User Interface"

o IBM's "WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and OS/390e:
