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
