SMF Record Layouts

The Type 6 External Writer SMF record is optional and is created if the startup parameter SMF= is set to YES.

Note: The z/OS Type 6 record format definition can be found in the assembler language macro SYS1.MACLIB(IFASMFR).

The Type 30 Common Address Space Work (generally used for accounting) is optional and can be created by the operating system and can be processed by CA Deliver to determine job termination.

• CA-Deliver uses these records if the startup parameter SMF30= is set to YES.
• If you specify NO, type 5 SMF records must be produced by your operating system for CA Deliver to determine job termination.

In a Cross Memory Services (XMS) session, SMF records can also be created. The creation and record type number is controlled by the XMS startup parameter SMFSESS=. The record format definition can be found in the assembler language macro CAI.CVDEMAC(EBCSMFU1).

Note: SMF records can also be created by CA View. For more information about these SMF records, see the CA View Reference Guide.
