Improvements to SMF Statistics Records and Documentation

Improvements to SMF Statistics Records and Documentation

Improvements have been made to SMF statistics records. Also, the documentation on SMF statistics logging in the
PowerExchange Reference Manual
has been enhanced to provide more detail on SMF record format and layout and how to view statistics written to SMF or a file.
In the General section of SMF records, the following statistics fields now report cumulative System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) times:
  • PWXGTCP reports the zIIP qualified time.
  • PWXGTOT reports the time spent on the zIIP.
  • PWXGTOF reports the zIIP time that was offloaded to the Central Processor.
Documentation enhancements include:
  • The description of the SMFxSTY field in the "Standard SMF Header with Subtype" section has been enhanced.
  • The "SMF Triplet Section Descriptor" topic has been added to describe the triplet fields in records logged to SMF.
  • Instructions for viewing statistics written to SMF have been added.
  • The documentation now notes that you must use the pwxstats.file data map to view statistics that have been written to SMF or a sequential data set from the PowerExchange Navigator. The data map file must have the same version and release level as the PowerExchange Listener. You should not edit this file.
  • Graphics have been added to show the general layout of records written to SMF and to a sequential data set, also called a PowerExchange file.
For more information, see "SMF Statistics Logging" in the
PowerExchange Reference Manual
