Channel Profile Report from SMF 73 Records

List of SMF record layouts available.
List of sample SMF reports.

It's easy to report on SMF data!

We have a low-cost 4GL report writer especially for SMF files. It's called Spectrum SMF Writer.

Spectrum SMF Writer handles the difficult SMF record parsing for you automatically. You just specify which fields you want to see.

Spectrum SMF Writer also converts the arcane date and time fields and reformats them into an attractive report.

Plus Spectrum SMF Writer even exports SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.

The SMF report below was created with Spectrum SMF Writer, the low-cost 4GL report writer for SMF files.

In this report we report on RMF's collected channel statistics. We read in the SMF 73 (RMF Channel Path Activity) records. (See SMF 73 record layout.) We report on each channel's utilization (LPAR as well as total). We also report on the average read- and write-speed (in megabytes per second) for each channel.

This is the kind of information that you might be able to monitor live if you have an expensive monitoring product. This report shows you the same information on a historical basis from your SMF logs.

All of this useful executive information with just a few lines of code!
Why not install a Spectrum SMF Writer trial right now and start making your own SMF reports!
