Sample SMF 30 Report -- Count of Tasks by Type of Work

The 3 sample reports below were created with Spectrum SMF Writer, the low-cost 4GL report writer for SMF files. In this example, we read the SMF file once, and make 3 separate reports during that single pass of the large file.

In this example each report selects the same records -- just the type 30 records with a subtype of 5 ("job termination" records.) (But Spectrum SMF Writer allows you to specify different selection criteria for each report, if wanted.) We then compute the elapsed time by subtracting the Job start date/time from the date/time the log record is written (at job termination time). We computed the elapsed time both in seconds, and in hours. For a job run monthly, you would probably want the hours to print in the report. For a days worth of data, you could show seconds. (Or create an elapased minutes field. Or print the elapsed time in HH:MM:SS format. With Spectrum SMF Writer's flexibility, you have lots of options.)

In the first report, we simply sort and break on the SMF30WID field from the SMF 30-5 records. SMF30WID contains a 4-byte "Work Type Identifier". By breaking on this field, the report shows us the count of tasks for each category of work (Started Tasks, TSO Sessions, etc.) It also shows the total elapsed time for each category. (Note that the sample report below used a very small test file of SMF records.)

The second report is very similar to the first one. But in this case, instead of using the SMF30WID field to categorize tasks, we created our own WOROK-TYPE field. We assigned values to it based on the contents of the Jobname (SMF30JBN) and the SMF30WID fields. Note that Spectrum SMF Writer has a very powerful comparison operator that other languages do not have -- the colon. The colon comparator means "contains." For example, we assign "CICS REGIONS" to WORK-TYPE if the jobname contains the characters CICS somewhere within it.

The third report is just like the second report -- but with an OPTION: SUMMARY statement added. That makes it a summary report showing only the total lines. All of the detail lines are suppressed. That is an option you would probably want if you ran this job on a whole month's worth of SMF data!
