SMF Type 72 Record (Subtype 3) - z/OS 1.11

This table shows the record layout for type 72 SMF records
(RMF Workload Activity and Storage Data - z/OS 1.11).

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

Purpose: Record type 72 has several subtypes.

Subtype 3 — Workload Activity is written for each service or report class defined in the active service policy. It includes the goals and the actual measured values for this class. Records have the following sections:

Workload control section Identifies the policy, workload and service/report class name and contains workload data.
Service class served data section Contains information about the service classes being served.
Resource group data section Contains information about the resource group to which the service class belongs.
Service/Report class period data section Contains goals and actual measured values for each service and report class period. In addition, there are pointers to the corresponding response time distribution data section and work/resource manager state section.
Response time distribution data section Contains the response time distribution map and count tables for each service class period with a response time goal.
Work/resource manager state section Contains the subsystem work manager delay array with two entries for each subsystem.

It's easy to report on SMF 72 data!

SMF Spectrum Writer
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 can export SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.

Subtype 3 — Work Manager/Resource Manager State Section

This section defines subsystem work manager delay arrays per service class period. Value SMF723CWMN in the service class period data section gives the number of entries in this section per service class period.
Entry in the subsystem work manager delay array.
There are always two entries for a subsystem:

  • One for the begin_to_end phase
  • One for the execution phase

The begin_to_end entry is always the first one.
(Offset from beginning of record: SMF72WRS)
00SMF723RTYP4EBCDIC
Subsystem type, as used in the classification rules specified in the WLM administrative application. The subsystem’s documentation should explain the meaning that the product attributes to the various states.
44SMF723RFLG1binary
Work/Resource manager flags.
Bit Meaning When Set
0 States sampled in the begin_to_end phase of a transaction.
1 States sampled in the execution phase of a transaction.

Reserved.
88SMF723RESS4binary
Total number of transaction states sampled in the phase specified by SMF723RFLG.
12CSMF723RACT4binary
Total number of active state samples. Active indicates that there is a program executing on behalf of the work request, from the perspective of the work manager. This does not mean that the program is active from the base control program’s perspective.
1610SMF723RRDY4binary
Total number of ready state samples. Ready indicates that there is a program ready to execute on behalf of the work request described by the monitoring environment, but the work manager has given priority to another work request.

2418SMF723RWLO4binary
Total number of waiting for lock state samples.
281CSMF723RWIO4binary

Total number of waiting for distributed request state samples. Waiting for distributed request indicates a high level that some function or data must be routed prior to resumption of the work request. This is to be contrasted with waiting for conversation, which is a low level view of the precise resource that is needed. A distributed request could involve waiting on a conversation as part of its processing.
