SMF Type 75 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 75 SMF records
(RMF Page Data Set Activity - z/OS 1.11).

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

Purpose: Record type 75 is written at the end of each RMF measurement interval. One record is written for each page data set monitored during the interval.

As with all SMF records RMF produces, record type 75 contains a header section and RMF product section. These are followed by:

Page Data Set Data Section Provides information on the use of auxiliary storage page slots and the use of the page data set by the auxiliary storage manager (ASM)

It's easy to report on SMF 75 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 can export SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.
