SMF QUESTION

Gentle Readers,

I am trying to print TYPE 17 records(using IDCAMS PRT command) to find out what dsns were deleted from 15:00 (3.pm.) up to 17:00 (5.pm. The IDCAM report that is produced doesn't seem to give me what I am looking for. I was wondering if someone can validate my input cards.
//SYSIN DD *
INDD(SMF,OPTIONS(DUMP))
START(1500)
END(1700)
OUTDD(OUTDD1,TYPE(17:17))
/*
//STEP2 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,TIME=1440
//DD1 DD DSN=&&SM11,
// DISP=(OLD,DELETE),
// DCB=(RECFM=VBS,LRECL=32760,BLKSIZE=4096)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
PRINT INFILE(DD1) DUMP
/*

Thanks in advance

1) What does the output say from the IFASMFDP program?
The bottom of the listing will tell you how many records were extracted.
2) Go to CBTTAPE.ORG and download DAF. It can read SMF Data and it is easier to extract details like this

IDCAMS probably had no records from the IFASMFDP step

There wee 80,958 records printed. I just want to ensure that the parms for the start and stop time is of the proper syntax..

Esmie moo,

The SMF17 record is simple and straight forward as it does not have
variable sections or triplets. There are 2 time fields in the SMF layout

SMF17TME - Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, when the record
was moved into the SMF buffer.

SMF17RST - Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the reader
recognized the JOB card (for this job).

I assumed that you wanted to extract the data from SMF17RST field. So here
is a DFSORT job which will format your entire SMF17 data while extracting
the information that ran between 15:00:00(3 pm) and 17:00:00(5 pm). Look
at the OUTFIL INCLUDE commands for the inclusion ranges.

//STEP2 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DISP=(OLD,DELETE),DSN=&&SM11,
//SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *

Further if you have any questions please let me know

So the report on the far right hand side at the bottom says 80+ records.

Starting in Col 1
DATE(yyyyddd,yyyyddd)
START(hhmm)
END(hhmm)

This report show 522 records for SMF 88 Records

By not specifying a date, you extracted records from the 2 hour window for every day present in the SMF data.

While probably not a problem, the ":17" is superfluous for a single record type.

As suggested, DAF is the tool of choice for this since it will allow you to eliminate the records for temporary datasets and format the output into something easier to read.

Thanks Lizette.
I checked my report and it does have record count of 15,421 for that specific time range and record type. This confirms that I am on the
right track.

Nothing more I can think of.

DAF would be an easy way to verify your SMF data.

ICETOOL or SYNCTOOL can also read SMF Data and extract based on SMF Type and Date/time range. This has been posted and should be in the archives.
