Determining
RNI and LSPR Workload
If you collect SMF type 113 records, and you
run MXG, then you can run either of these two freeware programs to determine
which workload should be used for zPCR analysis and in our BoxScore workload
analysis. You must use at least MXG 29.02 to get the correct results.
Obtaining
SMF Counts
In our ongoing Tuning Letter series on SMF records,
we have been trying to accumulate statistics by SMF subtype, in addition
to SMF types. Because most sites do not get that information, we
included an article about some programs to accomplish that. Here
is a link to that article.
If you are willing to send us information about the SMF subtypes that you
collect, we would certainly appreciate it.
The following is a SAS program that extracts information about SMF record types and subtypes from the MXG PDB.ID file, and produces a tabular report and a CSV file. It was written by Scott Barry of SBBWorks, Inc. and is offered to our readers for public, unwarranted use. There are four files associated with this:
SAS Program JCL, Source, and Documentation (5 KB)PLEASE NOTE: Cheryl would like a copy of the CSV file from any site which uses this because she is trying to analyze the breakout and typical size of SMF data by subtype. Just send it via an email to technical at watsonwalker.com. All information will be kept confidental.
