Using SMF to Audit APPC Work

For every job that issues APPC/MVS callable services, SMF writes summary conversation information in a type 30 record. This record reflects the total conversation activity for a particular job's address space. In addition, SMF writes a type 33, subtype 1 record specifically for APPC inbound work scheduled by the APPC/MVS transaction scheduler, and a type 33, subtype 2 record for individual APPC/MVS conversations (inbound and outbound) on the system.

To use APPC conversation information and APPC transaction records, your installation must customize its accounting packages that read the SMF records.
