Generating and collecting SMF type 70 and type 89 records

For z/OS® systems your input to SCRT is one reporting period's worth of SMF type 70, subtype 1 (CPU activity) records and type 89 (product utilization) records.

To generate SMF type 70 records, you need a systems management product. You can use IBM's Resource Management Facility (RMF) or an equivalent product that produces these records. For more information about RMF, see z/OS RMF User's Guide.

Make sure that you are also collecting both SMF type 70, subtype 1 records and type 89, subtype 1 and 2 records. SMF record collecting is controlled by the SMFPRMxx member of PARMLIB. For general information about SMF, see z/OS MVS System Management Facilities (SMF). For more information about collecting SMF type 89 records, see z/OS MVS Product Management.
