SMF data stream reference

For each System Management Facilities (SMF) record type, this reference lists the name of the data stream that Z Common Data Provider uses to collect the data and includes a brief description of the data stream content.

In the Configuration Tool, the SMF data stream names are shown in the Select data stream window, which opens when you click the Add Data Stream icon Add Data Stream icon in the Policy Profile Edit window.
The SMF data stream reference is organized by SMF record type ranges. Select a range in Table 1 to view the detailed data stream information for those SMF types.
Table structure of sub-topics
Each SMF data stream reference table includes the following columns:
  • Type: The SMF record type.
  • Subtype: The subtype of the SMF record. No subtype is shown when the stream applies to all subtypes or the record has no subtypes.
  • Data stream name: The name of the data stream to which the SMF data is written.
  • Description: A brief description of the data stream content.
Note: For details of the SMF record contents, see the related DEFINE RECORD and DEFINE UPDATE members in the SHBODEFS data set.
Attention: Most _V2 data streams in the tables represent updated versions that supersede their original counterparts. For example, SMF_100_ABC_V2 supersedes SMF_100_ABC.
