Resource Measurement Facility (RMF)

The Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) is a measurement tool designed to meet the needs of performance management in the large systems environment that MVS supports.

Its primary purpose is to reduce the amount of system programmer time and expertise required to identify and to diagnose system tuning problems. It is designed to monitor selected areas of system activity and present the data collected in the form of SMF records or formatted reports. Display reports are also available for some system activities. For more details, see Resource measurement facility and z/OS Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) User's Guide.
