How to use RMF XP for long-term performance analysis

To enable long-term performance analysis of AIX®, Linux and Windows systems, you can turn on SMF recording for SMF record type 104. This record type provides one range of subtypes for each supported platform. One specific subtype is used to keep the data for one individual CIM metric category according to the CIM data model on the affected platform. The CIM metric category, in return, is mapped to the resource models used by RMF XP on the supported platforms as described in z/OS RMF Programmer's Guide.

An overview of the available subtype ranges is presented in this topic. For detailed information about the mapping of CIM metric categories to RMF XP resource types, refer to z/OS MVS System Management Facilities (SMF).
