This section includes Subtype 7: WebContainer activity record (Version 2)
The purpose of the WebContainer activity SMF record is to record activity within a WebContainer running inside a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS transaction server.
The Web container is deployed within an EJB and runs within the EJB container. The WebContainer acts as a Web server handling HTTP sessions and servlets. The EJB container is not aware of the work the WebContainer does. Instead, the EJB container only records that the EJB has been dispatched. Meanwhile, the WebContainer gathers the detailed information, such as HTTP sessions, servlets, and their respective performance data. A single WebContainer Activity record is created for each activity that is run within a Web container.
WebContainer SMF recording is activated and deactivated along with the activation and deactivation of SMF recording for the J2EE container.

HttpSessionManager section
There is one section per record. The HttpSessionManager section contains information about all (there may be zero or one) http sessions associated to one single activity.

8 | 8 | SM120WAJ | 4 | binary | "activeSessions": Number of http sessions that were referenced during this activity. |
12 | C | SM120WAK | 4 | binary | "sessionLifeTime": lifetime of the session in milliseconds. If "invalidatedSessions" > 0, this is the average lifetime (in milliseconds) of the invalidated http session. |
WebApplication section
There are multiple (0-n) sections per record. The WebApplication section contains information about all WebApplications involved in this activity.

Timestamp from System.currentTimeMillis() when the servlet was loaded, in
HEX format. Sample: The data as it appears in the record has the format e7ef7c577c, which needs to be converted to a Java long: 996155348860. The Java long digits can be converted to java.util.Date: Thu Jul 26 15:49:08 GMT+02:00 2001 |
