Viewing the output data set

Before you begin

You must view the data using a program that can display record type 120.

Why and when to perform this task

The Java SMF Record Interpreter is provided in the form of a JAR file named bbomsmfv.jar. To use it from the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS UNIX environment:

Steps for this task

  1. Verify that the JAVA_HOME environment variable refers to the current Java installation:
    JAVA_HOME=../usr/bin/java/J1.3.
    This must be at least Java 1.3 since this release is the first to implicitly contain the necessary record support needed by the interpreter.
  2. Download the SMF Record Interpreter from the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Web site at: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=zosos390
  3. Copy the bbomsmfv.jar file to your tools directory.
    Be sure that any edits made to the file in the future are made to both copies of the file, or just run from the installation directory in the first place.
  4. To interpret SMF data from a cataloged WebSphere Application Server for z/OS sequential file named "USER.SMFDATA" (which was previously created using the IFASMFDP utility as described above), run:
    java -cp bbomsmfv.jar com.ibm.ws390.sm.smfview.Interpreter "USER.SMFDATA".
    It is implicit in the Java command parameterization that your current working directory is the tools directory. If this is not the case, you receive a NoClassDefFoundError on com.ibm.ws390.sm.smfview.Interpreter message. Java does not generate a diagnostic when it does not find the bbomsmfv.jar file in the current directory.

Results

The SMF ViewTool is successfully installed and invoked when you do not receive any Java error messages after the invocation and the Browser output is shown on the screen.
