Disabling SMF recording for WebSphere Application Server

Before you begin

Ensure that you have proper access to the administrative console.

Why and when to perform this task

SMF recording can be enabled for WebSphere Application Server, and for z/OS. The following steps describe how to disable SMF recording for WebSphere Application Server:

Steps for this task

  1. Click Server>Application Servers in the navigation tree. The Application Servers page appears.
  2. Click the application server name in the Name column of the Application Server collection table. The configuration panel of the application server selected appears.
  3. On the configuration panel, under the Additional Properties section, click on Custom Properties.
  4. To disable SMF type 120 records, set the following properties to 0 or false:
    • name = server_SMF_server_activity_enabled = 0 (or server_SMF_server_activity_enabled = false)
    • name = server_SMF_server_interval_enabled = 0 (or false)
    • name = server_SMF_container_activity_enabled = 0 (or false)
    • name = server_SMF_container_interval_enabled = 0 (or false)
    Alternatively, you could delete the SMF related properties. However, it will be easier for you to enable SMF recording later if you keep the properties in place and just change their values to false.
  5. Click OK or Apply.
  6. Save the changes and make sure a file sync is performed before restarting the servers.
  7. For the changes to take effect, restart the application server.

Results

You have successfully disabled SMF recording for WebSphere Application Server when SMF records of records type 120 are no longer being recorded.
