Use the Java SMF Record Interpreter to view the output data set
from the Application Server for z/OS UNIX environment.
Before you begin
You must view the data set using a program that can display record
type 120.
About this task
The Java SMF Record Interpreter is provided in the form of a JAR
file named bbomsmfv.jar. The bbomsmfv.jar file
is not supported by IBM. To use it from the WebSphere Application Server for
z/OS UNIX environment:
Procedure
- 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.
- Download the SMF Record Interpreter from the Application Server
for z/OS Web site at: https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=zosos390.
- 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.
- 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.
