Use the SMF Browser to view the output data set from the WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® UNIX® environment.
Before you begin
The data set should be viewed using a program that can display
record type 120.
About this task
The SMF Browser 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 SMF Browser.
- Download the SMF Browser from the WebSphere 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 Browser 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.
