System configuration requirements

SMF

The Usage Monitor collects several types of information from SMF records written by the system. It does this by deploying its own IEFU84 SMF exit to gain access to type 30 and type 89 SMF records.

However, this exit will only be given control if IEFU84 is an active SMF exit.

Accordingly, in the system’s SMF parameters, ensure that NOEXITS is not specified, and that IEFU84 is specified in any list of SMF exits named in any EXITS parameter which may apply to the started task (STC) or batch job (JES2 or JES3) subsystems.

Also ensure that type 30 and type 89 SMF records are being written by the system, and that SMF interval recording is active for the started task (STC) and batch job (JES2 or JES3) subsystems.

Inquisitor virtual storage requirements

If you use IEFUSI or SMFLIMxx in PARMLIB to limit data space storage usage, ensure that the Inquisitor can create up to 5 plus MAXTASKS data spaces, and that up to 12GB of data spaces may be allocated. These sizes are a small fraction of the z/OS default limits. The Inquisitor will report data space usage details to provide performance feedback.
