Accumulating performance data

Various components of Control‑M collect performance related data. The accumulated data is written to SMF records. The records are written to SMF once every Newday, periodically or in response to an operator command (PERFDATA). In addition to writing the performance data to SMF records, the data is also written to the file defined by ddname DATRACE. The writing of the SMF records is accompanied by corresponding messages in the IOA trace file. For more information on the collection of performance data, see Identity Level (IDL) facility.

The SMF records containing the performance data can be extracted and processed by the Control‑M CTMRSMF utility. For more information on the CTMRSMF utility, - see the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.
