All Adabas SMF records have a common structure, with some sections appearing in all records and others generated according to specific events and parameters specified through ADARUN or operator commands. The ASMFREC macro provides mapping DSECTs for all parts of the SMF record.
This document covers the following topics:
Adabas follows the modern convention for SMF record formats. A single record has:
A standard IBM-type header
A self-defining section that describes a variable number of detail sections
A product ID detail section
User-selected detail sections
Each detail section is described by an eight-byte entry in the self-defining section containing three fields. An entry is also called a triplet.
A 4-byte offset from the beginning of the record to the detail section
A 2-byte count of the number of instances of the detail section
A 2-byte length of each detail section instance. If there are no detail section instances of a given type, the triplet is all zeros.
Field ASNumD in the
product ID section
specifies the number of triplets in the self-defining section.
SMF records are z/OS V-format records with a system-imposed maximum length of 32,756 bytes. Most Adabas SMF records fit within this limit for most reasonable types of ADARUN nucleus specifications. However, detail sections such as File Activity could potentially have several thousand detail section instances.
If the entire set of instances will not fit in the space remaining in the
record, Adabas will include only as many as there are room for and write the
record. The SMF record is reset by clearing the triplets for all detail
sections except the product ID section and then adding as many of the remaining
instances as will fit, repeating until all detail sections are processed. Field
ASSegNo in the product
ID section will start at 1 and be incremented with each additional
record, and field ASSegL will be set to zero for the last (or
only) record for an interval or event.
If any detail section is so large that even one instance would cause the record size limit to be exceeded after resetting the SMF record, that detail type is deactivated.
The header section field ASSTy identifies a record
subtype.
A record of this subtype is generated during nucleus initialization. In addition to the header, self-defining and product ID sections, it contains ADARUN parameter and user sections if these have been selected by SMFDETAIL ADARUN parameter or operator commands.
A record of this subtype is generated during nucleus termination. In addition to the header, self-defining and product ID sections, it contains all detail sections specified by the SMFDETAIL ADARUN parameter or operator commands except for the ADARUN parameter section. Statistics in Adabas detail sections reflect totals for the entire nucleus session.
If interval recording has been specified by the SMFINTERVAL ADARUN parameter or operator command, a record of this subtype is generated at the expiration of each interval. In addition to the header, self-defining and product ID sections, it contains all detail sections specified by the SMFDETAIL ADARUN parameter or operator commands except for the ADARUN parameter section. Statistics in Adabas detail sections reflect activity since the previous interval ended, except where noted. This is also called a delta value.
If the Adabas ADARUN parameter detail section has been specified by the SMFDETAIL ADARUN parameter or operator commands, a record of this subtype is generated whenever an ADARUN parameter value is changed after nucleus initialization. In addition to the header, self-defining, product ID and ADARUN parameter sections, it may also contain a user section if that has been selected by SMFDETAIL ADARUN parameter or operator commands.
The nucleus accumulates usage statistics on the resources it uses to accomplish its tasks. These statistics may be recorded at user or system-defined intervals (see ADARUN parameter SMFINTERVAL) and at termination.
Interval recording (Adabas SMF record subtype 3) provides the usage since the last interval ended for each detail section. Adabas SMF record intervals may be synchronized with one of the system-level intervals specified by PARMLIB member SMFPRMxx entries. This allows straightforward analysis of the usage by allowing direct comparison with other record interval data. For example, you can compare the Adabas interval record with RMF data for the same interval to better understand system performance.
Statistics at termination (Adabas SMF record subtype 2) will have cumulative statistics that reflect activity for the entire nucleus session in each specified detail section.
Every Adabas SMF record contains header, self-defining and product ID sections. You can select additional detail sections through the SMFDETAIL ADARUN parameter or operator commands. Each section is mapped by a DSECT generated by the ASMFREC mapping macro.
The following table summarizes the Adabas SMF record sections:

The self-defining section follows immediately after the header section. It is part of the header section DSECT.
Each detail section triplet is identified by a base label as shown in the table at the beginning of this section. The base label begins with the prefix specified in the ASMFREC invocation followed by the letter T (for triplet), and then followed by a mnemonic detail section identifier. The base label with suffix O is the offset, with suffix L is the length, and with suffix N is the number of instances.
Here is an example of some triplets.

The product ID section is always present in every Adabas SMF record with one instance. It describes the nucleus generating the SMF record and provides information about the record’s contents.
The 2-byte version code consists of a major version and a minor version. A change, such as adding a new triplet or extending a detail section, will increment the minor version. All existing programs should continue to operate as no existing displacements have changed. A more disruptive change will increment the major version and require existing programs to (at least) be reassembled.

This selectable detail section may appear in interval or termination records (subtypes 2 and 3). Global cache statistics are available only for Adabas Cluster Services and Adabas Parallel Services nuclei. They are derived from the ones presented at nucleus shutdown or in response to a DXCACHE operator command. There is one detail section instance for each type of block. Users should examine the block type and not rely on any observed order of the instances. The following block types are reported:

This selectable detail section may appear in interval or termination records (subtypes 2 and 3). Global cache statistics are available only for Adabas Cluster Services and Adabas Parallel Services nuclei. They are derived from the ones presented at nucleus shutdown or in response to a DXCACHE operator command. There is potentially one instance for each file possible in the database as specified by ADADEF MAXFILES. The size of this detail section precludes the ability to generate it for every possible file, so there is one detail section instance for each file that has non-zero usage.

This selectable detail section may appear in interval or termination
records (subtypes 2 and 3). Internucleus messaging statistics are available
only for Adabas Cluster Services and Adabas Parallel Services nuclei. They are
derived from the ones presented at nucleus shutdown or in response to a DXMSG
operator command. This detail section appears with one instance. The number of
blocks allocated (ASMsgBBA) and the high water mark
(ASMsgBBH) reflect the entire nucleus session in interval
records.

This selectable detail section may appear in interval or termination records (subtypes 2 and 3). Internucleus messaging statistics are available only for Adabas Cluster Services and Adabas Parallel Services nuclei. They are derived from the ones presented at nucleus shutdown or in response to a DXMSG operator command. This detail section appears with two instances:
The first represents messages subject to the MXMSG timeout parameter.
The second represents certain control messages not subject to MXMSG.
The two instances may be summed for a single representation of all
messages. All message times are in microseconds. The minimum and maximum
durations (ASMsgHMn and ASMsgHMx ) reflect the entire
nucleus session in interval records. Field ASMsgMD2 is an extended
(16-byte) floating point sum of the squares of all message durations. It may be
used to compute a standard deviation.

This selectable detail section may appear in initialization records or whenever an ADARUN parameter is changed while the nucleus is running (subtypes 1 and 4 in the header section). It will not be generated for interval or termination records (subtypes 2 and 3). This section has a fixed-length portion containing most parameters, followed by variable-length areas for parameters capable of multiple values or lists of values.
Where possible, the individual field names are formed by prefixing the shortest allowable form of the parameter with ASP. In general, the SMF record will report character parameters in EBCDIC and numeric parameters in binary.
Parameters with limited enumerated values (YES or NO, for example) are reported in 1-byte fields if the possible values are unambiguous. Otherwise, the field length is that used by the nucleus, usually 4 bytes.
Here are some sample entries:
ASParm DSect ,
ASPAO DS Cl1 AOslog
ASPARE DS Bl4 ARExclude

The ADARUN AREXCLUDE parameter is a variable length list of values. The base parameter entry will be an offset from the beginning of the detail section to the table of values. The table is a 4-byte inclusive field followed by 4-byte file numbers. A separate DSECT maps the AREXCLUDE file exclusion table:

This selectable detail section may appear in interval or termination records (subtypes 2 and 3). I/O by DD data is derived from data presented at nucleus shutdown. There is one instance for each DD statement administered by the nucleus. You should examine the DD name and not rely on any observed order of the instances. An Adabas nucleus may open and close the same DD name multiple times. Multiple uses of a DD name are summed.
You might see this many DD statements in a single nucleus:
| Statement Type | Number of DD Statements |
|---|---|

This selectable detail section may appear in interval or termination records (subtypes 2 and 3). Storage pool statistics are derived from statistics presented at nucleus shutdown or in response to a DRES operator command. There is one instance for each storage pool with a non-zero size. Be sure to examine the pool name and not rely on any observed order of the instances.
Storage pool statistics are reported two ways: in bytes and also in units such as a user might specify as an ADARUN parameter, for example, NC. When the units are bytes, the two sets of statistics are the same.
Normally an interval record would show the change from the previous interval, but that isn’t meaningful for storage pools. Thus the interval and termination record subtypes all reflect total usage for the nucleus session.

This selectable detail section may appear in interval or termination records (subtypes 2 and 3). Thread activity data is derived from data presented at nucleus shutdown or in response to a DTH operator command. The ADARUN parameter NTHREAD defines the number of user threads for the nucleus session. There is one instance for each defined user thread. The thread number is implied by the sequence number of the instance.

Use the ASMFREC macro to generate the latest SMF record DSECTs. The ASMFREC macro will always generate the header and self-defining section DSECT. Detail section DSECTs will be generated as specified. The header and self-defining sections are mapped by a single DSECT. Each detail section is mapped by its own DSECT. The syntax of the ASMFREC macro is:
label ASMFREC Prefix={AS | prefix},
Detail={All | (type [,type]...)},
Title = {'Adabas SMF Records' | 'string'}
Specify a character string to be used as the initial characters for all DSECT and field names. The default is Prefix=AS.
Identify which detail section DSECTs are to be included in the expansion. "All" is the default and will include all detail sections. Alternatively, a comma-delimited list of types (enclosed in parentheses) can be specified; only the types specified will be included. The valid types are shown in the following table. A null value (Detail=) will inhibit all detail section DSECTs.
| ASMFREC Macro Specification | Detail Section Description | ASMFREC DSECT Name Produced by the ASMFREC Macro1 |
|---|---|---|
| CMD | Adabas command activity | xxCmd |
| CSHB | Adabas global cache activity by block type | xxChB |
| CSHF | Adabas global cache activity by Adabas file number | xxChF |
| CSHG | Adabas global cache activity | xxChG |
| CSHP | Adabas Parallel Services cache activity | xxChP |
| FILE | Adabas file activity | xxFile |
| LOCK | Adabas global lock activity | xxLok |
| MSGB | Adabas internucleus messaging control block activity | xxMsgB |
| MSGC | Adabas internucleus messaging counts | xxMsgC |
| MSGH | Adabas internucleus messaging service time histogram | xxMsgH |
| PARM | ADARUN parameter values | xxParm |
| IODD | I/O by DD name | xxIODD |
| STG | Storage pool | xxStg |
| THRD | Thread activity | xxThrd |
| USER | User-defined | user-defined |
Where xx is the prefix specified in the ASMFREC macro.
If the Title default "Adabas SMF Record " or another quoted string is specified, an assembler Title statement is generated before the header section DSECT. A null value (Title=) for this operand will inhibit a title in the DSECT.
You can provide a user exit if you want to add a detail section to the Adabas SMF record. The user exit is a separate load module whose name must be provided in the ADARUN UEXSMF parameter. For complete information about the user exit, read SMF User Exit, in the Adabas User, Hyperdescriptor, Collation Descriptor, and SMF Exits Manual.
An Adabas nucleus can register with z/OS to have CPU usage statistics included in IBM type 89 SMF records. These records are described in z/OS MVS System Management Facilities (SMF), IBM document SA22-7630.
To activate type 89 recording for Adabas, specify ADARUN parameters SMF=YES and SMF89=YES. During initialization Adabas will register the nucleus address space with z/OS SMF and have its CPU statistics included in subtype 1 of the type 89 records. The address space is deregistered at nucleus termination. Each Adabas nucleus appears as a separate type 89 entry.
The type 89 entries include CPU usage and a number of descriptive registration parameters. Adabas nuclei use these descriptive fields in type 89 entries as follows:
| SMF Type 89 Descriptive Fields | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Length | Format | Description | Value |
| SMF89UPO | 16 | EBCDIC | Product owner or vendor name | SOFTWARE AG |
| SMF89UPN | 16 | EBCDIC | Product name | ADABAS |
| SMF89UPV | 8 | EBCDIC | Product version | The eight-byte product version has two-byte numeric values for the Adabas version, release, SM level, and cumulative level. |
| SMF89UPQ | 8 | Binary | Product qualifier |
The product qualifier is a seven-byte string that may be used to distinguish among several nucleus instances. It contains a series of binary fields:
SVC (1 byte) Use both the SVC and DBID to identify instances of Adabas Cluster or Parallel Service nuclei for the same database on any one system. |
| SMF89UPI | 8 | EBCDIC | Product ID |
The product ID is a string of up to eight single characters to show what add-on products are being used. The characters may appear in any order:
C (Adabas Cluster
Services) C, P, and R are mutually exclusive. D, F, M, T and V are exclusive with R. |
