SMF CPU Time for USS Services

The MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer creates Unix System Services (USS) individual process activity observations from the Open Edition/MVS Process Section(s) of the SMF type 30 Common Address Space Work step and interval records (subtypes 2, 3, and 4).

The following
MICS
file contains USS process activity:
  • BATOEP - Open Edition/MVS Process Activity File
At the DETAIL time-span, BATOEP file may contain several observations representing the resource usage for each individual process utilizing Unix System Services. Additionally, some observations contain resource usage for child processes that are created by fork() and spawn() functions.
MICS
creates a separate observation in the BATOEP file for each Open Edition/MVS Process section found in an SMF type 30 step or interval record. The data elements required to associate the parent and child processes are included in the BATOEP file.
The following CPU time data elements represent the CPU time used by USS processes during a step or interval:
OEPUSSTM - USS CPU Time
OEPUSSTM contains the contents of SMF type 30 field SMF30OST.
It contains the TCB and SRB CPU time used by a process utilizing Unix System Services (USS).
