Table 8. RECORD Parameters
Parameter Description
SMF=NO Indicates that you want CMFMON to write records to the data set allocated to the
C79OUT DD statement. To write records to SMF data sets, specify SMF=YES.
This parameter is optional. If you do not specify it, records are written to the C79OUT
data set by default.
If you specify both SMF=YES and the C79OUT DD statement, CMFMON writes its
data to the SMF data sets. If neither is specified, CMFMON issues an error message
and terminates.
INTERVAL=mm|ssS|
QTR|HALF|HOUR
Specifies the CMFMON recording interval—that is, how often type 79 records are
written to the data set—where:
mm Indicates the number of minutes in the recording interval. Maximum
value is 60 minutes. Default is 1 minute.
ssS Indicates the number of seconds. Value specified must be followed by an
S, to indicate seconds, in lowercase or uppercase. Minimum value is 1
second; maximum is 3600.
QTR Is 15 minutes.
HALF Is 30 minutes.
HOUR Is 60 minutes.
If a number is specified alone, without an S after it, the number is interpreted as
minutes.
RUNTIME=mmmm Specifies how long CMFMON collects and writes data, where mmmm is number of
minutes. Default is 10 minutes. Specifying 1440 minutes causes CMFMON to continue
running until a STOP command is issued. Minimum value is whatever is specified on
the INTERVAL parameter. Maximum is 9999 minutes.
