Some people think reading SMF data is some kind of black magic. Others put SMF into the "too hard" bucket. And I was the same. Until recently.
This past year I learned about using SMF with IBM MQ for z/OS. This presentation is the result of my efforts and hopefully will make SMF seem less scary and worth trying out for yourself if you have never used it before.
We'll cover how to get your queue manger to create the data; how to get the data out of SMF; and what to do with it next.
Then we'll take a look at the kinds of questions you can answer using the data you have collected.
