Thanks @Peter, this is starting to make some sense. Reading the documentation for each of the SMF 89 subtypes, it would appear that (in somewhat informal terms) subtype 1 reports CPU and zIIP time for a product, while subtype 2 reports the number of times that a product was run (registered itself as running). Is that a fair summary?
Would I be correct in inferring from that that subtype 1 might be more appropriate for a "long-running service" product like CICS, while subtype 2 would be more appropriate for a "batch" type product like, for example, a compiler or utility? The subtype 1 documentation refers to "product intersection data." The word intersection appears once in "MVS Product Management" where it seems to mean "one particular hour on one particular day." The SMF manual says "Product intersection time data sections are generated when a product registers at the ADDRSP level, and then invokes a product that registers at the TASK level." "ADDRSP" does not appear in the Product Management or Product Registration manuals. Can you elaborate a little on what makes for a subtype 1?

But the data identified by those services is captured in SMF 89 records that are written according to the SMF interval. IFAUSAGE (product usage) data is in SMF 89 subtype 1. IFAEDREG (product registration) data is in SMF 89 subtype 2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
