Function

To display the current status of System Management Facility (SMF) buffers.

Parameters

BUFFREE

Displays the number of SMF buffers which are currently not in use.

BUFNUM

Specifies the number (0-10000) of system management facilities (SMF) buffers JES2 obtains.

BUFWARN

Specifies the percentage (0-100) of SMF buffers in use at which the operator will be alerted.

Authority Required

This command requires display authority. The description of the $T RDRnn command explains how to ensure that the authority of the appropriate MVS™ system command group is assigned.

This command requires read security access authority. For a description of assigning command input authority, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide, SA32-0991.

Scope

The scope of some commands varies by parameter.

Some parameters on certain commands will display information about the entire MAS, while other parameters will display information about this member only.

For those commands that are single member scope, or have some parameters that are single member scope, you might want to use the parameters for that command to get information about all members of the MAS. If so, you can use the MVS ROUTE *ALL command to issue that command to all active members (if the JES2 command character is the same on all members). See z/OS MVS System Commands, SA38-0666 for more information on using the ROUTE *ALL command.

Messages

The individual parameter descriptions list the resulting messages.
