Record type 32 is written at normal or abnormal termination of
a TSO/E session. It
is written at the expiration of a TSO/E accounting interval. For more
information on using this information see Transaction billing and DETAIL or NODETAIL — Performing TSO/E command accounting.
To use the type 32 record, you must have installed MVS™ TSO/E. Type 32 records are produced for TSO/E
sessions only, TSO/E commands entered from batch jobs are not counted.
You can monitor the TSO/E commands users issue and record the number
of times a user issues a specific command or subcommand. For example,
you can:
- Keep track of and compare how frequently certain commands at your
installation are used. You may want to provide better performance
for the more commonly used commands by placing them in LPALIB.
- Keep track of the number of times users issue TSO/E commands so
you can bill users for their computer use.
- Audit the commands users issue to ensure they do not violate security
practices at your installation.
The record contains the names of the commands and the number of
times each command was used during the session and the device connect
times for each command. Only those commands included in CSECT IEEMB846
(and entered at least once) are used. Aliases of commands are counted
in separate entries in the record. For instance SEND and SE are counted
as separate commands. Statistics for all other commands is included
in ‘***OTHER’. Incorrect or unknown commands appear under ‘EXEC’.
The subtype is indicated in the SMF32TYP field. For information
on subtype selectivity see
SYS and SUBSYS with TYPE and NOTYPE — Selecting subtypes for SMF recording.
- Subtypes 1 and 3 contain data on TSO/E activity since the start
of the session or since the last interval record was produced.
- Subtypes 2 and 4 contain data on the cumulative TSO/E activity
for the entire session. If there is no activity during an interval,
no interval record is produced.
If DETAIL is specified in SMFPRMxx, the resource
data found under logon represents the resources used from the start
of the session to the time when the first command is obtained.
The length of the record is variable.
