The Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) is a measurement collection tool that is
designed to measure selected areas of system activity and present the data collected
in the form of SMF (System Management Facility) records, formatted printed
reports, or formatted display reports. An installation can use the information in the
RMF output to evaluate system performance and identify reasons for performance
problems.

This book provides a description of what RMF is, what it can do, and how to use
the RMF Monitor III session. For information on the Monitor I and II session, see
Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) Monitor I and II Reference and User's Guide.
For information on the System Availability Management (SAM) function of RMF
see MVSjXA Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) System Availability Manage
ment User's Guide.

This book is intended for use by the system programmer responsible for installing or
removing RMF and modifying its functions, for the system personnel responsible for
measuring and improving system performance, and for the operator and terminal
user. Because RMF is a tool for measuring system performance, this book assumes
that the reader has extensive knowledge of the MVS system.

The book contains three types of information:
• A basic, conceptual description of what RMF is and how it can help you to
measure system performance.
• Procedural information that describes step-by-step approaches to making RMF
Monitor III work for you.
• Reference information for RMF Monitor III that enables you to locate a specific
piece of required information.
