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 I and Monitor II sessions. For information on the Monitor III session, see MVSjXA Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) Monitor III - Reference and User's Guide. For information on the System Availability - Management function of RMF, see MVSjXA Resource Measurement Facility - (RMF) System Availability Management 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 work for you. • Reference information that enables you to locate a specific piece of required information.
