SMF and Java tools for z/OS
Black Hill Software specializes in z/OS SMF reporting and Java on z/OS.
We have several SMF reporting tools for processing SMF data on the mainframe (zIIP enabled) or on Windows or Linux systems.
We also have some free Java utilities for working with mainframe data.
EasySMF for z/OS
EasySMF is a Windows program that provides SMF reports to help Systems Programmers manage their systems.
EasySMF JE
EasySMF:JE is a Java API for processing SMF data.
It runs on z/OS, Windows, Linux and other Java platforms and is zIIP eligible on z/OS.
- Classes represent different SMF records and record sections.
- Methods use a common pattern for reading sections from the records.
- SMF data is converted to Java data types. Dates and times are converted to java.time classes, so you don’t have to deal with the many different units used in SMF data.
EasySMF RTI
EasySMF:RTI is a Java API for the z/OS SMF Real Time Interface.
EasySMF:RTI allows you to process real time SMF data in Java programs, without exits or APF authorized code.
- Create SMS text message alerts for job failures.
- Forward SMF data to another system for real time processing.
