z/OS Communications Server: SNA Diagnosis Vol 1, Techniques and Procedures
GC27-3667-00

Figure 1 shows an example of SMS trace output. The trace fields are explained in Table 1. In addition to the fields described here, other operating-system-dependent fields may appear. These fields are described in Table 1.

Two separate records will be printed, and they may be separated by another trace entry.

Table 1. Fields in the SMS trace
Field header Meaning
Pool ID The first field in each record. Pool ID identifies the buffer pool. Pool IDs and their corresponding buffer pool names are:
AP
Application program pageable pool (APBUF)
BS
Boundary session block pool (BSBUF)
CR
Copied RPL pool (CRPLBUF)
CRA4
Component recovery area
CRA8
Component recovery area
IO
Fixed I/O pool (IOBUF)
LF
Large fixed pool (LFBUF)
LP
Large pageable pool (LPBUF)
SF
Small fixed pool (SFBUF)
SP
Small pageable pool (SPBUF)
TI
HPDT Services (TIBUF)
UE
User exit control block (UECB) (obsolete)
XD
XID pool (XDBUF)
MAXU The maximum number of buffers in the pool that are in use at any time since the last trace record is written.
MAXQ The maximum number of requests for buffers that are queued waiting for storage at any time since the last trace record is written.
AVNO The number of available buffers (those not in use at the time the trace record is written).
TEXP The number of times the buffer pool is expanded since the last trace record is written.
MBUF The maximum number of buffers that are in the pool at any time since the last trace record is written. This includes both used and unused buffers.
TOTL The total number of buffers that are in the pool at the time this record is written. This includes both used and unused buffers.
TOTAL The amount of CSA storage in use by VTAM® at the time this record is written.
MAX The largest amount of CSA storage used by VTAM since the last SMS buffer trace.
FREE QUEUE The amount of CSA storage allocated to VTAM that is waiting to be freed.
TI Buffer pool supporting HPDT services
CRA4 Component recovery area (4 KB).
CRA8 Component recovery area (8 KB).
