The System Logger report processes System Logger (SMF 88) records to provide information on the System Logger logstreams and coupling facility structures that are used by CICS® Transaction Server for logging, recovery, and backout operations. The report can assist with measuring the effects of tuning changes and identifying Logstream or Structure performance problems.
The System Logger List report shows information on Logstream writes, deletes, and events, as well as Structure Alter events for each SMF recording interval.
The System Logger Summary report summarizes Logstream and Structure statistics so you can measure Logger performance over a longer period of time.
These reports, when used in conjunction with the CICS Logger reports produced from the standard CICS statistics reporting utilities, provide a comprehensive analysis of the logstream activity for all your CICS systems.
