Running Jobs
This report combines information from all the type 30 subtypes to show job status and resource consumption during the report period.
The status can be reported as Started, Ended, Running or Complete.
-
Started - The job started during the interval, and was still running at the end of the interval. One of the following was found:
- a job start record
- a record from step 1 and the start time was during the interval
- a subtype 5 record and the job start time was during the interval
but no job end record was found
-
Ended - The job was running at the beginning of the interval, and ended during the interval. A job end record was found but no start record.
-
Running - The job was running for the whole interval. Only interval or step end records were found.
-
Complete - The job started and ended during the interval. Both start and end records were found.
An accurate status depends on all the type 30 subtypes being collected - e.g. if you only collect subtype 5 records you will only see Ended or Complete entries. The interval must also be long enough to capture interval records, and more than one SMF interval to show resource consumption.
Information from the records is combined to show actual resources consumed during the interval.

| Type | The type of work JES2, STC, TSO, OMVS etc.(SMF30WID) |
| Sysplex | Sysplex (SMF30SYP) |
| System | The system that wrote the record |
| Status | Started, Ended, Running or Complete. Started: The job started during the interval and was still running at the end of the interval. Ended - The job was running at the start of the interval, and ended during the interval. Running - The job was running for the entire interval. Complete - The job started and ended during the interval. |
| Class | The class the job was running in. |
| Started | The time the initiator selected the job (SMF30STD + SMF30SIT) |

| Derived CPU | CPU time calculated from the TCB and SRB CPU service values. This provides a more accurate value than the CPU time fields from the SMF 30 record, which are rounded to 1/100th of a second. The value includes Normalized zAAP and zIIP time which means that the value will exceed the total of actual CP + zAAP + zIIP time if the zAAP/zIIP is faster than the regular CP. |

| zEDC Time | zEDC execution time (SMF30_US_ExecTime) |
| Enq Promoted Time | CPU time while enqueue promoted (SMF30CEPI) |
| Connect | I/O device connect time (SMF30TCN) |
| EXCP | I/O blocks transferred. (SMF30TEP or SMF30TEX) |
| Service | Total Service Units (SMF30SRV) |
| TCB | CPU Service Units (SMF30CSU) |
| SRB | SRB Service Units (SMF30SRB) |
| I/O | I/O Service Units (SMF30IO) |
| MSO | I/O Service Units (SMF30IO) |
| Pages In | Pages paged in from auxiliary storage (SMF30PGI + SMF30BIA) |
| Pages Out | Pages paged out to auxiliary storage (SMF30PGO + SMF30BOA) |
| VIO In | VIO pages paged in from auxiliary storage (SMF30VPI) |
| VIO Out | VIO pages paged out to auxiliary storage (SMF30VPO) |
| Common In | Common area (LPA and CSA) pages paged in (SMF30CPI) |
| Hiperspace In | Hiperspace pages paged in from auxiliary storage (SMF30HPI) |

| ΔUser < 16M | Change in maximum user virtual storage allocated below 16MB (SMF30URB)* |
| Max System < 16M | Maximum system virtual storage allocated below 16MB (SMF30ARB) |
| ΔSystem < 16M | Change in maximum system virtual storage allocated below 16MB (SMF30ARB)* |
| Max User > 16M | Maximum user virtual storage allocated above 16MB (SMF30EUR) |

| User Key Audit | User key common storage auditing was active for this address space. The data for User Key CSA, User Key CADS and User Key CHANGKEY is only valid if this column is set (checked). |
| User Key CSA | Attempts were made to obtain user key CSA storage. |
| User Key CADS | Attempts were made to create a user key CADS (Common Area Data Space) |
| User Key CHANGKEY | Attempts were made to change the key of ESQA storage to a user key. |

* Δ Delta (change) values show the difference between the values at the start and end of the interval. They are calculated from fields that show maximum values (high water marks). The delta value is calculated as follows:
-
If the job started during the interval, the starting value is 0. Otherwise, the starting value is the value from the first SMF record.
-
If the job ended during the interval, the ending value is 0.
-
The ending value is updated by interval records.
-
If a step ends, the ending value is set to 0. Interval records from subsequent steps can increase it again.
-
The change is the end value - start value. The value can be negative for jobs or steps that were running when the interval started.
If a job started and ended during the interval, the change is 0.
