Coupling facility manager SMDS data records

Use this topic as a reference to the format of the coupling facility manager shared message data set (SMDS) data records.

The format of the coupling facility manager shared message data set (SMDS) statistics record is described in assembler macro thlqual.SCSQMACS(CSQDQESD), C header file thlqual.SCSQC370(CSQDSMFC) and in IBM MQ SupportPac MP1B.

The statistics provide information about the utilization of the owned shared message data set, I/O activity for the group of shared message data sets, and SMDS buffer utilization.

If the queue manager was not started as a member of a queue sharing group, no data is recorded in this record.
