EasySMF for z/OS

The architecture of EasySMF for z/OS comprises several key components. The 'SMF Data Extractor' module retrieves SMF records from the z/OS system via TCP/IP. The 'Data Transformation Engine' processes and filters the extracted data based on user-defined criteria.

The 'Reporting Module' generates reports and provides data visualization capabilities. These components communicate through a message queue, ensuring asynchronous processing. The system utilizes a relational database, such as Microsoft SQL Server, for storing processed SMF data and report metadata.

Network requirements include a stable TCP/IP connection between the Windows server and the z/OS system, typically using port 21 for FTP or a custom port for the API. The system also requires access to the database server. The software's design emphasizes modularity and scalability, allowing for efficient processing of large volumes of SMF data.

The architecture supports high availability through redundant components.
