The MQ SMF type 115 records can contain a large number of queue names and associated metrics, which generates the JSON output large and potentially difficult to handle. An optional parameter in the "SELECT" statement for SMF 115 records is provided to allow data from subtype 216 records to be written into multiple JSON records with a single queue name and metrics in each. This is facilitated by using the standard DATA_FORMAT parameter.
The default of DATA_FORMAT":"115,0 will write one large record per SMF 115 subtype 216.
Setting DATA_FORMAT":"115,1 will write one smaller record for each queue name in each SMF 115 subtype 216.
Message SDF0198I will be written to confirm that the DATA_FORMAT parameter only applies to this subtype:
