z/OS Job/Task Level CSA/ECSA/SQA/ESQA/PVT/EPVT usage

Currently SMF Type30 record does not have any field that shows job or task level CSA, ECSA, SQA, ESQA, Private and e-Private usage. These metrics are only available at LPAR level which is not helpful to trouble shoot or monitoring these metrics. Recently we observed increase in LPAR ECSA usage in our environment after an Application release but we are not able to debug which task is causing this and this has led us to create this RFE as per the request of our management. currently real-time monitors like Mainview is providing this capability at 1 minute intervals and is using RMF. We need these metrics in SMF record (preferably in type30 as this is where all Job level metrics are) so that we can compare tasks common storage before and after of either system or application changes. Please let me know if you need any other information.

    This type of ECSA/CSA detail data (at the task level) is applicable across all IBM customer accounts, in addition to the banking segment.

    RMF Monitor III and the Landmark product TMON also provide this information at 1-minute granularity, in addition to Mainview.
