Solution in IZPCA to provide information based on SMF_121

Hello,

Currently I don't see any solution in IZPCA providing information based on SMF_121.
Could you please confirm if you have been working in some solution to provide information using SMF_121 or planning something on that?

Thank you!

    In a nutshell (as an observer with the idea), z/OS application performance analysis is definitely a priority for JAVA RUNTIME environments, to include subtype 1 event-activity for 1) JAVA RUNTIME STATISTICS, also 2) JAVA RUNTIME GARBAGE COLLECTION), and also 3) JAVA RUNTIME THREADS -- calling for three separate IzPCA database tables with the various identification-fields/columns and also performance metrics.

    For more direction and/or reference information, please do look at the IBM SMF manual, type 121 for "Java runtime performance statistics" - z/OS V2R4 link: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=sr-record-type-121-x79-java-runtime-performance-statistics
