For business requirements, there is a need to collect systemwide statistics on production MUF environments. These statistics can be invaluable tools in measuring performance, detecting growth situations, debugging problems, and performance tuning.
Having good baseline statistics provides you with the ability to note changes and evaluate effects of new applications, new hardware, new operating systems, and even new versions of CA Datacom.
CA Datacom provides a wealth of information through the Dynamic Systems Tables (DST) interface. This information is real-time information. In many cases, it is the same information that can be found in reports and screens throughout the CA Datacom environment.
The strength of the DSTs lies with the availability of MUF environmental and statistical data available real-time as a set of SQL accessible tables. This data is readily accessible anytime the MUF is enabled. The weakness to DSTs is that the data is not persistent and is lost when a given MUF ends. Also since the data is always accumulating, there is no way to go back in time to see a particular DST data value.
