SPECIAL Reports

The SPECIAL Reports provide key information with which to monitor and control the database environment. There are two SPECIAL Reports:

Each report presents a different perspective from which to identify and correct performance problems and system abuses.

The CHRONOLOGICAL EVENT Report outlines all recorded activity in a time wise sequence. You can visualize all run unit events within selected time intervals. Each event (BGIN, COMT, ENDJ, and ABRT) is reported with a time stamp and the current quiesce level. The termination of each recovery unit (COMT, ENDJ, and ABRT) is accompanied by totals of critical resource consumption, and all ABRTs are flagged. Periods of inactivity or with no posted events are also highlighted on the report.

The ABORT COINCIDENCE Report provides a daily analysis of all aborted run units in two parts.

The first part of the analysis lists all programs executing concurrently with an aborted program along with their coincidence ratios. The second part of the analysis relates the coincident programs with the programs which aborted whenever the coincident programs were active.

Note: The coincidence of the RHDCRUAL program is automatically eliminated by CA IDMS Journal Analyzer (one or more RHDCRUAL run units will always be coincident) to eliminate unnecessary skewing. CA IDMS Journal Analyzer automatically sets the periodic time interval values to report
