Histogram Report

Overview

Histograms show statistical data for events (for example, program loads into the program pool) in terms of frequency of occurrence within predefined value ranges (for example, number of program loads smaller than 250 bytes, between 250 to 500 bytes, and so on).

Note: For a detailed discussion of histogram categories, classes, default values, and the #HSTDEF macro that overrides default values, see CA IDMS System Operations Guide.

When Statistics Are Written to Log

Like system statistics, histograms are written to the DC/UCF log file at the following times:

Summary of Histogram Record Subtypes

SREPORT 001, IDMS Statistics-Histogram Report, produces a histogram for each of 25 histogram record subtypes. The following Histogram Records table lists each histogram record subtype by identifier and descriptor.
