Source: ACS Test Case Library
ACS Testing Output Report File
Function: This facility analyzes the results of the ACS
routine testing process to make sure your ACS
routines are working correctly. Another CA MICS
StorageMate facility, the ACS Test Case Creation
facility, is used to build a library of ACS test
cases from your CA MICS data. That library is read
by the ISMF ACS Test Facility, and each test case
is passed to your production/test ACS Routine(s).
The test results are written by ISMF to a report
output file. This facility reads both the test
case library and the testing output file, merges
them, and provides a number of reports useful in
evaluating the operation of the ACS routines.
The owner report produces a consolidated analysis
of the operation of all four ACS routines,
summarized by the application associated with each
of the test case data sets. This provides an
excellent method of cross-referencing the operation
of all ACS routines, making sure they will operate
correctly with each different application's data.
Further information about the use of the ACS Test
Facility is available in the facility instructions
at the end of this section.
Features: Options allow you to restrict reporting to only
those ACS routines specified. For example, when
executing the ISMF Test Facility you can specify
that all four types of ACS routines be executed
(Storage Class, Management Class, Data Class,
Storage Group), but when running reports you can
only be interested in results of the Data Class
routine.
Up to eight different reports can be generated by
this facility, each showing a different view of the
test results, or showing a different summarization.
The reports can be selected in any combination.
The application value for each data set is set when
the test cases are built by the ACS Test Case
Creation facility within CA MICS StorageMate.
Options include application assignment based on one
or more nodes of the data set name, one or more of
the CA MICS accounting fields, or using a
user-defined table that associates data set
prefixes with an application name.
SMS
Issues: An important phase of any SMS conversion project is
making sure your ACS routines are operating
correctly and achieving their desired results.
This problem is no less critical after SMS
conversion, as regular maintenance to the ACS
routines will still be necessary. Because of their
critical nature, accuracy of ACS routines is just
as important as the accuracy of any system exit.
Because most ACS routines will probably be written
to assign critical classes to only selected
applications, this report will be useful in
ensuring those assignments are working correctly.
COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS
SYSID
This value appears at the top of each page and
identifies the system to which this data applies.
The System Identifier (SYSID) is copied from the
CA MICS data used in creating the test cases.
Owner
Identifies the application or owner of the data
sets in this group. This value is assigned to each
data set when the test cases are created by the ACS
Test Case Creation facility of CA MICS StorageMate.
Refer to that facility for details about options
for establishing data set ownership. All of the
values in this report will apply to the data sets
that were assigned to this particular owner.
Storage Class Name
The name of the class assigned to the data sets in
this group by the storage class ACS routine. Note
that a summary line will appear for each unique
combination of storage class, management class,
data class, and storage group. The report groups
are sorted based on the number of data sets
assigned to each.
Manage. Class Name
The name of the class assigned to the data sets in
this group by the management class ACS routine.
Note that a summary line will appear for each
unique combination of storage class, management
class, data class, and storage group. The report
groups are sorted based on the number of data sets
assigned to each.
Storage Group Name
The name of the group assigned to the data sets in
this group by the storage group ACS routine. Note
that a summary line will appear for each unique
combination of storage class, management class,
data class, and storage group. The report groups
are sorted based on the number of data sets
assigned to each.
Data Class Name
The name of the class assigned to the data sets in
this group by the data class ACS routine. Note
that a summary line will appear for each unique
combination of storage class, management class,
data class, and storage group. The report groups
are sorted based on the number of data sets
assigned to each.
Number of Data Sets
A numeric value indicating the number of this
owner's data sets assigned by the ACS routines to
the classes and groups identified.
Percent of Owner Data Sets
The percentage of all data sets belonging to this
owner that were assigned to this particular
combination of classes and groups.
Space Allocated M-Bytes
The amount of space, reported in megabytes, that is
being allocated by the data sets that were assigned
to this particular combination of classes and
groups. This value is calculated using data set
allocation statistics extracted from CA MICS at the
time the test cases were created.
Percent of Owner Megabytes
Based on the total megabytes allocated by all the
data sets belonging to this owner, the percentage
of that space allocated by the data sets assigned
to this particular combination of classes and
groups.
