5.3.5 IDMS System Activity File (IDMSSY)

The IDMS System Activity File contains resource consumption;
service (short, medium, long, user, excessive, and
conversational response); availability; and performance
measurements that quantify the load, utilization, and
response of IDMS systems.  The DETAIL time-span contains
observations based upon the time intervals specified by the
INTERVAL statement in the IDMOPS member you created during
component installation or tailoring.
 
By default, the IDMSSY file is derived from SMF record type
230.  If the CA-IDMS Performance Monitor at your installation
writes its output data to a different SMF record type, the
file is derived from the SMF record type specified by the
SMFTYPE statement in prefix.MICS.PARMS(IDMOPS).

The following sections describe the file's organization, list
the data elements maintained, and provide usage hints and
retrieval examples.
