5.3.6 IDMS User Activity File (IDMSUA)

The IDMS User 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.  These measurements can be used for
analyzing user trends, user productivity under IDMS, and
managing the use of IDMS resources at the user level.
Individual task executions are contained in the DETAIL
time-span and summarized in the higher time spans.  This file
is sequenced and summarized by the IDMS Component account
fields as defined by the installation.

By default, the IDMSUA 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.
