3.2.1.1.2 Detail VMX Channel Busy Report

This report produces a tabular listing of channel activity by
CHPID for the duration of the period specified in the run-
time execution parameters.  The percent busy and the percent
of system values represent an average for the period covered
by report.

INTENDED USE:

   Allows analysis of CHPIDs that are being heavily used.
   Such a report might be used to detect channels that are
   being over-utilized or under-utilized, and to detect the
   proportionate share of all channel activity being handled
   by a given channel.

FORMAT:

   A tabular report in ascending order of CHPID, where each
   column represents a different measurement associated with
   a given CHPID.


   An example of this report is shown in Figure 3-4.

INQUIRY ID:

   Tabular Report:  VMXTX2

DATA SOURCE (File/Timespan):

   VMXCHC01 - DETAIL

DATA ELEMENTS USED:

   CHCHPID  - Channel Path ID
   VMXHFSAM - High Frequency Sample Count
   CHCPCBSY - Percent CHPID Busy

 CALCULATIONS:

   SYSBUSY, the percentage of all channel activity handled by
   a given channel, is obtained by adding up the summarized
   percent channel busy values for all CHPIDs, and placing
   this value in a temporary element named BUSYTOT.  The
   percentage workload held by each channel path is then
   computed as follows:

   SYSBUSY = CHCPCBSY / BUSYTOT*100;

USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:

   The Channel Path Contention Data File (VMXCHC) is created
   from the 0/09 monitor records.  With the introduction of
   z990 processor, the 0/09 no longer contains valid channel
   path information.  It is recommended that the 0/18 or 0/20
   monitor records be used for valid channel path
   information.
 
   See report VMXLS1 (VM Channel Path Load Analysis).
