5.3.1.3 VMXSCF Usage Considerations


The VMXSCF File is a spin file that contains one observation
per set of monitor initialization data read (CP MONITOR START
command issued).  Only one cycle exists in the detail time
span.  This file contains observations from several runs of
the DAILY job.  Each cycle is identified by the element
VMXAGE.  VMXAGE is 1 for the current cycle, 2 for the
previous cycle, etc.  The VMXAGE element can be used to match
a particular VMXSCF observation with a cycle of the VMXSGP
file.
