00204: Hourly TSO Medium Service Objective Missed

FILE              TSO System Activity File
SAS FILE NAME     DAYS.TSOTSO01
SOURCE LOCATION   sharedprefix.MICS.SOURCE(DYTSOEXC)

SEVERITY          Critical      (SEVERITY='C')
MANAGEMENT AREA   Service       (MGMTAREA='SERVICE')

PURPOSE      Identifies the hours when TSO users' response
             time did not meet the installation defined
             nontrivial response service objective.

RATIONALE    An installation can set a service objective for
             all users as a percent of all nontrivial
             responses which will be completed within a
             certain time.  Setting the service objective
             this way recognizes the importance of
             consistency of response, which is not reflected
             in an average.

DEFINITION   This exception is detected when average user
             nontrivial response for an hour falls below the
             installation objective.

MODIFICATION  define the installation service objective (the
              percent of responses within a certain number of
              seconds), according to the following
              conventions:

    seconds     The number of seconds in the service
                objective is specified.  An objective of five
                seconds would appear as:

                   SECONDS = 5

    percent     The target percentage that is associated with
                the seconds given above (e.g., 90% within
                five seconds) would appear as:

                   OBJECT = 90

    number-of-responses  The minimum number of medium
                         response events for which this
                         exception is to be considered would
                         appear as:

                            EVENTS = 20
