1.4 Files Overview


The CA MICS TSO Analyzer builds the TSO Information Area from
the TSO/MON System records (SMF type 200) and Command records
(SMF type 199), where

  System records provide system and user-level statistics

  Command records provide information on the performance and
  required resources of individual commands

The files in the TSO Information area are listed below.

TSO Data Set Name File (TSOTSA)

  The TSOTSA file provides a log of data sets (and members of
  partitioned data sets) accessed under selected functions.
  This file is derived from the TSO/MON command record.

TSO System Activity File (TSOTSO)

   The TSOTSO file quantifies the activity of all TSO users
   for defined time intervals.  It contains resource
   consumption, service (total, short, medium, and long
   response), availability, and performance measurement
   information.  The TSOTSO file is derived from the TSO/MON
   system record, SCB and UCB segments.

TSO Terminal Activity File (TSO_TA)

   The TSO_TA file quantifies the VTAM/TCAM terminal service
   (response), load, and access for defined time intervals.
   The TSO_TA file is derived from the TSOTSU detail file.

TSO User Activity File (TSOTSU)

   The TSOTSU file quantifies the total activity of a TSO
   user ID for defined time intervals.  It contains resource
   consumption, service (total, short, medium, and long
   response) terminal access, and performance measurement
   information.  The TSOTSU file is derived from the TSO/MON
   system record, UCB segments.

TSO User Command Counts File (TSOTSC)

   The TSOTSC file identifies TSO commands and subcommands
   used by a specific user ID.  This file is derived from the
   TSO/MON system record, UCB and CCB segments.

TSO User Interactive Usage File (TSOTSI)

   The TSOTSI file quantifies the resource consumption and
   use of installation-defined commands and programs executed
   interactively under TSO.  This file is derived from the
   TSO/MON command record.

TSO Batch User Command Counts File (TSO_BC)

   The TSO_BC file identifies TSO commands and subcommands
   used by a specific batch TSO job.  This file is derived
   from the TSO/MON system record, UCB and CCB segments.

TSO Batch Data Set Name File (TSO_BD)

   The TSO_BD file provides a log of data sets (and members
   of partitioned data sets) accessed under selected
   functions during the execution of a batch TSO job.  This
   file is derived from the TSO/MON command record.

TSO Batch Command Information File (TSO_BI)

   The TSO_BI file quantifies the resource consumption and
   use of installation-defined commands and programs executed
   by batch TSO jobs.  This file is derived from the TSO/MON
   command record.

TSO Batch User Activity File (TSO_BU)

   The TSO_BU file quantifies the total activity of a batch
   TSO job for defined intervals of time.  It contains
   resource consumption, service (total, short, medium, and
   long response), and performance measurement information.
   The TSO_BU file is derived from the TSO/MON system record,
   UCB segments.

TSO Dynamic Resource Usage File (TSODRU)

   The TSODRU file quantifies the resource consumption and
   use of all commands and programs executed interactively
   under TSO.  This file is derived from the TSO/MON system
   record, DRU segments.

TSO Workload Manager File (TSOTSW)

   The TSOTSW file quantifies MVS/ESA SP 5.1 Workload Manager
   information when the Workload Manager is operating in goal
   mode.  It is derived from the TSO/MON system record, WSCB
   segments.

Information Area.
