3.1.1.4 Replacing the TSO/MON Summary Subsystem


The CA MICS TSO Summary Reports can replace the TSO/MON
Summary Subsystem.  This eliminates the need to operate both
the CA MICS Data Base and the TSO/MON TSO Utilization File
(TUF) updates.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CA MICS TSO SUMMARY REPORTS AND THE
TSO/MON SUMMARY REPORT SUBSYSTEM

The following summarizes the major differences between the
CA MICS TSO Summary Reports and the TSO/MON Summary Report
Subsystem:

    o  CA MICS zone processing supports up to nine zones.

    o  CA MICS performs all calculations using double
       precision floating point arithmetic rather than fixed
       point.

    o  In order to operate from the CA MICS Data Base, there
       are some changes in the report options control
       statement and abbreviations.

    o  The CA MICS reports can only be one page long, which
       restricts the number of short, medium, and long
       response distribution values that the reports display.

    o  Because the SAS implementation requires two sorts to
       produce each of the TSO System Summary and User/Group
       Summary Reports, report generation will require more
       processing time when you request a large number of
       userids.

    o  Two elements from the TSO/MON reports, the number of
       TSO/MON start ups and the number of TSO/MON ABENDs,
       are not available on the CA MICS reports.

    o  Time zones must start on an hour.


TSO PERFORMANCE STATISTICS

This section details the procedures you must follow to use
the TSO Summary Reports.

You should generate a TSO System Summary Report for the
previous four months.  To ensure consistent reporting of
data, the report should cover your prime shift TSO usage and
report the TSO response distributions for two seconds and
five seconds.

If you are using the default TSO/MON distribution values and
ZONE 1 is your primary TSO service period, no options are
required to produce the required report.  The following
statement:

     SYSTEM=Y

is all you need to supply.

If your prime TSO service period is not defined by ZONE 1, or
the two and five second distribution values are not the first
two defined by TSO/MON, you must explicitly specify these
parameters.  The following statements illustrate how this is
done:

     SYSTEM=Y SHORT=2,5 MEDIUM=2,5 LONG=2,5

     SYSTEM=Y SHORT=2,5 MEDIUM=2,5 LONG=2,5 /
        ZONE1=Y ZONE2=Y ZONEADD=Y
