5.2.12.3 Usage Considerations


This section identifies special considerations or techniques
related to using the TSOTSW file.  Additionally, retrieval
examples are provided to help you use this file.

Special Considerations and Techniques
-------------------------------------

1.  To activate the TSOTSW file, refer to data base file
    tailoring discussion in Chapter 6 of the CA MICS System
    Modification Guide.

2.  STARTTS and ENDTS in the MONTHS time-span bounds the span
    of time over which the data has been summarized.  STARTTS
    is the lowest date and time, and ENDTS is the highest
    date and time, for the data summarized.

    In the DETAIL time-span, STARTTS represents TSO/MON
    recording interval start time and ENDTS represents
    TSO/MON recording interval end time.


Retrieval Example
-----------------


In the examples, a SAS macro variable is used to specify the
DDname part of the CA MICS file name. These macro variables
are a standard part of CA MICS and are available for all
files. The macro variable name has the form &diiit, where d
is the database identifier, iii is the information area
name, and t is the timespan.  For the examples, a database
identifier of P is used.  The identifier is installation
dependent, so you should find out what the identifiers are at
your installation.

1.  List the Workload Manager Response Time Percentile values
    for the CLASS1 Service Class.

      %LET BY = WLMPOLCY WLMCLASS YEAR MONTH DAY;
      DATA FILE1;
      SET &TSOD..TSOTSW01;
      IF WLMCLASS=:'CLASS1';
      PROC SORT DATA=FILE1; BY &BY;
      PROC PRINT;
      VAR YEAR MONTH DAY HOUR WLMPOLCY WLMCLASS TSWGOLPC;
      BY &BY;
      RUN;
