3.4.3 MVS APPC TP Activity (SMFEX3)




The MVS APPC TP Activity inquiry produces a CSV file that can
be used to plot eight, three-dimensional area charts per
system/date/program combination using CA MICS Reporting.
These charts provide a comparison of the services received by
the APPC programs in your system.

The measurements of interest are:

   o  Step TCB and SRB CPU Time by Interval Time
   o  Total Device Connect Time by Interval Time
   o  Total EXCPS by Interval Time
   o  Avg Working Set Size by Interval Time
   o  Page Seconds by Interval Time
   o  Address Space Swap Sequence by Interval Time
   o  System Abends by Interval Time
   o  User Abends by Interval Time

INQUIRY ID:

     SMFEX3

DATA SOURCE (file/timespan):

     BAT_TP at the DETAIL timespan

OUTPUT CONTROL PARAMETER:
     K4D8 (Four key columns, eight, 3-dimensional area charts
     per system/date/program)

DATA ELEMENTS USED:

     SYSID    - System Identifier
     DATE     - Date
     PROGRAM  - Program Name
     CTIME    - Time
     PGMCPUTM - Step TCB+SRB CPU Time
     PGMCNTT  - Device Connect Time Total
     PGMEXCPS - Total EXCPS
     PGMAVWSS - Avg Working Set Size
     PGMPGSEC - Pages Seconds
     PGMSWAPS - Address Space Swap Sequences
     PGMSYSAB - System Abends
     PGMUSRAB - User Abends
     PGMCOUNT - Program Steps Encountered
     PGMIOITM - I/O Interrupt CPU Time
     PGMRCTTM - Region Control Task CPU Time
     PGMHIPTM - Hiperspace CPU Time
     PGMPGSWI - Pages Swapped In
     PGMPGSWO - Pages Swapped Out

   CALCULATIONS:

     DATE = MDY(MONTH,DAY,%YEAR4);
     TIME = TIMEPART(ENDTS);
     CTIME = PUT(TIME,HHMM.);

USAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
     Not applicable


EXECUTION-TIME PARAMETERS:
     Execution-time parameters enable you to produce a CSV
     file containing just the information you want.  This
     reduces the:

     o  Amount of data extracted
     o  Network traffic during download

     as well as makes the presentation more effective.

Enter one or more Database IDs for the Databases you want to
process.

-- Required.  Specify database unit IDs (the IDs of the
   CA MICS database units from which files are read).  To
   display a selection list of valid database unit IDs,
   specify ? (question mark).

Enter range of CA MICS online file cycles or enter ARCHIVE
for archive files.

-- Required.  These are the cycles of the specified timespan
   for the CA MICS files that are used as input to the
   analysis.  You can specify a range of cycles in either
   ascending or descending order (for example, 01-03 or
   03-01).  The fields can contain any numeric value between
   0 and 99, or "ARCHIVE" for archive files.

Enter the program names to be reported or leave blank for
all.

-- Optional.  Specify one or more 1-8 character program names
   (PROGRAM).  Observations whose PROGRAM value is equal to
   any of the specified values are selected.  If omitted, all
   the program names will be included in the output.

Enter the SYSIDs to be reported or leave blank to report all
systems.

-- Optional.  Specify one or more 1-4 character SYSID values.
   Observations whose SYSID value is equal to any of the
   specified values are selected.  If not specified, all are
   selected.

Enter the reporting interval in minutes or leave blank for
detail report.

-- Optional.  Defaults to 15 minutes.  Specify one of the
   following:   15, 30, or 60 minutes.  The data is grouped
   based on the specified interval using End Timestamp
   (ENDTS).  If omitted, the detail report is produced.

Enter the range of dates (DDMMMYY) to be reported or leave
blank for all.

-- Optional.  Specify the date range in DDMMMYY format (for
   example, 01OCT96).  The first date range is the starting
   date and the last value in each date range is the ending
   date.  The ending date must be higher than, or equal to
   the starting date.  An input observation is selected if
   its date value is greater than or equal to the starting
   date and is less than or equal to the ending date of the
   specified date range.  If only one value is specified, an
   observation is selected if its date value is equal to the
   specified value.

Enter the range of hours to be reported or leave blank to
report all.

-- Optional.  The first value is the starting hour and the
   last is the ending hour.  The ending hour must be higher
   than, or equal to the starting hour.  An input observation
   is selected if its hour value is greater than or equal to
   the starting hour and is less than or equal to the ending
   hour of the specified date range.  If only one value is
   specified, an observation is selected if its hour value is
   equal to the specified value.
