5.2.14.3 BATOEP Usage Considerations

Special considerations or techniques related to using the
BATOEP file are provided below.

1.  The identity of the Open Edition/MVS process is uniquely
    determined by the following:

    OEPPID      - OE/MVS Process ID 00406160
    OEPGID      - OE/MVS Process Group ID 00406170
    OEPUID      - OE/MVS Process User ID 00406180
    OEPUGID     - OE/MVS Process User Group ID 00406190
    OEPSID      - OE/MVS Process Session ID 00406200
    OEPPPID     - OE/MVS Parent Process ID 00406210

2.  Because the source for BATOEP observations is SMF type 30
    step or interval records, there is a partner observation
    in one of the CA MICS step-level files (BATPGM, BAT_TS,
    BAT_ST, BAT_TP, BAT_OE).  The following data elements
    allow you to uniquely identify the CA MICS step-level
    partner observation:

    ENDTS       - End Time Stamp
    STARTTS     - Start Time Stamp
    RDRTS       - Reader Time Stamp
    JOB         - Job Name
    STEPNUM     - Step Number
    SUBSTEP     - Substep Number
    JESJOBNO    - JES Job Number
    PROGRAM     - Program Name
    PROGRAML    - Long Program Name (OE/MVS)
    PROGRMLT    - Long Program Name Type (OE/MVS)
    PGMINTVL    - Interval Measurement Type
    PGMTYPE     - Program Execution Type (Batch, TSO, STC,
                  etc.)

    Note that PGMTYPE in the BATOEP file directs you to the
    appropriate CA MICS step-level database file:

    PGMTYPE=1   - BATPGM (Batch)
    PGMTYPE=2   - BAT_TS (TSO)
    PGMTYPE=3   - BAT_ST (Started Task)
    PGMTYPE=4   - BAT_TP (APPC/MVS TP)
    PGMTYPE=5   - BAT_OE (Open Edition/MVS)

3.  The BATOEP usage measurements consist of the CPU time
    used by the Open Edition/MVS process as well as various
    Open Edition/MVS resource utilization metrics.

4.  The STARTTS and ENDTS values in DETAIL timespan BATOEP
    file observations are identical to the same data element
    values in the partner step level database observation.
    They represent the start and end of the step or interval
    record that contained the usage data.
