6.4 CPU Time Measurements

The CPU is one of the most expensive and constrained
resources at the I/S facility.  It is important to clearly
understand the various CPU time measurements in order to be
able to effectively manage this important resource.

The CA MICS Batch and Operations Analyzer provides a number
of CPU time measurement elements in the Batch Information
Area files.  This section will help you to understand how
they are captured and what they represent.
