5.2.13 CF Configuration and Activity File (HARCFP)



The CF Configuration and Activity File is used to store
information about the coupling facility (CF), including name,
the amount of storage installed and used, and the number and
utilization of processors.  The file also contains
information describing the hardware paths to and from the CF
and the system that recorded the data and the Cross-System
Extended Services (XES) request activity through the CF.  You
can use this information to analyze high-level coupling
facility activity for performance analysis and capacity
planning.
 
The information in the HARCFP file is obtained from the local
CF, storage, and processor data sections of the SMF type 74
subtype 4 record written by RMF Monitor III.

The following sections describe the file's organization, list
the data elements maintained, and provide usage hints.
