5.3.4.3 Usage Considerations
Special considerations or techniques related to using the
SCPENQ file are provided below.
1. The following data elements in the SCPENQ file have
meaning only in the DETAIL timespan; they lose
significance once summarization has been performed.
These data elements should only be referenced when using
the SCPENQnn file in the DETAIL timespan.
ENQFG1 - Enqueue Status Indicator
ENQJW1ST - Job 1 Wait Status
ENQJW2ST - Job 2 Wait Status
ENQJO1ST - Job 1 Owner Status
ENQJO2ST - Job 2 Owner Status
ENQCONST - Resource Contention Status
ENQDO1 - Job Name 1 of Current Resource Owner
ENQDO2 - Job Name 2 of Current Resource Owner
ENQDW1 - Job Name 1 Waiting for Resource
ENQDW2 - Job Name 2 Waiting for Resource
ENQSCOPE - System Scope Status
ENQRHEX - Hex Minor Name Expanded
2. In some cases the ENQRNM data element provides an
interpretation of the minor resource field when the field
is an encoded binary value.
The ENQRNM data element is built to interpret the ASID
contained in the minor resource field for the following
major resource names, so that the ENQRNM element equals
'ASID=hhhh':
SYSZIGGI, SYSZTIOT, or SYSSJWTP
The ENQRNM data element is built to interpret the
relative block address (RBA) contained in the minor
resource field for the following major resource names, so
the ENQRNM element equals 'RBA=hhhhhh':
SYSIKJBC
The ENQRNM data element is built to interpret the catalog
auxiliary work area (CAXWA) contained in the minor
resource field, for the following major resource names,
so the ENQRNM element equals 'CAXWA=hhhhhhhh':
SYSZRPLW, IEZIGGV3, or SYSZCAXW
The ENQRNM data element is built to interpret the unit
control block address (UCBADDR) contained in the minor
resource field for the following major resource names so
that the ENQRNM element equals 'UCBADDR=hhhhhhhh':
SYSZUSRL or SYSZVMV
For major resource names other than those specified
above, hexadecimal and special characters other than . -
$ are set to blank to alleviate unprintable characters
being encoded in the ENQRNM field.
3. Care must be exercised in using the special date and time
data elements contained in each CA MICS file. As the
file's granularity increases in higher timespans, certain
fields lose significance; they should not be used in
those cases.
o DAY and DAYNAME should not be used in WEEKS.
4. ENDTS and STARTTS, when appearing in the DAYS, WEEKS, or
MONTHS timespans, bound 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. These data elements have different meanings
when used in the DETAIL timespan versus the DAYS, WEEKS,
and MONTHS timespans. Their purpose in DETAIL is
described below:
o STARTTS represents RMF recording interval start time.
o ENDTS represents RMF recording interval end time.
