2.2.7 Component Operation
This Component Operation Section describes the operation of
the Real Storage Analysis routines in terms of the CA MICS
Performance Manager inquiry options selected.
Inquiry options available with the Real Storage Analysis
software describe the reports to be generated. In
particular, these options define:
o The cycles from the CA MICS RMF or SMF files to be
processed.
o Workload selection by system, workload group, date/time,
and zone.
o The summarization level of the reports as hourly, daily,
weekly, or monthly. The availability of each
summarization level assumes that your system supports the
required files at each level.
o The reports and plots to be produced.
The following fields are common to most control panels:
Timespan: The timespan (DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, or MONTHS)
in the CA MICS files you want to use as input
for processing.
Cycles: The one or more cycles from the CA MICS database
that you want to use for analysis. Because SMF
data sets are not normally dumped at exactly
midnight at most installations, a CYCLE from the
CA MICS database will usually contain a 24-hour
period spanning two days. Therefore, some other
type of selection may be required to generate a
daily report. This selection capability is
provided by the DATE and HOUR control options.
Database: The single-character CA MICS identifier for the
database to be accessed. Valid values are the
database unit identifiers available at your
installation. Contact your system administrator
if you do not know what database units are
available, or enter a question mark (?) to view
a list of your database units. You can select
up to five databases per inquiry.
Allow The indication of whether the database
Runtime identifier and/or the cycles specification can
Override: be overridden at execution time.
Report by The indication of whether a report or plot
hour: should be generated for each hour.
Generate a The indication of whether a separate report or
report for plot should be generated for each zone defined
each value in the input data or whether all zones should
of Zone: be merged together for the report or plot.
Date: Up to two date ranges (DDMONYY format) to be
used for analysis. This option is normally used
to drop the extra day from a cycle caused by the
timing of the SMF dump.
Hour: One to three ranges of hours for which data is
to be reported. For an individual hour, leave
the end hour blank or make it the same as the
start hour. You can specify a value from 00 to
23.
Zone: The specification that zone selection is to be
applied. If zone 1 definition is 8:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m., you can specify reports covering that
time period by entering a 1 in the ZONE field.
SYSID: The specification that SYSIDs are to be selected
for reporting. You can enter up to six SYSIDs
to be selected. If you leave the field blank,
no testing of SYSIDs will be done.
SVC Class: The WLM Service Classes to be selected for
reporting. If you code this field, only those
specified will be selected.
SVC Cls. Pd: The WLM Service Class Periods to be selected
for reporting. If you code this field, only
those specified will be selected.
Job Name: The specific JOBNAMEs to be reported. If you
code this field, only those specified will be
selected.
Workload The type of workload to be reported (such as
Type: Performance Group, Domain).
Workload The type of file that will be used for reporting
Input (such as Batch Program, TSO file, or Started
File: Task file).
Specify The specification that allows you to supply
extended additional report specifications. These options
options: include special SAS data selection statements,
non-standard input and output files, and special
graphics options.
The operation of the time selection control parameters
depends on definitions made during the installation of the
CA MICS system. If you are not sure about the ZONE
definitions for your site or the CA MICS database update
procedures, ask your system administrator.
Figure 2-58 shows the Real Storage Management (RSM) Analysis
menu that you use to select the desired report or plot within
the RSM reporting area.
