2.3.5.2 Inquiry Composition


Figures 2-72 through 2-116 detail the options that we
provided to the Auxiliary Storage Management inquiry panels.
These options are discussed in the paragraphs below.

The SYSID selection parameter limits the reports to the
system under study.  We selected Zone 1 (prime time) because
this system runs TSO and some online DBMS applications during
the day and mostly production batch at night.  Thus, the
heavy paging and swapping load comes during prime time.

The entries in the ASM Page/Swap Response Time Report inquiry
panel in Figure 2-72 produce the report shown in Figure 2-25,
which summarizes the old configuration.  Each cycle in the
WEEKS timespan is one week, thus a report covering 10-14
weeks ago is produced by these statements.
