2.4.7.1.2.2 Summary Exception Reports

The second portion of the summary level reports consists of
the Summary Exception Report, which is shown in Figure 2-134.
This report is produced only if two conditions are met:

  o  The user defines an exception limit.
  o  One or more time periods reported exceed this limit.

An exception limit of 0 causes all observations to print.

This report contains one or more subreports, one for each
time interval during which the exception limit was exceeded.
Each subreport is preceded by its own subheading containing
the following identifiers:

DATE
ANALYZED:    The date of this exception period.

TIME
ANALYZED:    The time of this exception period.


STANDARD ITEMS

The report contains the following standard items:

JOB ID:      The name of the job being analyzed.  Any
             hypothetical jobs added during the analysis will
             have their JOB ID begin with an asterisk (*).

READER       The date and time that the job was read into the
TIME STAMP:  system.

STEP NBR:    The number of the job step being analyzed.

PROGRAM      The name of the program being executed by this
NAME:        job step.

START
TIME STAMP:  The time that the job step began executing.

END
TIME STAMP:  The time that the job step ended its execution.

SYS ID:      The SYSID of the system in which the job step
             executed.

STEP ALLOC.  The amount of time the step waited for device
TIME:        allocation by MVS to complete.  This time
             represents periods when the step was eligible
             for execution, but required I/O devices (that
             is, DASD, tape, etc.)  were not yet allocated
             for its use.  This condition can affect the Tape
             Drive Simulation Analysis inquiry adversely.
             The Tape Drive Simulation Analysis inquiry
             assumes a device to be allocated from step start
             (data element STARTTS) to step end (data element
             ENDTS).

ADDED OR     The indication of whether the job step
MOVED:       represents actual work currently running at the
             time being reported (CURRENT), a workload
             hypothetically added (ADDED), or actual work
             that has been hypothetically moved to a
             different time interval (MOVED).

TAPE         The number of tape drives allocated by this job
DEVICES      step.  This always represents the number of tape
ALLOC.:      drives actually needed by the operating system
             for this job step as represented by the
             data element PGMMXNTA.

The standard items displayed are controlled by a panel
containing lists of data element names.  Any data element
from the CA MICS BATPGM type file is eligible for display. In
addition, the data elements JOBINQTM and JOBFETTM from the
BATJOB File are available.  Also, any user-computed data
elements are eligible for display.

OPTIONAL ELEMENTS

In addition to the standard items, the following optional
items are printed, depending on the inquiry fields specified.

If you choose JES Version 3 (main device scheduling) the
number of tape drives reserved by the allocation method is
calculated and reported.

HIGH WATER   The number of tape drives that would be
ALLOC.:      required by this job step if the high water mark
             option of JES3 Main Device Scheduling was
             enabled.  This value is computed in the Tape
             Drive Simulation Analysis inquiry in the data
             element HIGHWATR.

If the Analysis Method field specifies PRORATE and you choose
JES Version 2, then the number of tape drives used within an
interval is calculated and displayed.

TAPE DRIVES  The number of tape drives used by this job step
PRORATED     in the interval.  This number is the percentage
(MVS):       of tape drives prorated to the interval.  For
             example, let us assume an interval of 60 minutes
             and a step that executed for 45 minutes within
             the interval.  If the step had a PGMMXNTA value
             of  4, the resulting number of tape drives
             prorated to the interval/step combination would
             be 3 (4*(45/60)).  The element is computed in
             the Tape Drive Simulation Analysis inquiry in
             the data element PROTAPE.

If the Analysis Method field specifies PRORATE and you choose
JES Version 3, then, in addition to the above data elements,
the number of drives prorated to the interval for the step is
computed, substituting the number of drives reserved under
JES3 highwater marks allocation for the number allocated
under MVS.  A description follows:

TAPE DRIVES  The number of tape drives allocated or reserved
PRORATED     by the step within the interval.  This number is
(MDS):       a percentage computed by the Tape Drive
             Simulation Analysis inquiry in the data element
             PROHIGH.  It uses the methodology documented
             above, under TAPE DRIVES PRORATED (MVS),
             substituting the number of drives reserved or
             allocated as documented under the item HIGH
             WATER ALLOC for the number of drives allocated
             (PGMMXNTA).

Use of the USER Modeling exit causes additional data elements
to be displayed.  This exit provides a method of adjusting
step execution times based on user-supplied values.  The use
of this facility causes the following items to be displayed:

ORIGINAL     The unmodified end timestamp.  If any
END          adjustment to execution time is made in a
TIMESTAMP:   standard fashion, this element (ORGENDTS) is
             displayed.

If mount time adjustment is made, then, in addition to the
unmodified end timestamp, the following items are displayed:

REEL DEVICES The number of REEL tape devices allocated.  This
ALLOCATED:   element is computed as the total number of tape
             devices (PGMMXNTA) minus the number of CTRG
             devices (PGMN3480).

CTRG DEVICES The number of cartridge devices allocated
ALLOCATED:   (PGMN3480).

JOB
ADJUSTMENT   The running total of step adjustment time that
TIME:        has taken place in prior steps of the job.

SPECIFIED    The specified mount time value in seconds.
AVERAGE      This item is supplied to the Tape Drive
MOUNT TIME:  Simulation Analysis inquiry by the USER Modeling
             exit and causes the step's end timestamp to be
             adjusted.

TAPE         The sum of specific and non-specific tape mounts
MOUNTS:      as found in the BATPGM File data elements
             PGMSTMT and  PGMNSTMT.  These data elements are
             available at the MVS/SE2 levels and above.

COMPUTED     Tape mounts multiplied by the specified average
MOUNT TIME:  mount time.  This value is added to the end
             timestamp.  If the specified average mount time
             was negative, the computed mount time is
             negative as well.

If any tape connect time adjustment is made using the
documented features provided in the USER Modeling exit, then
the original connect time is displayed in addition to the
other elements.

ORIGINAL     The time the step tape drives were connected for
TAPE CONNECT the purpose of data transfer (PGMCTAPE).  This
TIME:        element is only available  in  MVS/XA  operating
             systems.

Connect time adjustment is done by a percent increase or
decrease, or by specification of an average I/O time.  The
percent method can only be used if connect time is available
(MVS/XA element).  Connect time and EXCPs are computed for
REEL devices as the total (PGMCTAPE and PGMETAPE) minus the
observed values of the CTRG counters (PGMC3480 and PGME3480).
Adjustment of connect time by device type can then proceed.
The following items are thus method (percent vs.  average I/O
time) and device (REEL vs.  CTRG) dependent.

ORIGINAL       These elements contain the unmodified connect
CONNECT TIME   time for each type of tape device.  When the
REEL DEVICES/  average I/O time method is used, the elements
ORIGINAL       are computed.  When the percent method is
CONNECT TIME   used, the REEL time is computed as the total
CTRG DEVICES:  tape device connect time minus the CTRG
               connect time.

SPECIFIED REEL These items represent the percentage
CONNECT %      adjustment factor supplied to the tape
ADJUSTMENT/    Drive Simulation Analysis inquiry via the
SPECIFIED CTRG USER Modeling exit for each device type.
CONNECT %      Adjustment factors are specified by the
ADJUSTMENT:    device type (REEL or CTRG) independently.
               This decimal factor is then multiplied by
               connect time to derive the adjustment amount.

SPECIFIED      These items represent the average I/O time to
AVERAGE REEL   complete one EXCP as supplied  to the Tape
I/O TIME/      Drive Analysis Simulation inquiry via the
SPECIFIED      USER Modeling exit.  These factors are
AVERAGE CTRG   specified by device type (REEL or CTRG).  The
I/O TIME:      EXCPs for the device type are multiplied by
               the factor to derive an adjustment amount.

REEL EXCPs/    These elements are displayed when the average
CTRG EXCPs:    I/O time method is used.  EXCPs for
               REEL devices are computed as the total tape
               EXCPs (PGMETAPE) minus the CTRG EXCPs
               (PGME3480).  When the average I/O time method
               is used, EXCPs by device type are multiplied
               by the supplied times.


ADJUSTED
CONNECT TIME-
REEL DEVICES/ These  elements are displayed when connect time
ADJUSTED      adjustment has occurred for the device times,
CONNECT TIME- and contain the amount of time to adjust the
CTRG DEVICES: end timestamp of a step.
