This Component Operation Section describes the online inquiry
panels required for the operation of FICON Channel
Performance Analysis routines.
Entries in the online inquiry panels define the types of
reports to be generated. In particular, these panels define:
o The cycles from the CA MICS HARCPU, HARPCA, SCPIOC and
HARDVA files to be processed.
o The type of report(s) to be produced.
The FICON Channel Performance Analysis reports provided are:
o Processor Complex & Channel Configuration Report -
Describes the configuration under study, in terms of
Processor Complexes (CECs), LPARs and Channels.
o Channel Resource Usage Summary Report - Reports the
resources used and performance observed for each
channel selected for study, subsetting the measurement
data by LPAR.
o Channel Resource Usage Detail Report - Reports the
individual resource usage and performance observed for
each selected channel by RMF measurement interval.
Additionally, graphs of both Open Exchanges and Credits,
together with Channel Service Times can be optionally
produced, subject to the data selection criteria below.
The following options are common to both control panels:
Cycle(s): One or more cycles of the CA MICS files
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. Hence, some other
type of selection may be required to generate a
daily report. This selection capability is
provided by the DATE and HOUR 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 CA MICS 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
Run-Time identifier and/or the Cycles specification can
Override: be overridden at inquiry execution time.
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 that is due
to 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.
CEC Serial: The specification that processor complexes are
to be selected for reporting. You can enter up
to six CEC Serial Numbers to be selected. If
you leave the field blank, no testing of
processor complexes will be done.
Channels: The specification that FICON channels are to be
selected for reporting. You can enter up to
eight channel id numbers to be selected. The
channel ids are entered as 2 digit hexadecimal
values, with a range of 00 to ff. If you leave
the field blank, no testing of channels will be
done.
The operation of the zone and time selection options depends
on definitions made during the installation of the CA MICS
system. If you are not sure about the ZONE definitions for
your installation or the CA MICS database update procedures,
consult your CA MICS System Administrator.
