2.5.6.5 VSM Private Storage Usage Plot


The VSM Private Storage Usage Plot details the use of virtual
storage by individual jobs.  It can be generated for the
DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, or MONTHS timespans if they are present
in your CA MICS database. Note that the VSM Private Storage
Usage Plot obtains its data from the SCPVSU File.  If you are
unsure of the timespans supported at your installation,
consult your CA MICS System Administrator.

The VSM Private Storage Usage Plot is produced using a series
of six panels.  Only the first panel is required.  The others
are used to specify additional options that are normally
defaulted.

Figure 2-189 shows a VSM Private Storage System Usage Plot
inquiry panel.  The fields common to all VSM Analysis
routines are described in Section 2.5.6. The following are
general comments on this panel.

In addition to the timespan qualifier, you have the option
of selecting summaries by ZONE and HOUR.  Summarization to
the ZONE level can be done for any timespan.   Summarization
by HOUR can be done if you are using the DAYS or WEEKS
timespans.   Summarization can be specified with the Plot by
hour and the Generate a plot for each value of Zone options.

If you specify the DAYS timespan and summarization by HOUR,
and if you request multiple cycles, a separate plot is
produced for each day.  If you do not specify a summarization
parameter, the plot is summarized into the timespan level
(i.e., MONTHS is summarized to the month, WEEKS to the week,
etc.).

The optional TRENDING element for plotting has no default
value.  You can use the name of any numeric element present
on the SCPVSU File.  Enter a question mark (?)  in this field
to obtain a list of all the elements on the selected file.

Note that not all data selection values are valid for every
type of input file, as some of the elements being tested do
not exist in certain files.  An error message is displayed on
the panel if you specify an invalid selection.

There are five other panels in this series that you can use
to specify additional options that are normally defaulted.
They are:

    o  Extended Options Menu
    o  Global Data Selection
    o  Alternate Input File
    o  Save Selected Input Observations
    o  Extended Color Graphic Options Menu

For a description of the Extended Options Menus refer to
Section 1.4.3.6, Specifying Common Extended Options.
