2.8.5.4 Sysplex XCF Channel Activity
The Sysplex XCF Channel Activity report allows you to track
the utilization of the XCF channels linking multiple systems
through the coupling facility. It can be generated for the
DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, or MONTHS timespans if they are present
in your CA MICS database. Note that the Sysplex XCF Channel
Activity report obtains its data from the HARCFP Files. If
you are unsure of the timespans supported at your
installation, consult your CA MICS System Administrator.
The Sysplex XCF Channel Activity report is produced using a
series of five screens. Only the first screen is required.
The others are used to specify additional options that are
normally defaulted.

Figure 2-221. Sysplex XCF Channel Activity Inquiry Screen
Figure 2-221 shows a Sysplex XCF Channel Activity inquiry
screen. The fields common to all Sysplex Analysis routines
are described in Section 2.8.5. The following are general
comments on this screen.
In addition to the timespan qualifier, you have the option
of selecting summaries by ZONE and HOUR. Summarization by
HOUR can be done if you are using the DAYS or WEEKS
timespans. Summarization can be specified with the Report
by hour and Generate a report for each value of Zone options.
If you specify the DAYS timespan and summarization by HOUR,
and if you request multiple cycles, a separate report is
produced for each day. If you do not specify a summarization
parameter, the report is summarized to the timespan level
(that is, MONTHS is summarized to the month, WEEKS to the
week, DAYS to the day, and DETAIL to the RMF interval).
There are four other screens 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
For a description of the Extended Options Menus refer to
Section 1.4.3.6, Specifying Common Extended Options.
