2.8.5.5 Coupling Facility Configuration
The Coupling Facility Configuration Report tracks the
coupling facility activity in terms of utilization, structure
configuration and request activity by structure name. It can
be generated for the DETAIL, DAYS, WEEKS, or MONTHS time-
spans if they are present in your CA MICS database. Note
the Sysplex XCF Structure & Activity report obtains its data
from the HARCFS, HARCFR and HARCFP Files. If you are unsure
of the timespans supported at your installation, consult
your CA MICS System Administrator.
The Coupling Facility Configuration 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 2-222. Coupling Facility Configuration Inquiry Screen
Figure 2-222 shows a Coupling Facility Configuration inquiry
screen. The fields common to all sysplex analysis routines
are described in Section 2.8.5. Generally speaking, you'll
want to use the Structure selection criteria to narrow the
focus of your analysis to selected structures. 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.
