Function: Allows users to define a series of data set name
mask patterns, compare these patterns against
their existing data set names, and report the
results of these comparisons.
Provides a summary of each pattern, the number of
matches that occurred for the pattern, and the
space represented by the matching data sets.
Further information about the use of pattern files
is available in the facility instructions at the
end of this section.
Features: Many software products allow generic patterns or
masks to be defined that are then used to allow
operations on data sets whose names match the
mask. This report helps users define, test, and
tune those patterns so that software can be
implemented faster and with fewer problems.
This analysis reads an external file of
user-defined data set name patterns. This pattern
file is then matched against each of the
installation's data set names, with the results
displayed on this report. The number of data sets
that matched none of the patterns is also
reported.
SMS
Issues: This report is useful for identifying the data set
pattern masks that should be coded in SMS ACS
routines for the purpose of assigning class and
group names for new data sets. Once the pattern
file is complete, a report option can be used to
generate a starter or skeleton ACS routine.
COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS
Search Pattern
Identifies the search pattern that is summarized
on this report line. Search patterns are defined
in a pattern file that you define and then read
with this program. A value of '(NO MATCH') in
this column is used to represent data sets that
did not match any of the existing patterns in the
pattern file.
Construct Name Assigned
The name of the construct associated with this
search pattern that was assigned to the data sets
in this group. A construct name can, optionally,
be associated with each search pattern in the
pattern file. The concept of constructs allows
many data sets with similar requirements to be
grouped as one logical entity. For example, the
following entries in the pattern file:
**.COBOL SOURCE
**.ASM SOURCE
**.PLI SOURCE
would assign data set names ending in the suffixes
COBOL, ASM and PLI to a common group known as
'SOURCE'. Because these data sets all probably
represent source code, it is logical that they
have similar requirements and can be treated as
one entity. Depending on the type of ACS routine
being written, the construct name could represent
the name of a Data class, Storage class,
Management class, or Storage Group. A value of
'(NONE)' in this column indicates that no
construct name was assigned, either because one
was not defined in the pattern file, or because
the data set matched none of the search patterns.
Data Sets Matching Pattern
The number of data sets within the input data that
matched the search pattern represented by this
summary line. A value of zero indicates a search
pattern that did not match any data sets.
Percent Matching Pattern
The percentage of data sets within the input data
that matched the search pattern represented by
this summary line. A value of zero indicates a
search pattern that did not match any data sets.
Note that data sets excluded from the analysis by
filtering criteria are not included when
calculating this value.
Megabytes Allocated
The amount of storage space, expressed in millions
of bytes (megabytes), allocated by the data sets
matching this search pattern.
Percent Space Allocated
The percentage of the total storage space
allocated by the data sets matching this search
pattern, expressed in millions of bytes
(megabytes). This is calculated by dividing the
space allocated for this group by the total space
allocated by all data sets in the analysis. Note
that data sets excluded from the analysis by
filtering criteria are not included when
calculating this value.
Megabytes Used
The amount of storage space, expressed in millions
of bytes (megabytes), used by the data sets
matching this search pattern. Data sets included
in the analysis from tape or HSM will always have
this value equal to the allocated value (unless
you specify the PRIMARY option for HSM space
reporting).
Percent Space Used
The percentage of the total storage space used by
the data sets matching this search pattern,
expressed in millions of bytes (megabytes). This
is calculated by dividing the space used for this
group by the total space used by all data sets in
the analysis. Note that data sets excluded from
the analysis by filtering criteria are not
included when calculating this value.
