Tape library information (external)
Function: This facility allows the storage administrator to
monitor the day-to-day allocation of new data
sets. This permits early identification of groups
or users that are allocating excessive space or
using space incorrectly. One of the most common
causes of space shortages in a typical
installation is the intentional or unintentional
allocation of large new data sets. These reports
will help solve that type of problem, as new data
sets occupying large amounts of space can be
easily identified and corrected before they cause
space shortages.
The facility permits you to indicate which data
sets are to be considered new for the purposes of
the reports. This option can help provide many
different views of the same data. For example,
you could analyze all the data sets created
yesterday to isolate problem data sets, or you
could look at all data sets created in the last
month to establish growth patterns for each
department.
Because this facility also supports input data
describing the tapes in your tape library, the
reports can also prove useful to those measuring
the usage and growth of that resource. Those
persons responsible for tuning DFHSM or DFSMS can
also benefit from running these reports with HSM
input to determine how soon new data sets are
migrated to HSM.
Features: Summary reports can show new allocation
trends based on volume serial number, volume group
(or SMS storage group), system, SMS management
class, SMS management class, one or more data set
name nodes, one or more CA MICS accounting fields,
or by using an external table of data set name
patterns. Each summary report can be produced as
a tabular report, printer graphic report, or color
graphic report. Up to two different summary
elements may be specified, to provide you with
many different data views.
If a summary report indicates a potential problem
or anomaly, a detailed report can be produced to
give more information about individual new data
sets. You can specify whether all new data sets
should be listed or just the largest. You can
also specify whether the sort order of the detail
report should be based on data set name or size.
Data filtering allows you to include data from
selected groups. For example, you can choose to
report on specific volumes, volume groups, or
select new data sets allocated by only certain
users or departments.
SMS
Issues: The reports in this facility will help you
maximize your storage usage while SMS
implementation is taking place. Even after SMS is
fully implemented, poor allocation practices will
still occur, as users can still override many of
the SMS defaults. The ability to monitor new data
set activity by storage group, storage class or
management class will also help you make sure your
SMS system is working as designed.

Owner
This report requires at least one summarization
level, with a second one being optional. If two
levels are selected, the major level will appear
at the top of each page, and the minor level will
appear as the left-most column in each report. If
only one summarization level was specified, it
will appear as the left-most column. The
description for each summary element will be one
of those values shown above. These values
represent summarization by System Identifier
(SYSID), SMS management class, SMS storage class,
volume serial number, or volume group (or SMS
storage group). If the label "Owner" appears,
this represents summarization based on one or more
data set name nodes, one or more CA MICS
accounting fields, or based on an external Data
Set Group table.
New Data Sets
The number of new data sets found in the input
data belonging to this summary group. The age of
a data set that is considered "new" is determined
by the options you coded on the report options
panel.
% Data Sets New
The percentage of all data sets found in the input
data for this summary group that represent new
data sets. If 100 data sets were found for this
group and 25 of them were new, this value would be
25%.
New Space (MB)
The amount of storage space, expressed in
megabytes, allocated by the new data sets found
for this summary group.
% Space New
The percentage of all allocated space found in the
input data for this summary group that represent
space allocated by new data sets. If all data
sets in this group allocated 100 megabytes of
space, and 40 of those megabytes were allocated by
new data sets, this value would be 40%.
Avg New Size (MB)
The average amount of space allocated, expressed
in megabytes, by the new data sets in this summary
group. This is calculated by dividing the total
amount of space allocated by new data sets by the
number of new data sets.
Largest New Data Set Information:
All of the items on the right side of this report
refer to the largest data set found among all the
new data sets in this summary group.
Name
Specifies the data set name of the largest new
data set in this group.
Space Alloc (MB)
Specifies the amount of space allocated, in
megabytes, by the largest new data set in this
summary group.
Volume Serial Number
Specifies the volume on which the largest new
data set in this summary group resides.
