VSAM Attributes / Node Analysis (STGEFC)


Source:    VCA_VS file at the DETAIL timespan

Function:  Expands on the information in the summary report,
           providing a data set name node summary of the VSAM
           data sets within each group.

           This is useful when the user needs to know the
           name structures of data sets with a certain set of
           attributes.

Features:  Report options allow analysis of up to nine nodes,
           (1st, 2nd, ...9th), a range of nodes, or the last
           node of the data set name.

           You can specify that only the most commonly
           occurring nodes should appear on the report.

           Once the summary report has identified a group of
           data sets with similar attributes, this report
           helps identify those users or groups that own the
           data.

SMS
Issues:    Establishing SMS data classes usually requires two
           steps:  defining the attributes of the class and
           finding a way to assign each new data set to the
           correct class.  This report helps with the second
           part of this process, as it identifies patterns
           that can be used in ACS routines to make class
           assignments.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    Report Group
           Identifies the reporting group for which this
           analysis report is produced.  Refer back to the
           summary report to determine the group of data sets
           that comprise this report group.  All data sets
           assigned to this particular report group will have
           their data set node(s) analyzed by this report.

    Data Set Name Pattern (Node)
           The data set node(s) represented by this
           summarization.  The contents of this column are
           determined by the values coded on the report
           option screen for this report, and by the values
           found in your data set names for this report
           group.  The occurrence of leading, trailing, or
           duplicate periods in this value indicates that the
           node(s) you specified were not present for the
           data set names represented by this group.  For
           example, trying to analyze nodes 2-3 of data set
           name SYS1.PROCLIB would result in a value of
           'PROCLIB.', while trying to use nodes 3-5 would
           result in a value of '..'.

    Data Set Count
           The number of data set names included in this
           report group that matched the data set name
           structure identified in the Data Set Name Pattern
           column.  The sum of this column may not equal the
           number of data sets in the report group, as very
           small groups of common node(s) can be dropped from
           the analysis, as specified on the report options
           screen.

    % of Group Total
           The percentage of all the data set names included
           in this report group that matched the data set
           name structure identified in the Data Set Name
           Pattern column.  The sum of this column may not
           equal 100%, as very small groups of common node(s)
           can be dropped from the analysis, as specified on
           the report options screen.

    Average Size (KB)
           The average size of each data set in this report
           group with this data set name pattern, expressed
           in thousands of bytes (kilobytes).  This is
           calculated by adding the size of each data set in
           the group, and dividing by the number of data
           sets.

    Minimum Size (KB)
           The size of the smallest data set in this report
           group with this data set name pattern, expressed
           in thousands of bytes (kilobytes).

    Maximum Size (KB)
           The size of the largest data set in this report
           group with this data set name pattern, expressed
           in thousands of bytes (kilobytes).

     Percentage of Data Sets Less Than:
           This represents a cumulative percentage
           distribution line for all data sets within this
           data set name pattern and this report group.
           Values along the line range from 100 kilobytes to
           10 megabytes, and represent the cumulative
           percentage of data sets having sizes within each
           range.

    % Other
           The percentage of data sets within this data set
           name pattern and this report group that are larger
           than 10 megabytes in size.
