Most of the previous data elements have the same meaning and
derivation as their identically named counterparts in the
CA MICS VMXSGP file.
 
AVGACTU:    Average number of active users.  It is calculated
            using the following formula:
 
            AVGACTU = SGPACTIV / INTERVLS
 
            where SGPACTIV is the accumulated number of
            active users during all recording intervals.

AVGLOGU:    Average number of logged users.  It is calculated
            using the following formula:
 
            AVGLOGU = SGPUSRLG / INTERVLS
 
            where SGPUSRLG is the accumulated number of
            logged on users during the recording intervals.

Q1EUSER:    E1 users in eligible list.  It is calculated
            using the following formula:
 
            Q1EUSER = SGPC1ELG - SGPC2ELG

Q2EUSER:    E2 users in eligible list.  It is calculated
            using the following formula:
 
            Q2EUSER = SGPC2ELG - SGPC3ELG

Q1LDUSR:    Count of loading users in Q1.  It is calculated
            using the following formula:
 
            Q1LDUSR = SGPC1DLD - SGPC2DLD

NTRRSPUP:   Non-Trivial transaction response time in a
            Virtual UP.  It is calculated using the following
            formula:
 
            NTRRSPUP = SGPNTRUP / SGPNTCUP
 
            where SGPNTRUP is the total CPU time for non-
            trivial transactions in a Virtual UP, and
            SGPNTCUP is the count of non-trivial transactions
            executed in a Virtual UP.

NTRRSPMP:   Non-Trivial transaction response time in a
            Virtual MP.  It is calculated using the following
            formula:
 
            NTRRSPMP = SGPNTRMP / SGPNTCMP
 
            where SGPNTRMP is the total CPU time for non-
            trivial transactions in a Virtual MP, and
            SGPNTCMP is the count of non-trivial transactions
            executed in a Virtual MP.

TRVRSPUP:   Trivial transaction response time Virtual UP.  It
            is calculated using the following formula:
 
            TRVRSPUP = SGPTRVUP / SGPTCTUP
 
            where SGPTRVUP is the total CPU time for trivial
            transactions in a Virtual UP, and SGPTCTUP is the
            count of trivial transactions executed in a
            Virtual UP.

TRVRSPMP:   Trivial transaction response time Virtual MP.  It
            is calculated using the following formula:
 
            TRVRSPMP = SGPTRVMP / SGPTCTMP
 
            where SGPTRVMP is the total CPU time for trivial
            transactions is a Virtual MP, and SGPTCTMP is the
            count of trivial transactions executed in a
            Virtual MP.
