Display Monitor (DM) Primary Display

The DM Primary Display consists of three screens which are viewed by using the left and right paging PF keys. The right PF key cycles 1-2-3-1; the left PF key cycles 1-3-2-1.

Screen 1

When you issue the DM command, you first see the default screen shown following. This screen displays an overview of the job steps that are being monitored.

---- PMA Display Monitored Jobs ------------------------- Job 0001 OF 0002 COMMAND ===> SCROLL ===> CSR LC Jobname Program Sysname Started Elapsed EXCP Cnt. CPU Time & runaway % --------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- __ SAMPJOB1 PROC001 SYS1 10:35:30 00:00:09 7 0.18 __ SAMPJOB2 PROC002 SYS1 10:35:30 00:00:09 7 0.25 ****************************** END OF JOBS **********************************

For each job listed, the data in the following list is shown:

Jobname

Name of the job

Program

Program name from the JCL or application program name, if available

Sysname

Name of the system where the step is executing

Started

Time the step started

Elapsed

Elapsed time for the step in hh:mm:ss format

EXCP Cnt.

Number EXCPs issued by the step, in units

CPU Time

CPU consumed by the step in ssssss.hh format

runaway %

Percentage of the CPU runaway value shown as a bar graph

The bar is initially white. It turns green in 10% increments from the left, representing the percent of CPU runaway that is used. When the runaway value is reached, the whole bar is set to pink. If an alert is issued for the step, the bar is set to red.

Screen 2

The second screen shown following, displays current used resources as measured values and as a percentage of average use.

---- PMA Display Monitored Jobs ------------------------- Job 0001 OF 0002 COMMAND ===> SCROLL ===> CSR LC Jobname Procstep Stepname CPU (Avg%) IO (Avg%) Elapsed (Avg%) --------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- __ SAMPJOB1 PROC001 0.36 18% 17 15% 0 4% __ SAMPJOB2 PROC002 STEP001 0.32 11% 12 8% 0 3% ****************************** END OF JOBS ************************************

For each job listed, the data in the following list is shown:

Jobname

Name of the job

Procstep

Name of the step that invoked the procedure

Stepname

Name of the step that invoked the program

CPU

CPU used, in ssssss.hh format

CPU (Avg%)

CPU used, as a percentage of the average

I/O

EXCP count, in 1000s

I/O (Avg%)

EXCP count, as a percentage of the average

Elapsed

Elapsed time, in minutes

Elapsed (Avg%)

Elapsed time, as a percentage of the average

Screen 3

On the third screen, shown following, two rows are displayed for each job:

---- PMA Display Monitored Jobs ------------------------- Job 0001 OF 0002 COMMAND ===> SCROLL ===> CSR LC Jobname Average/Runaway CPU EXCP ELAPSED ----------- PXI Projections CPU/IO CPU/ELP IO/ELP IO/CPU ELP/CPU ELP/IO __ SAMPJOB1 AVE/RUNAWAY 2 7 114 393 6 15 PROJECTIONS 6 25 425 94 1 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ SAMPJOB2 AVE/RUNAWAY 3 6 155 481 6 15 PROJECTIONS 12 33 400 109 2 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ****************************** END OF JOBS ************************************

For each job listed, the data in the following list is shown:

Jobname

Name of the job

CPU
AVE/RUNAWAY

Step average CPU time in seconds /
Runaway value for CPU time in seconds

PROJECTIONS

CPU time projection based on the I/O rate /
CPU time projection based on elapsed time

EXCP
AVE/RUNAWAY

Step average number of EXCPs in 1000s /
Runaway value for number of EXCPs in 1000s

PROJECTIONS

Projection for number of EXCPs based on elapsed time /
Projection for number of EXCPs based on the CPU rate

ELAPSED
AVE/RUNAWAY

Step average elapsed time in minutes /
Runaway value for elapsed time in minutes

PROJECTIONS

Elapsed time projection based on the CPU rate /
Elapsed time projection based on the I/O rate

The Performance Index (PIX) projections of CPU, I/O, and ELAPSED for a step are calculated by extrapolating the current use of each of the resources based on the percentage of the average used by the other two resources.

For example, the calculation for the CPU time projection for the CPU/IO value is:

the measured CPU seconds*100 / % of the average I/Os currently used

When a resource has exceeded its average use, it cannot be used to extrapolate for another resource. In such cases, the result field displays RRR>AVE, where RRR is the exceeding resource (CPU, I/O or ELAPSED).
