OPSVIEW Control Option › How to View Operator Server Facility Status Information (Option 4.3) › Fields on the Operator Server Facility Panel

Fields on the Operator Server Facility Panel

The top part of the panel provides information about one of the OSF Execute Queues, including:

• The number of commands currently on the queue.
• The maximum number of commands that have been on the queue at one time (since CA OPS/MVS was last started).
• The average length of time that a command remains on the queue before the OSF dispatches it to a server. If the length of time is long, there may be an insufficient number of OSF server address spaces. Use OPSVIEW option 4.1.1 to change the values of the OSF-related parameters that control this number. For information about option 4.1.1, see How to View and Modify Parameter Settings (Option 4.1.1) in this chapter. For detailed descriptions of OSF-related parameters, see the Parameter Reference.

In addition, you can use the System, Wait, and Class fields if it is your intention to gather server information about a remote copy of CA OPS/MVS or a different class of OSF server:

• In the System field, specify the system name of the remote copy of CA OPS/MVS. The remote copy must have an active MSF connection to the local copy.
• If you want information about the local copy, specify an asterisk (*) instead of a system name.
• If you do not know which systems are available, you can enter a question mark (?) in the System field to select a name from a table of defined cross‑system connections.
• In the Wait field, specify the maximum number of seconds to wait for cross‑system command response.
• In the Class field, specify the OSF server class of the servers you want to display; possible class values are TSO (the default), TSL, TSP, and USS.

The remainder of the Operator Server Facility panel contains fields that describe each OSF server address space in detail.

ASID

The address space ID of the server (in hexadecimal format).

Taskname

The started task name of this server.

Status

The status of the server. Values are INIT (initializing), IDLE (waiting for work), ACTIVE (running a transaction), and TERM (terminating). The status of a server address space is INIT until the initial server command, which is %OSFSTART, completes and the server is ready to receive input.

J

A value indicating whether a JES JOBID was obtained for the server.

Trans

The number of transactions the server processed since it started.

Elapsed

If the value of the Status field is ACTIVE, this is the length of time that has passed since the server began processing this transaction. If the value of the Status field is not ACTIVE, the value in the Elapsed field is the elapsed time since the server started.

Note: The format of the Elapsed field depends upon its content:

• If the value is less than 1000 seconds, the format is sss.tttS, where sss is seconds and ttt is tenths of a second.
• If the value is less than 100 hours but greater than or equal to 1000 seconds, the format is hh.mm.ss, where hh is hours, mm is minutes, and ss is seconds.
• If the value is greater than or equal to 100 hours, the format is hhhhh.mm, where hhhhh is hours and mm is minutes.

CPU Time

If the value of the Status field is ACTIVE, this is the amount of CPU time the server has used so far to process this transaction. If the Status field contains any other value, the value in the CPU Time field is cumulative for all transactions the server has processed.

The format of the CPU Time field depends upon its content. For details, see the note in the description of the Elapsed field.

Lines

If the value of the Status field is ACTIVE, this is the number of lines of output produced so far by the processing of this transaction. If the Status field contains another value, the value in the Lines field is cumulative for all transactions the server has processed.

Curr/Last Command

If the value of the Status field is ACTIVE, the first 19 characters of the command that is executing appear in this field. If the Status field contains a different value, the first 19 characters of the last command that the server executed appear here.
