Each detail line shows the following information about the observation
session:
Request Number
This is the unique four digit request number assigned
to identify the observation session. This is also an input field which
accepts line commands. Type the line command directly on top of the
request number. If the request number has a "+" beside it,
this indicates that there are subsequent entries underneath this one.
The line commands accepted in the Request Number field are as follows:
- "/"
- Display context menu.
- "?"
- Display context help information.
- "++"
- Show additional details about this request in a pop-up window.
As with all reports, you can also press the Enter key instead.
- "+"
- Expand to reveal next level entries. This is used for multi-step,
repeat schedule, USS, threshold and collateral DB2 requests. When
there is next level entries available, a "+" will appear
beside the request number.
- "-"
- Collapse to hide next level entries.
- "D"
- Delete the request.
- "R"
- Display performance analysis reports menu for this request,
or start Realtime Monitor if request is currently active. When entered
for parent observations of multi-step, repeat schedule, USS and threshold
measurements, this will expand to reveal next level entries.
- "S"
- Select Reports or Realtime Monitor. When entered for parent
observations of multi-step, repeat schedule, USS and threshold measurements,
this will expand to reveal next level entries.
- "T"
- Tag up to 20 measurements at one time. Tagged measurements are
used for variance reporting and CICS multiple address space reporting.
For variance reporting, use the "T" line command together
with the "V" line command, which you use to indicate the
base measurement and launch variance reporting. For CICS multiple
address space reporting, use the "T" line command together
with the "R" line command, which you use to launch reporting
for one of the CICS regions. In addition to the standard CICS reports,
the specific CICS multiple address space reports are generated.
Note:
Tagged measurements remain tagged only for the duration
of the session.
- "TR"
- Create a new request to be Triggered when this request starts.
This can only be used on a request that is in SCHED status.
- "V"
- Launch performance analysis reporting in a mode that enables
access to variance reports. Use the "V" line command to compare
a measurement previously tagged with a "T" line command.
The measurement selected by the "V" line command is the base
measurement in variance reports.
The
report menu will be displayed in response to the "V" line
command.
- CAN
- Cancel the request (request must be active).
- KEEP
- Keep this request until it is manually deleted. This overrides
the auto delete feature.
- MOD
- Modify the request (request must not have started yet).
- NEW
- Create new observation request with the same attributes as this
request.
The NEW line command will display the Schedule New Measurement
panel with the input fields pre-filled with entries from the request
on which "NEW" was typed. If you want an empty Schedule New
Measurement panel, use the "NEW" primary command.
- SUB
- Create a new observation request with the same attributes as
this request and submit it immediately. You use "SUB" instead
of the "NEW" line command when you do not need to view or
change any of the fields in the original request.
- EXP
- Export the sample file for this request to a file in XMIT format.
The request numbers can be displayed in different
colors. Parent observations inherit the color of the most critical
child. Expand the parent to see the color of the individual child
observations. The colors that can be displayed are as follows:
- Turquoise
- The default color having no specific meaning
- White
- Indicates this observation has been 'tagged'.
- Yellow
- When the expiry days warning feature is enabled, indicates this
observation will be automatically deleted in two or more days. Use
the SW line command on the ReqNum heading to sort these observations
by delete date. Use the KEEP command to prevent this request from
being automatically deleted. Users with administrator authority will
see the yellow for all users' observations. All other users will
see the yellow for their own observations only.
- Green
- When the expiry days warning feature is enabled, indicates this
observation has no delete date or is marked 'Do not Delete'. Use the
SK line command on the ReqNum heading to sort all these similar observations
to the top of the list. Users with administrator authority will see
the green for all users' observations. All other users will see
the green for their own observations only.
- Red
- When the expiry days warning feature is enabled, indicates this
observation will be automatically deleted within 24 hours. Use the
SW line command on the ReqNum heading to sort these observations to
the top of the list. Use the KEEP command to prevent this request
from being automatically deleted. Users with administrator authority
will see the red for all users' observations. All other users
will see the red for their own observations only.
Owned By
This is the User ID of the "owner" of the request (the
TSO ID of the user who created the request).
Description
This is the descriptive name of the observation session that was
entered (optionally) when the request was made.
Job Name
This is the name of the job (or Started Task or TSO ID) that was
measured.
Date/Time
This indicates the date and time of the completion of the measurement.
If the measurement is not yet complete, the date and time when the
request was made is shown.
Samples
If the session has a status of Ended or Active this is the number
of observation samples done. If the observation session has not yet
started (a status of "Sched" or "Future") then this
shows the number of observation samples requested. This field changes
color depending on the status.
Status
This shows the status of the observation session:
- Active means the session is currently taking place.
- Cancel means the request was cancelled using the "CAN"
line command.
- Ended means the session has completed.
- Ended+ means the session has completed, but this
request will repeat if the target job runs again. This happens when
the "Times to repeat measurement" field is specified, and
the specified interval has not yet passed. Once the specified interval
passes, the status will change to "Ended."
- Failed means the request failed to complete normally,
and did not create a valid sample file.
- REPEAT means that this is a repeating schedule request.
The requests under this entry can be displayed by using the "+"
line command to expand to the next level.
- Sched means the session has been scheduled but measurement
has not yet been started.
- STEPS means that this is a multi-step request. The
requests under this entry can be displayed by using the "+"
line command to expand to the next level.
- Stoppd means the request was stopped for some reason,
usually a CPU Usage control issue, look at report S01 and check for
the CPU Usage Status field. It will be present if the request was
stopped due to CPU Usage controls. You can also use the "++"
(or Enter key) line command directly on the request number field,
and a reason will be shown in the detail window.
- Tagged means that this measurement has
been tagged (with the "T" line command) for use in variance
reports or CICS multiple address space reports.
- Thresh means that this is a Threshold Monitor
request. The request under this entry can be displayed by using the "+"
line command to expand to the next level.
- Trig means this request will be triggered
when the corresponding scheduled request starts.
- USS means that this is a USS environment
measurement. A separate measurement file is created for each spawned
address space. Enter the "+" line command to expand this
item to see each completed measurement.
- MultJb means that this is a multiple job
request, created by entering a jobname with wildcards specified. The
measurements under this entry can be displayed by using the "+"
line command to expand to the next level.
- IMS means that this is an IMS Multiple
Address Space (MASS) request. Enter the "+" line command
to expand this item to view the individual IMS MPP region observations.
