Application Performance Analyzer for z/OS, Version 11.1, User's Guide

Description of detail lines

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.
Note:
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:
