Tracking of tape device sharing activity (TAPE: LOCAL)
One LOCAL record is created per interval. If 10 partners are participating in tape sharing activity with TapeSHARE at the end of the interval, you must save and collect the Automation Reporter TAPE: LOCAL records from each partner individually.
Therefore, note that the information described here is for a single partner in a TapeSHARE plex where TapeSHARE is performing tape device sharing automation for a group of partners.
Table 1. TAPE: LOCAL records
| Data item name | Max. field length | Type of data | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALLOCATION REQUESTS | 12 | numeric | number of times this partner requested that TapeSHARE find one or more devices for the partner to use |
| ALLOCATION REQUESTS SATISFIED | 12 | numeric | number of times that TapeSHARE was able to satisfy this partner’s request for a device |
| TOTAL DEVICE REQUESTS | 12 | numeric | number of devices that TapeSHARE obtained from other partners for this partner to use |
| TAKES NOT GIVEN TO THE REQUESTING JOB | 12 | numeric | number of times a device was TAKEN from another partner but not GIVEN to the requesting job In other words it’s the number of times the partner requested a device and a device was found but the partner did not end up receiving the device. This could happen because the request timed out before the partner could actually TAKE the device. |
| TOTAL TIME NEEDED FOR A TAKE | 12 | numeric | amount of time (in seconds) this partner spent waiting for a device |
| REQUEST FOR GIVES | 12 | numeric | number of times other partners requested to share devices from this partner |
| GIVES | 12 | numeric | number of times this partner actually GAVE devices to other partners |
| TOTAL DEVICES GIVEN | 12 | numeric | number of devices that were GIVEN by this partner to other partners |
| SUCCESSFUL TAKE: TOTAL TIME | 12 | numeric | amount of time (in seconds) that a partner spent asking for devices and receiving them |
| SUCCESSFUL TAKE: RETRY TIME | 12 | numeric | amount of time (in seconds) spent in retrying to complete a successful TAKE |
| SUCCESSFUL TAKE: RETRY COUNT | 12 | numeric | number of retry attempts that were made and a successful TAKE was completed |
| FAILED TAKE: TOTAL TIME | 12 | numeric | amount of time (in seconds) that a partner spent asking for devices and did not receive any devices |
| FAILED TAKE: RETRY TIME | 12 | numeric | amount of time (in seconds) spent in retrying to complete a TAKE but was unsuccessful |
| FAILED TAKE: RETRY COUNT | 12 | numeric | number of retry attempts that were made and a TAKE was unsuccessful |
| TIMED OUT: REQUESTS | 12 | numeric | number of requests that could not be satisfied because the request timed out |
