COPY PLUS (Snapshot) panel


When displaying Snapshot Copy jobs (indicated by a Yes in the Snapshot field) from the COPY PLUS (Task) panel, you can press F4 to display the COPY PLUS (Snapshot) panel.

Tip

Alternatively, choose View > Snapshot to display the panel.

The following COPY PLUS (Snapshot) panel provides you with general information about the performance of the Snapshot Copy processing of 

BMC AMI Copy

. The top portion of the panel displays the job information. In the bottom portion of the panel a scrollable list displays the active data sets being processed.

The following table describes the information that is available on the COPY PLUS (Snapshot) panel.

Statistics for BMC AMI Copy snapshot performance

Field

Description

Job name

The name of the utility job

Step name

The name of the job step that ran the utility

Job date

The date that the selected utility job was started

Job time

The time that the selected utility job was started

Current copy command

The current BMC AMI Copy command that is being processed and the total number of commands that will be processed in the job stream

Data sets processed in group

The total number of data sets that are being processed for the current command and which data set is currently being processed

A (Active)

Whether the data set is active (that is, being managed by XBM)

  • If the data set is active, an asterisk appears in this column.
  • If the snapshot-enabled utility did not successfully complete for this data set and has a pending restart, a minus sign (-) appears in this column.
  • If the snapshot has been restarted for this data set, a plus sign (+) appears in this column.
  • If the snapshot was restartable for this data set but an unrecoverable error now prohibits a restart, an exclamation point (!) appears. The data set will remain in this status until you issue the TERM command or attempt a restart (an attempted restart clears the job).

Data set name

The fully qualified name of the data set

RRate (Read Rate)

The read access rate (in blocks per second) for this data set

CBlocks

The number of blocks currently in the extended buffer for this data set

For snapshot data sets, this statistic relates to the buffers used to store preimage reads for snapshot processing.

Cmpl%

The percentage of the managed object for which the snapshot-enabled utility has completed snapshot processing

XBM calculates this value by using RBA values to determine how much of the object has been processed.

From the COPY PLUS (Snapshot) panel, you can display snapshot utility statistics for an individual data set. Type / or S in the selection field next to the data set, and press Enter. For a description of the fields displayed on this panel, see Displaying-statistics-for-individual-data-sets-processed-by-snapshot-utilities.
