Detail statistics for data set processed by snapshot utilities

Field

Description

Cache - Reads

The total number of reads from the extended buffer by the utility job using the snapshot component for the data set for this copy

This value indicates the number of cache blocks that were read to provide preimage information.

CacheRate - Reads

Cache read access rate (measured in blocks per second) by the latest utility job using the snapshot component for this copy

CacheXfer - Reads

The time (measured in seconds per block) for reading data from the extended buffer for this data set by the utility job using the snapshot component

Besides the actual extended buffer read time, the transfer time includes XBM processing time to bypass the DASD I/O request.

Disk - Reads

The total number of reads from DASD for this data set by the latest utility job using the snapshot component

DiskRate - Reads

Disk read access rate (measured in blocks per second) by the utility job using the snapshot component

DiskXfer - Reads

The time (measured in seconds per block) for reading data from DASD for this data set by the utility job using the snapshot component

This value includes the time required to update the page with the preimage from cache.

Cache - Writes

The total number of blocks written to the extended buffer by the latest utility job for the data set

This value indicates number of preimage data pages that were stored in the extended buffer for the snapshot component.

CacheRate - Writes

Cache write access rate (measured in blocks per second) of the latest utility job for the data set

CacheXfer - Writes

The time (measured in seconds per block) for writing data to the extended buffer for the data set

Disk - Writes

The total number of writes to DASD by DB2 or VSAM for this data set since the copy started

DiskRate - Writes

Disk write access rate (measured in blocks per second) by DB2 or VSAM for this copy

DiskXfer - Writes

The time (measured in seconds per block) for writing data to DASD by the latest utility job for this data set

This includes the time required to read preimages before allowing the write to complete.
