AutoStrobe Parameters
Detailed descriptions and default values for the parameters associated with the Strobe AutoStrobe option are provided below.
AUTOMONITOR=YES
Description: Specifies whether AutoStrobe monitoring is activated and the AutoStrobe option appears on the Strobe Options menu. You must specify the name of the AutoStrobe dataset with the STRAUTO parameter when AUTOMONITOR is set to YES. If your site is using Strobe Global Monitoring, AUTOMONITOR must be set to YES. Valid values are YES and NO.
Default: YES
AUTOACTION=MEASURE
Description: Specifies the automatic action AutoStrobe is to take when it detects abnormal application behavior. Set this parameter to MEASURE when AutoStrobe is to initiate a measurement when it detects abnormal behavior in an application that has been specified to be monitored. Using the WARNING setting causes AutoStrobe to assign the associated request the HELP-WN (warning) status and to provide data describing the abnormal behavior. Valid values are MEASURE and WARNING.
Default: MEASURE
AUTOBDMIN=2
Description: Specifies the minimum time in minutes a program must run for AutoStrobe to collect basis data.
Default: 2
AUTOCANDIDATE=YES
Description: Specifies whether AutoStrobe Candidate processing is performed. Valid values are YES and NO.
Default: YES
AUTOCANTCB=20
Description: Specifies the minimum TCB time in minutes required for job, job step, program, or system to be placed on the AutoStrobe Candidate list for TCB time.
Default: 20
AUTOCANELAP=60
Description: Specifies the minimum elapse time required for a job, job step, program, or system to be placed on the AutoStrobe Candidate list for elapsed time.
Default: 60
AUTOCANEXCP=1000000
Description: Specifies the minimum number of EXCPs required for a job, job step, program, or system to placed on the AutoStrobe Candidate list for EXCP activity.
Default: 1000000
AUTOCANFREQ=30
Description: Specifies the minimum number of runs per week required for a job, job step, program, or system to be placed on the AutoStrobe Candidate list for those that are frequently run.
Default: 30
AUTOELAPPERCNT=50
Description: Specifies the percentage used in calculating the AutoStrobe threshold for elapsed time. Valid values are 1 to 100.
Default: 50
AUTOTCBPERCNT=50
Description: Specifies the percentage used in calculating the AutoStrobe threshold for TCB time. Valid values are 1 to 100.
Default: 50
AUTOIOEVENT1
Description: Specifies the three values for the first event that defines a threshold for abnormal I/O behavior in a monitored program. The values are a greater than percentage, a less than percentage for the norm, and a consecutive number of intervals in the program where either percentage was exceeded. None of these values can be negative.
GREATER_PCT: Event triggered if values are greater than this percentage. Valid values are 0 - 100.
LESS_PCT: Event triggered if values are less than this percentage. Valid values are 0 - 100.
INTERVALS: Number of intervals for event to be triggered. Valid values are 0 - 25.
GREATER_PCT=100
LESS_PCT=75
INTERVALS=3
END
AUTOIOEVENT2
Description: Specifies the three values for the second event that defines a threshold for abnormal I/O behavior in a monitored program.
GREATER_PCT: Event triggered if values are greater than this percentage. Valid values are 0 - 100.
LESS_PCT: Event triggered if values are less than this percentage. Valid values are 0 - 100.
INTERVALS: Number of intervals for event to be triggered. Valid values are 0 - 25.
GREATER_PCT=0
LESS_PCT=0
INTERVALS=0
END
AUTOIOEVENT3
Description: Specifies the three values for the third event that defines a threshold for abnormal I/O behavior in a monitored program.
GREATER_PCT: Event triggered if values are greater than this percentage. Valid values are 0 - 100.
LESS_PCT: Event triggered if values are less than this percentage. Valid values are 0 - 100.
INTERVALS: Number of intervals for event to be triggered. Valid values are 0 - 25.
Default:
GREATER_PCT=0
LESS_PCT=0
INTERVALS=0
END
AUTOIOEVENT4
Description: Specifies the three values for the fourth event that defines a threshold for abnormal I/O behavior in a monitored program.
GREATER_PCT: Event triggered if values are greater than this percentage. Valid values are 0 - 100.
LESS_PCT: Event triggered if values are less than this percentage. Valid values are 0 - 100.
INTERVALS: Number of intervals for event to be triggered. Valid values are 0 - 25.
Default:
GREATER_PCT=0
LESS_PCT=0
INTERVALS=0
END
AUTOIOEVENT5
Description: Specifies the three values for the fifth event that defines a threshold for abnormal I/O behavior in a monitored program.
GREATER_PCT: Event triggered if values are greater than this percentage. Valid values are 0 - 100.
LESS_PCT: Event triggered if values are less than this percentage. Valid values are 0 - 100.
INTERVALS: Number of intervals for event to be triggered. Valid values are 0 - 25.
Default:
GREATER_PCT=0
LESS_PCT=0
INTERVALS=0
END
AUTOMAX=10
Description: Specifies the maximum number of programs that can be monitored by AutoStrobe at any time. The maximum value allowed for this parameter is 50.
Default: 10
AUTOMEASURE=NO
Description: Specifies whether AutoStrobe will initiate measurements of job step programs that are on the load module list. Valid values are YES and NO.
Default: NO
AUTOCICSMAX=10
Description: Specifies the maximum number of CICS transaction candidate requests and CICS transaction monitoring requests that can be active at one time. The value assigned to AUTOCICSMAX is counted towards the AUTOMAX maximum. The value assigned to AUTOCICSMAX cannot exceed the number assigned to AUTOMAX. Valid values are 1 to 50.
Default: 10
HISTORY_PLEX=YES
Description: Specifies whether you want the history option to appear on the Strobe Options menu. Valid values are YES and NO.
