Part 7: ThruPut Manager integration with Strobe
This topic describes how to get strobe measurement using /*STROBE Card
BMC ThruPut Manager is now capable of understanding Strobe measurement requests made from the batch job. The requests are made in the JCL by the addition of one or more /*STROBE JECL statements in the JCL of the job to be measured.
The JECL statements can be inserted anywhere in the job's JCL except in an instream PROC.
The strobe card is coded as follows:
Note that all parameters are optional.
For detailed information, see JECL-Reference-Guide.
Sample of a job using /*STROBE statements
An example of a JOBSTREAM containing /*STROBE statements:
/*JOBPARM L=999,ROOM=MVSS,S=*
/*STROBE GTP0.STEP0,DTMGTP,1,30000,JOHN.SMITH@BMC.
COM
/*STROBE GTP1.STEP0,DTMGTP,1,30000,JOHN.SMITH@BMC.
COM
/*STROBE GTP2.STEP0,DTMGTP,1,30000,JOHN.SMITH@BMC.
COM
/*STROBE GTP0.STEP1,DTMGTP,1,30000,JOHN.SMITH@BMC.
COM
/*STROBE GTP1.STEP1,DTMGTP,1,30000,JOHN.SMITH@BMC.
COM
/*STROBE GTP2.STEP1,DTMGTP,1,30000,JOHN.SMITH@BMC.

/*STROBE STEP2,DTMGTP,1,30000,JOHN.SMITH@BMC.COM

Output from sample program in the log of the job
The /*STROBE statements are converted by BMC ThruPut Manager and passed to the program STRBGM50. STRBGM50 does the actual queuing of the measurement requests.
Using the STRBADD1 proc in your job would create similar output but it would go to SYSPRINT. When using /*STROBE statements there is no SYSPRINT so it is captured in the job's LOG.
Output messages are produced in the JES joblog of the job. For the sample JCL the output would look like this:
TYPE=Q
JOBNAME=TSTROBE7
STEPNAME=STEP0
PROCSTEP=GTP0
PROGRAM=DTMGTP
DURATION=1
SAMPLES=30000
EMAIL=JOHN.SMITH@BMC.COM
