The XCF Analyzer control statement requests the Cross-System Coupling Facility (XCF) Report.

XCF

[,ORDER=(SYSTEM, GROUP, MEMBER)]

The XCF report shows the activity of the Cross-System Coupling Facility.

The information can be summarized for the system and presented individually by member.

The report is divided into three sections:

  • System Summary

    This section contains information about XCF activity for each pairing of source and target systems, including activity within each system.

  • Path Utilization

    This section contains information about XCF activity for each path between or within systems.

  • Detail Report

    This section contains information about XCF activity for each member. You can sort the information in this section by using the ORDER parameter.

Important

Information that is not available for an inbound path is marked with <INBOUND> in that column for all inbound paths.

The XCF statement uses data collected by the XCFDATA Extractor control statement.

Parameters

The parameters for the XCF control statement are as follows:

TYPE=

specifies the type of reports to be generated as one of the following values:

  • SUMMARY—specifies a report of the system usage of XCF and buffer utilization
  • DETAIL—specifies a report of XCF usage by member
  • BOTH—specifies reports of the system usage of XCF, buffer utilization, and XCF usage by member; the default

ORDER=

specifies the ordering of the information displayed in the DETAIL report

This operand has no effect on the SUMMARY reports. The DETAIL report contains a summary line that is calculated based on the first parameter of ORDER. For example, if you specify ORDER=GROUP,SYSTEM,MEMBER, the values on the summary line are calculated based on groups.

If all three values are specified, the order of display for the DETAIL report follows the sequence in which the values are specified. If one or two values are specified, the order of display for the DETAIL report starts with the value or values specified, and follows with the remaining values in the default order.

Examples

These examples show what reports are generated, given the parameters that are specified in the control statement:
