Descriptions of Analyzer JCL PARM parameters


The following table describes the CMF Analyzer parameters.

JCL parameter

Format

Description

CTRLSIZE

CTRLSIZE=nnnnK

Obsolete; ignored if specified

(PTF BQM1749 applied)

EXPTOC

EXPTOC

Generates an expanded Report Table of Contents for reports that include an ACTL line in their header

LOWSTACK

LOWSTACK=nnnnK

Specifies the size of the 24-bit (below the line) storage stack that the Analyzer uses for working storage that must be below 16M

The default size is 64K.

MEMOBJ

MEMOBJ=nnnnnM

MEMOBJ=nnG

Specifies the size of the DMSS Memory object used to store data that is extracted from the input SMF record preparatory to producing the requested reports.

The default is 4 Gig (4096 Meg) and the maximum is 64 Gig.

The use of this parameter overrides any specification on the DMSS Control Statement. You may also need to specify the JCL MEMLIMIT parameter to allow the Memory Object to be created.

NLOG

NLOG

suppresses certain Analyzer logging

NOSPIE

NOSPIE

Normally, when the Analyzer encounters an arithmetic program check (such as divide by zero), it takes a SNAP or TDUMP, terminates the current report, and continues on producing the next requested report.

When NOSPIE is specified, the program check causes the Analyzer to terminate immediately.

SPLITMSG

SPLITMSG

When the Analyzer reads the input SMF data, any SMF records that are logically split, because the data exceeded to 32K LRECL, are stored until all of the segments are read and are then processed together.

The SPLITMSG parameter causes the Analyzer to produce an audit trail for this function.

STACK

STACK=nnnnM

Specifies the size of the 31-bit (above the line) storage stack that the Analyzer uses for the working storage, for the reports requested.

The default value is 16 Meg and the maximum is 1024 Meg. If the value for this parameter is larger than the default or the default 31-bit region is not at least 32 Meg. you may need to specify the JCL REGION (or REGIONX) parameter.

TDUMP

TDUMP=dsname.prefix

Specifies a data set name prefix of up to 17 characters.

This data set name is used to dynamically allocate an IEATDUMP (Transaction Dump) data set if an arithmetic program check occurs and a NOSPIE has not been specified.

This is a dynamic alternative to the CMFTDUMP DD statement.

UPPERCASE

UPPERCASE

UPPERCAS

UPPERCSE

Causes all output of the Analyzer to be folded to upper case.

XDSDATE

XDSDATE=CMF|SMF

Specifies which SMF record date will be used when selecting SMF records using the XDS interface.

When you specify CMF (or RMF), the interval date and time within the SMF record Product section is used. When you specify SMF, the SMF record 'write' date and time is used.

Important

This parameter replaces the use of the XDSDATE parameter on the SYSPLEX Control Statement.
