CMF Summary Report

The CMF Summary Report shows an overview of system performance.

The same information that is produced in the RMF Summary Report can appear in this report, as well as additional BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CMF information that RMF does not report.

The CMF Summary Report is produced by using the CMFSUM Analyzer control statement. The data is obtained by using the following Extractor control statements:

CHANNEL
CPU
DEVICE
IOQ
PAGING
TSODATA
VSMDATA

An example of the CMF Summary Report is shown in the following figure.

CMF Summary Report field descriptions

The following table describes each field in the CMF Summary Report.

(Abbreviated field names are shown in parentheses.)

Fields that appear in both CMF and RMF are the default fields. Additional fields can be specified with the MEASURE parameter of the CMFSUM Analyzer control statement.

These fields appear only in CMF reports; they do not appear in RMF reports.

If the input SMF records do not contain the data needed to calculate a field, the column corresponding to the field does not appear in the report.

Example

If the MEASURE parameter specifies HIGHUIC but the input does not contain SMF type-71 Paging Activity records, the HIGH UIC column does not appear in the report.
If the MEASURE parameter specifies CPUDPCEC but the input contains SMF type-70 CPU Activity records produced on an MVS system that is running under VM, the CP CEC DISPATCH column does not appear in the report.

^{1 The formula is as follows:}

^{LPAR mode—(online time - parked time - wait time) / (online time - parked time)}
^{Under VM—(interval - wait time) / interval}

^{2 The formula is dispatch time / online time.}

Important

^{If all logical processors are shared and wait completion is set to NO, this dispatch percentage is also the busy percentage.
When MVS runs under VM, the SMF records do not contain sufficient data to calculate this percentage.}

^{3 The formula is percentage of busy time / online time.}
