  7. To view a related area dashboard, select a hyperlink from one of the following locations:

    Each area dashboard shows one or more key indicators of area activity for the last 60 minutes. The Thread % Utilization chart and the Recent Thread Issues chart highlight other key indicators or exception conditions to be aware of. If the first entry in one of these charts is non-zero, right-click to see if there is a hyperlink defined. If a hyperlink is displayed, follow it to view a history chart of those metrics.

    Also included is a detail area analysis dashboard. Maximize this view for easier access. The dashboard displays all of the exception elements, and other important metrics. Hyperlinks in the first column provide quick access to related information. Right click any highlighted field to see the available hyperlink.

  8. If you are monitoring data sharing, you can view either one group or multiple groups, and then view the individual members for any group by hyperlinking on the Member Count field. To concentrate on one group, select a dsgroup context (in the Contexts by Product pane). To view multiple groups, choose a higher-level SSI context, such as ALL.There are two configurations provided under Multiple DB2s (SSI DSG Context). The group summary displays the total number of current exceptions for all members per group. It also includes exception counts in special sub-areas specific to data sharing activity - global locking, group buffer pools, and sysplex parallelism. The member status dashboard shows these counts for each member within a group, and provides hyperlinks to analyze any exceptions.
