Database I/O Activity for VSAM Buffer Pools (IMS Systems) view (IDABVSMR)


The Database I/O Activity for VSAM Buffer Pools (IMS Systems) view (IDABVSMR) provides database I/O activity information for VSAM databases summarized at the buffer pool level.

You can use the IDABVSMR view to analyze I/O information related to buffer pools and to recognize and solve N-way data sharing problems resulting from badly organized databases, I/O contention, buffer pool sizes and assignments, or buffer cross-invalidation.

IDABVSMR shows I/O totals, rates, and average times for all open VSAM databases.

Note

To monitor Database I/O Activity for VSAM Buffer Pools in interval time, use the Database I/O Activity for VSAM Buffer Pools interval view (IDABVSM).

You can link to the IDABVSMR view from the following views:

  • VSAM Buffer Pools option in the IMS Fast Menu (EZIFASTR) and the DBCTL DBA Easy Menu (EZIDBA)
  • VSAM Wrst Hit and Buf Steal fields in the IMS Dashboard view (IMSDASSR)
  • VSAM Bufr Pool Hit Ratio field in the IDASDTLR view
  • Worst VSAM Pool Hit Ratio field in the IDAGDTLR view
  • VSAMPool HitRatio field in the IDAGSUMR and IDASSUMR views
  • IDABVSMR field in the IDABVSTR view
