History interval values

If you have allocated historical data sets, historical reporting begins as soon as the PAS is initialized. Data is recorded at the interval that is specified in the HLQ.BBPARM data set member TACTIR00. The following parameters are in TACTIR00:

  • INTVAL is the interval length for data collection (in minutes).
  • SYNCVAL indicates how long to wait (in minutes after the start of the hour) before starting the first interval.

The INTVAL and SYNCVAL settings trigger end-of-interval processing.

Important

You can change the parameters by copying the TACTIR00 member to HLQ.UBBPARM(TACTIR00) and make changes. You can also specify SMF to synchronize the collection time with the SMF interval.

The following table lists values that can be specified for INTVAL and SYNCVAL.

INTVAL

SMF

Important

If INTVAL='SMF' is specified, the SYNCVAL parameter is ignored. The interval time is set to 15 minutes.

SMF or nn

nn must be an integer of 60:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

SYNCVAL

00

The interval starts at the beginning of the hour

00 or INTVAL-1

YES or NO

By default, intervals are synchronized on the hour (SYNCVAL='00'). For example, if INTVAL is specified as 15 minutes and extraction begins at 7:49 A.M., the first interval lasts until 8:00 A.M. (only 11 minutes). Successive intervals are 8:00 to 8:15, 8:15 to 8:30, and so on.

The following figure shows a sample of the TACTIR00 member.
