WDLY
The Workload Delay sampler produces a warning when a workload’s delay meets or exceeds a specified threshold. A delay is the amount of time that a workload tried to use one or more resources and could not.
Syntax
The parameters are defined as follows:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
int | Number of intervals between report periods; the default is 30 seconds (one interval) |
name | Name of the workload to be monitored |
name* | Indicates a partial workload name You can specify partial names by using a wildcard character (an asterisk). |
percent | Represents the minimum percentage of delay Any delay greater than this number generates a warning message. Delays are calculated for the current data collection interval as defined by BMC AMI Ops Monitor for z/OS. That is, if a data collection interval is defined as 15 minutes, the workload delay percentage is calculated for the current 15-minute period, regardless of how many minutes have elapsed. |
Example
Assuming a report interval of 30 seconds, the following control statement displays warning messages every three minutes if any workload starting with the letters MAC is delayed more than 30 percent of the current BMC AMI Ops Monitor for z/OS data collection interval:
WDLY 6,MAC*,30
Warning message
The following warning message is issued by the WDLY sampler:
PWSWDLY0 *WARNING* Workload wwwwwwww Delayed xxx.xx%
Message PWSWDLY0 indicates that workload wwwwwwww has been delayed xxx.xx percent of the current BMC AMI Ops Monitor for z/OS data collection interval.
