Learning the CMFMON interface

This section references a commonly used CMFMON screen, Address Space Resource Data (ARD), to introduce you to some of the CMFMON key features.

 The major components of the CMFMON interface are as follows:

  • full title of the screen

    Address Space Resource Data (ARD)

  • standard COMMAND and SCROLL fields, which are available from ISPF
  • SYSTEM field, where you access data from a system other than the current local system
    Displaying-data-from-a-remote-system provides more information about accessing remote data.

  • status line that summarizes various attributes of your system’s performance
    In Address Space Resource Data (ARD) screen, the status line looks like this example:

    CPU 100/ 58  UIC 16  Paging       0 ES Mig Age 67123  Time 08:34:33 Mode TOTAL

    The data in these fields is updated each time that you press Enter.

    The following table describes each field on the status line:

    Field

    Content

    CPU

    percentage of the CPU currently being utilized Depending on your configuration, either one value or two values separated by a slash may be displayed. A detailed explanation of the CPU field in various configurations is provided in the online Help.

    UIC

    highest unreferenced interval count

    Paging

    current demand paging rate, in seconds, as reported by SRM

    ES Mig Age

    average number of seconds that pages remain in expanded storage before being paged out to auxiliary storage, as calculated by SRMN/A is displayed for a system in IBM z/Architecture mode, which does not support expanded storage.

    Time

    time that the data on the screen was collected

    Mode

    screen mode (DELTA mode or TOTAL mode)

    See Displaying-Deltas-and-Totals for more information.

     In addition, some screens contain one or more of the fields shown in this table:

    Field

    Content

    Appears on

    I%

    percentage of the current CMF or RMF interval that has passed

    • DEV
    • IOQUEUE
    • TRX
    • PGSPP

    Job

    name of the job that the data reflects

    • ARDJ
    • ASDJ
    • ASRMJ

    ASID

    address space identifier of the job that the data reflects

    • ARDJ
    • ASDJ
    • ASRMJ
  • filter areas
    The lines beneath each field indicate that you can provide filter criteria to control the data that is displayed. See Filtering-the-display for more information.

CMFMON uses color coding to indicate activity:

  • white (or highlighted on a monochrome terminal) for resources that are currently in use or address spaces that are swapped in
  • blue (or normal on a monochrome terminal) for resources that are not in use or address spaces that are swapped out
