Using the STATUS utility


The STATUS utility summarizes the activity of each active sampler for each active CMF MONITOR Extractor that is running on your system.

  1. Select S - STATUS from the CMF Extractor Online Utilities menu.The CMF Extractor Status panel is displayed.

  2. Use your PF keys to scroll through the STATUS panel. Data for each Extractor that is running on your system is sequentially displayed.

Field descriptions for the STATUS utility

The fields displayed in the STATUS panel are described in the following table.

Field name

Description

VERSION

The first message line shows the version and release information of the active CMF MONITOR and of the BMC Software Subsystem Services (BBXS). This information is provided for each system in the format: Version.Release.Level.

(monitoring mode)

The second message line indicates which monitoring mode is active:

CMP— Continuous Performance Monitoring

IMP — Intermittent Performance Monitoring

The time and date that the monitor was started is also shown.

CXEN(Y) — indicates that the PAS was started with CXEN=Y

CXEN(N) — indicates that the PAS was started with CXEN=N

If there is no active monitor, this message is displayed: CMF NOT ACTIVE.

If CMF MONITOR is in the process of initializing, this message appears: NO ACTIVE MONITORS.

MVT

This field is the CSA address of the main CMF MONITOR control block.

DIE

This field is the number of disabled interrupt exits taken.

CSA

These fields display the following information:

ADR — address of each CSA block

SIZE — amount of extended CSA allocated for each CSA block (as specified on the CMF MONITOR Extractor REPORT control statement; see Generating-and-managing-batch-reports)

USED — portion of allocated CSA actually used for each CSA block

ALLOC DATE & TIME — allocation date and time stamp for each CSA block

TOTAL — total CSA allocated and used

WKQE’S

128-byte control blocks allocated from pre-allocated blocks of CSA

The following information about WKQEs is provided:

TOT —total number of WKQEs allocated, including supplemental WKQEs

MAX — maximum number of WKQEs in use at one time during the execution of the CPM or IPM monitor

AVG — average number of WKQEs in use during the execution of the CPM or IPM monitor

CUR — number of WKQEs that are currently in use

FRE — number of WKQEs that are currently free and available for use

SUPL — number of WKQEs that were allocated to supplement the WKQEs allocated at monitor initialization

Note

For performance reasons, WKQEs are allocated contiguously during monitor initialization, the number of which are determined from the Extractor REPORT statement parameters (or their defaults). Should this number be insufficient to meet the needs of the monitor as it executes, additional WKQEs are allocated as needed. However, these supplemental WKQEs might not be contiguous to the original WKQEs and this situation might have a small impact on monitor performance. Also, if an excessive number of WKQEs are allocated, that is, TOT exceeds MAX by a fair amount, you can reduce the number of WKQEs allocated at monitor initialization, thereby optimizing the use of CSA by the monitor. See the Extractor REPORT statement CSA and WKQE parameters in REPORT for further information.

RUN TIME

This field shows the length of time, in minutes, that CMF MONITOR will run (as specified on the CMF MONITOR Extractor REPORT control statement; see Generating-and-managing-batch-reports ).

RECORD TIME

This field shows the interval, in minutes, for writing records (as specified on the CMF MONITOR Extractor REPORT control statement; see Generating-and-managing-batch-reports ).

MEMBER

This field displays the name of the //PARMLIB DD member from which input control statements were read. SYSINCPM or SYSINIPM means that input was read from SYSIN for CPM or IPM.

RECORDS WRITTEN

This field displays the number of records that have been written to the CMF MONITOR output data set.

This field does not appear if any of the following conditions exist:

  • The status panel is reporting on a version of CMF below 5.1.
  • The Extractor is writing to SMF.
  • The Extractor is writing to a null file.
  • Extractor recording has been suspended.

CMF MONITOR OUTPUT DATA SET

This field displays the name of the CMF MONITOR or SMF recording data set.An asterisk (*) indicates that this is the alternate data set (the primary data set is full). If both the primary and alternate data sets are full, the following message is displayed: DATASET(S) FULL, RECORDING IS SUSPENDED

If CMF MONITOR is disabled, this name is not displayed.

Sampler information lines

The remainder of the output panel provides a sampler information line for each sampler that was invoked at Extractor initialization, in the following format:
