$$PVT


This optional member defines threshold values to be used for specific address spaces, or groups of address spaces, whose names begin with the same characters.

It is used by the PVT sampler (see PVT).

Note

The PBUILD service can be used to refresh the in-storage table created from member $$PVT and the PLIST service can be used to display the contents of the in-storage table.

Syntax rules

The format is:

jobname limit1 limit2
  • Statements that begin with an asterisk (*) are considered comments and are ignored.
  • Only columns 1 through 72 in each statement are processed.
  • The jobname can begin in any column.
  • A comma or one (or more) blanks must separate limit1 from the jobname and limit2 from limit1.

The jobname value is required.

  • The limit values are optional.
  • An omitted limit value, or a limit value of zero, indicates that the limit value specified on the PVT sampler control statement should be used.

The parameters are defined as follows:

Parameter

Description

jobname

one to eight-character jobname of the TSO or batch address spaces

You must enter the started task with its jobname and started task ID in the form: name.ID. If there is no started task ID, you must repeat the name.

For example, specify LLA.LLA for the LLA address space. You can specify a partial names by ending the name with an asterisk. For example, to use the same threshold for all of the started tasks with a jobname of ABCDEFGH, specify ABCDEFGH.*.

MainView SYSPROG Services processes statements based on the the order they are listed in the member. In this example, the member contains the following statements:

ABC1 50 50

ABC2 50 50

ABC* 90,90

MainView SYSPROG Services uses the threshold value of 50 (percent below-the-line) and 50 (percent above-the-line) for jobs ABC1 and ABC2, and a threshold value of 90 percent for all of the other address spaces whose names begin with ABC.

limit1

is the limit for below-the-line private storage

A warning message is issued when the amount of storage is equal to, or greater than, the limit value. If the limit value is zero or is omitted, MainView SYSPROG Services uses the value specified on the PVT sampler statement.

limit2

is the limit for above-the-line private storage

A warning message is issued when the amount of storage is equal to, or greater than, the limit value. If the limit value is zero or is omitted, MainView SYSPROG Services uses the value specified on the PVT sampler statement.

Note

No checking is performed for an address space when both limit values are set to 100.


 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
