AIOR


The Address Space I/O Rate (AIOR) sampler produces a warning message when an address space issues EXCPs at a rate that exceeds the defined threshold during a reporting interval.

Note

You can suppress reporting for specific address spaces by including their names in member BBPARM $$INEXCL. For details, see INEXCL.

Syntax

GUID-16A99429-A8E9-43B0-A27C-EE46BA4E61AC-low.pngThe parameters are defined as follows:

Parameter

Description

int

is the length of the sample period in intervals

name

is the name of the address space to be monitored

If the last character of the name is an asterisk (*), the name is to be treated as a generic address-space name prefix; that is, any address space whose name matches the character string up to but not including the asterisk is monitored.

rate

is the rate of EXCPs-per-second that must be reached before exception messages are issued

The default is an I/O rate greater than 25 EXCPs per second.

type

is the type of address space to be monitored, where

  • B indicates a batch job
  • S indicates a Started Task
  • T indicates a TSO user
  • A indicates any address space matching the specified name; the default

Example

Assuming a report interval of 30 seconds, the following control statement displays warning messages at two-minute intervals for each address space whose I/O rate exceeds 25 EXCPs-per-second over the preceding two minutes:

AIOR 4,*,25,A

Warning message

The following warning message is issued by the AIOR sampler:

PWSAIR91 *WARNING* I/O RATE FOR ttt nnnnnnnn IS excp EXCPs/SEC

Message PWSAIR01 indicates that the specified address space has exceeded the warning threshold for I/O rate, where

Variable

Description

ttt

is STC, TSU, or JOB

nnnnnnnn

is the address space name

excp

is the EXCPs issued by the address space during the interval
