Database I/O Activity for VSAM Buffer Pools (IMS Systems) view (IDABVSMR)
The Database I/O Activity for VSAM Buffer Pools (IMS Systems) view (IDABVSMR) provides database I/O activity information for VSAM databases summarized at the buffer pool level.
You can use the IDABVSMR view to analyze I/O information related to buffer pools and to recognize and solve N-way data sharing problems resulting from badly organized databases, I/O contention, buffer pool sizes and assignments, or buffer cross-invalidation.
IDABVSMR shows I/O totals, rates, and average times for all open VSAM databases.
You can hyperlink to the IDABVSMR view from the:
- VSAM Buffer Pools option in the IMS Fast Menu (EZIFASTR) and the DBCTL DBA Easy Menu (EZIDBA)
- VSAM Wrst Hit and Buf Steal fields in the IMS Dashboard view (IMSDASSR)
- VSAM Bufr Pool Hit Ratio field in the IDASDTLR view
- Worst VSAM Pool Hit Ratio field in the IDAGDTLR view
- VSAMPool HitRatio field in the IDAGSUMR and IDASSUMR views
