Profile definition examples


This topic provides usage examples to assist you in defining profiles and setting up alarms.

Each Loop Check Profile displays the following dialog. You can use this dialog to define the loop criteria that creates an alarm for detecting looping IMS regions:

The following table describes scenarios and the loop criteria you can use to detect the loop:

Scenario

Loop criteria

To detect any region that matches the selection criteria after 400 minutes 
of transaction CPU time

Set the following values in the definition criteria:

  • Elapsed Transaction CPU trigger - 06:40:00 

To detect any region that matches the selection criteria after it has used 
at least 250 minutes of transaction CPU time, is using at least 95% of the 
CPU, and is currently performing no DL/I or I/O

Set the following values in the definition criteria:

  • Elapsed Transaction CPU trigger - 04:10:00 
  • Current CPU Usage Percent Trigger - 95 
  • I/O Rate per sec - 0 operand =
