Database I/O Activity for OSAM Buffer Pools (IMS Systems) view (IDABOSMR)


The Database I/O Activity for OSAM Buffer Pools (IMS Systems) view (IDABOSMR) provides database I/O activity information for OSAM databases, summarized at the buffer pool level.

You can use the IDABOSMR view to analyze I/O information related to buffer pools. The view helps you 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.

IDABOSMR shows I/O totals, rates, and average times for all open OSAM databases.

You can hyperlink to the IDABOSMR view from the:

  • OSAM Buffer Pools option in the IMS Fast Menu (EZIFASTR) and the DBCTL DBA Easy Menu (EZIDBA)
  • OSAM Wrst Hit and Buf Steal fields in the IMS Dashboard view (IMSDASSR)
  • OSAM Bufr Pool Hit Ratio field in the IDASDTLR view
  • Worst OSAM Pool Hit Ratio field in the IDAGDTLR view
  • OSAMPool HitRatio field in the IDAGSUMR and IDASSUMR views
