Summarizing common storage usage

To summarize common storage usage, type OVER on the COMMAND line.

The CS Monitor Common Storage Overview panel is displayed, as shown in the following figure.

 The CS Monitor Common Storage Overview panel contains the following fields:

Field

Description

You specified

amount of storage that you specified using the CSA and SQA parameters during IPL or in the PARMLIB member IEASYSxx

IBM added

amount of storage that IBM added to the amount you specified, to round to an appropriate boundary

Actual size

actual allocated size of the common areas

Allocated CSA

amount of CSA or ECSA currently allocated from GETMAIN and STORAGE

Allocated SQA

amount of SQA or ESQA currently allocated from GETMAIN and STORAGE

Amount available

difference between the actual size of the area and the amount allocated
For CSA/ECSA, this amount includes fragmented storage. Fragmented storage is storage that has been assigned to a specific subpool and key but that has not be allocated (remnants of pages). This storage will be used to satisfy allocation requests for the same subpool and key when the requested size is equal to or less than the storage remaining in the fragmented page.

Percent available

amount of storage available in the area, expressed as a percentage of the area’s actual size

Creating graphs and charts

Use the following procedure to create a graph or a chart.

  1. Specify the type of chart by using one of these commands

    Command

    Description

    BAR

    produces a bar graph

    PIE

    produces a pie chart

    3D

    produces a three-dimensional surface chart on terminals supporting high-resolution graphics

  2. Type S next to the column headings and storage categories that you want to graph. You must select at least one column and one storage category.
  3. When the graph is displayed, press Enter to update the data.
  4. Press the HELP PF key to transfer to the Generalized Graphic Facility (GGF).
    You can modify the graph parameters and customize your own graphs from GGF. For example, you can alter the chart color and legend and save these modifications in a chart definition for future retrieval.
