SLRPARMS

Syntax

Syntax explanations

• The SUBSYSTYPE subparameter is a required value that indicates the subsystem type for the SLRPARMS command and can have the following values:
  • BATCH
  • CICS
  • Db2
  • IMS
  • MQ
• The GROUPS subparameter defines the names of the service groups that you want to create, such as TRIVIAL, SMALL, MEDIUM and LARGE. You can define up to four group labels.
• The CPUMIPS subparameter defines the CPU MIPS value for each group. This value can have a decimal point.
• The CPUTYPE subparameter defines the processor type that is used to normalize CPU times. To provide consistent reporting, the CPU time must be normalized to a base processor, either in MIPS or seconds. The default is MIPS, which is a universal unit across all mainframe processors. However, for group definition, you might want to use CPU limits in seconds for an older processor for which you have more established baseline statistics. The normalized CPU time is only used when assigning jobs or transactions to one of the service groups. The actual CPU time for the workload is shown when you view the report in Visualizer.
• The CPUSEC subparameter defines the number of CPU seconds for each group. This value can have a decimal point.
• The IOCOUNT subparameter defines the I/O count value for each group.
• The GOALRESP subparameter defines the response time goal for each group. This value can have a decimal point.
• The GOALPCT subparameter defines the goal response time percentage value for each group. This value should be a number between 0 and 100 and can contain a decimal point.

Rules

• All subparameters in this command are required.
• SUBSYSTYPE can contain only one subsystem type. If you need to create SLR for different subsystem types, you must create separate SLRPARMS commands.
• GROUPS can contain four (or fewer than four) labels, but the number of groups must be the same for all SLRPARMS commands.
• The CPUMIPS subparameter is mutually exclusive with the pair of parameters: CPUTYPE and CPUSEC, that is, either CPUMIPS or both CPUTYPE and CPUSEC should be present.
• The CPUTYPE subparameter should contain a single value. This processor type must be contained in the BMC hardware file.
• The number of elements (numbers) in the lists for the parameters CPUMIPS, CPUSEC, IOCOUNT, GOALRESP, and GOALPCT should be the same as number of labels in the GROUPS subparameter.
• Values for each subparameter should be separated by a comma.

Examples

You want to define SLRPARMS for your CICS and BATCH applications. The syntax of the SLRPARMS command would be as follows:
