Building a Quiet Time Analysis job
The On-demand Quiet Time Analysis job allows the user to dynamically perform quiet time analysis without relying on pre-defined Object, Utility, or Job Profiles.
About this task
Procedure
- Specify 3 on the On-Demand Operations Menu panel.
- Specify an SSID on the Enter SSID for On-Demand Processing panel.
-
On the Quiet Time Analysis Parameters, specify the following information:
Figure 1. Quiet Time Analysis Parameters panel IMS RE V2R2 ------ Quiet Time Analysis Parameters ----- 2021/04/17 13:12:02 Command ===> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creator: TEST Name: BSYDEMO SSID: IDA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Log Range Type ==> P (Preceding/Timestamp) Preceding Options: Preceding Type ==> H (Hours/Minutes) Preceding Value ==> 01 (00-99) Timestamp Options: Beginning Timestamp ==> - - - : : End Timestamp ==> - - - : : DBRC Only ==> N (Yes/No) Minimum Quiet Time ==> 00 : 00 : 05 (hh:mm:ss)- Log Range Type
- Specify a time range within which the search for an object's quiet time will occur.
Specify P (Preceding) to indicate that a specific time span preceding the current time will be used to specify where to begin and where to stop reading the log to find a quiet time. If you select this option, you must specify the time span details in Preceding Type and Preceding Value fields. By default, the time range is set to P by 1 hour using the local client time.
Specify T (Timestamp) to indicate that specific time values will be used to specify where to begin and where to stop reading the log to find a quiet time. If you select this option, you must specify the start and end time in the Beginning Timestamp and End Timestamp fields.
- Preceding Type
- Specify whether the preceding time is in hours (H) or in minutes (M).
- Preceding Value
- Specify the number of hours or minutes, as specified in the Preceding Type field. Valid values are 0-99.
- Beginning Timestamp
- Specify the beginning time for the range. Specify timestamp values in the following format: YYYY - MM - DD - HH - MM - SS.
- End Timestamp
- Specify the end time for the range. Specify timestamp values in the following format: YYYY - MM - DD - HH - MM - SS.
- DBRC Only
- Specify y if you want times that the databases were not allocated. Specify N if you want the archive logs read to determine a time where no updates occurred for the databases.
- Minimum Quiet Time
- Specify a time value that represents the minimum duration of quiet time for an object to be
included in the output. The default value is
00:00:05(5 seconds).
-
Press Enter. On the resulting Add Objects panel, specify whether you want
to Add Databases, Add Indexes, or Add
Groups by specifying Y in all the fields that apply.

In the Enter Databases/Indexes/Groups Like to Display panel, specify the
following information depending on what is available:
- Specify a filter in the Database Like field to filter search results.
- Specify Y in the Wildcard field to automatically add all objects that meet your criteria into the profile. An object list will not be presented. When the profile is used, IMS Recovery Expert dynamically expands the added name.
- Specify I to include databases you select in the subsequent panel, or specify E to exclude them.
- Specify Y in the Process Dependent Indexes field to dynamically include indexes that are dependent on the selected databases.
- Specify Y in the Process Logical Relations field to dynamically include databases that are logically related to the selected databases.
Note: The options you are given will depend upon your selection on the Add Objects panel. - If you specified to Add Databases, from the Include Database Selection panel, enter S in the Cmd line next to databases you would like to include or exclude, depending on what was specified on the Enter Databases Like to Display panel, and press Enter to confirm. Press PF3 when you've finished selecting databases.
- If you specified to Add Indexes, from the Include Database Selection panel, enter S in the Cmd line next to the indexes you would like to include or exclude, depending on what was specified on the Enter Indexes Like to Display panel, and press Enter to confirm. Press PF3 when you've finished selecting indexes.
- If you specified to Add Groups, from the Include Database Selection panel, enter S in the Cmd line next to the groups you would like to include to exclude, depending on what was specified in the Enter Groups Like to Display panel, and press Enter to confirm. Press PF3 when you've finished selecting groups.
- On the Object Profile panel, use EXPLODE to include or exclude objects as needed, or use the Cmd line to add or delete objects as needed. Press PF3 when you are satisfied with the list.

On the Build Job for $MLC$OND.$ON-DEMAND OBJECT LIST panel, specify the
following information:

- Specify Y to view the job in an ISPF edit session after generation. If you specify N, you will return to the previous panel after the job is generated.
- Build job in Dataset member
- Specify the fully qualified data set name (without quotes) where you want to save the generated job. This data set must exist and can be sequential or a PDS. If the data set is a PDS, specify a member name. If the member does not exist, IMS Recovery Expert will create it.
- Job Cards
- Specify a valid job card for your site.
- Press Enter to generate the Quiet Time Analysis JCL, or PF3 to cancel.
