Field descriptions for all reports

Table 1. Fields in the Workload Activity Report
Field Heading Meaning
CRITICAL This indication reports on the specification in the service policy, not whether SRM is using or ignoring it. This information can be found in Monitor II (ARD report) and in Monitor III (for example, DELAY report).
CPU
CPU critical
STORAGE
Storage critical
CPU + STORAGE
Both CPU and storage critical
NONE
Neither storage nor CPU critical
HONOR PRIORITY=NO This indication is reported for service classes that do not allow to overflow to regular CPs when there is insufficient zIIP or zAAP capacity.
I/O PRIORITY GROUP=HIGH This indication is reported for service classes assigned to I/O priority group HIGH in the active service policy.
TRANSACTIONS Number of transactions.
AVG
The average number of active transactions during the interval including independent enclaves. On a period level, this is the transaction active time for the single period, divided by the RMF interval time. Otherwise, it is the sum of the transaction active time for all summarized periods, divided by the RMF interval time.

To get the average number of transactions related to active address spaces, subtract AVG ENC from AVG.

MPL
The average number of transactions resident in central storage during the interval. On a period level, it is the transaction residency time for a single period, divided by the RMF interval time. Otherwise, it is the sum of the transaction residency time for all summarized periods, divided by the RMF interval time.

To get the average number of transactions related to resident address spaces, subtract AVG ENC from MPL.

ENDED
The number of transactions that ended during the interval. On a period level, this is the number of transactions that ended during that period. Otherwise, it is the total number of transactions that ended for all the summarized periods.
END/S
The number of transactions that ended per second.
#SWAPS
The total number of swaps. On a period level it is the number of swaps occurred during the single period. Otherwise, it is the sum of the number of SWAPS that occurred during all summarized periods.
EXCTD
Count of times a subsystem work manager reported that an execution phase has completed. A single transaction could have zero or more execution phases.
TRANS-TIME Transaction time in HHH.MM.SS.FFFFFF units. All times are reported in the period the transaction ended.

The time a job was delayed due to TYPRUN=HOLD or TYPRUN=JCLHOLD is NOT included in any of the transaction times.

ACTUAL
The actual amount of time required to complete the work submitted under the service class. This is the total response time including EXECUTION, QUEUED, R/S AFFIN, and INELIGIBLE.
EXECUTION
The average execution time of ended transactions.
QUEUED
Average time a job was delayed for reasons other than the ones mentioned below. This field therefore basically includes the time a job was delayed for initiation.

For TSO users, this can be a portion of LOGON processing. For APPC this is the time the transaction spent on an APPC queue.

R/S AFFIN
Average time the job was delayed due to resource or system affinity scheduling delay. This means that resource(s) required for the job to run were not available at some point while the job was queued to JES2.
INELIGIBLE
Average time the job was delayed due to operational delays or JES scheduling delays, examples are:
  • Job held by operator
  • Job class or job queue held
  • Duplicate jobname serialization
  • Job class execution limits
CONVERSION
Average time the job was delayed due to JCL conversion.

Jobs held during conversion (due to affinity, HSM recall, or enqueue contention) contribute only to conversion time, not to ineligible or R/S affinity times.

CONVERSION time is not included in the total response time (ACTUAL).

STD DEV
Standard deviation of ACTUAL.

Standard deviation is a measure of variability of the data in the sample. The higher the standard deviation, the more spread out it looks on a graph.

Transaction Application Time % (TRANS-APPL%)

When transaction processor usage is reported to WLM through IWM4RPT or IWM4MNTF services, the consumed service units are accounted to the transaction service or report classes, and deducted from the region's service and report classes. If the number of transactions is very small and a single transaction reports high processor times, it can occur that processor times become negative. In such a case RMF displays asterisk (*).

TOTAL Total percentage of the processor time used by transactions running on the different processor types.
CP
Total percentage of general purpose processor time used by transactions.
IIPCP/AAPCP
Total percentage of general purpose processor time used by transactions eligible to run on specialty processors.
IIP/AAP
Total percentage of specialty processor time used by transactions.
MOBILE
CATEGORYA
CATEGORYB
Percentage of the processor time used by transactions classified with reporting attribute MOBILE / CATEGORYA / CATEGORYB running on the different processor types. MOBILE / CATEGORYA / CATEGORYB is a subset of TOTAL.
CP
Percentage of general purpose processor time used by transactions classified with reporting attribute MOBILE / CATEGORYA / CATEGORYB.
IIPCP/AAPCP
Percentage of general purpose processor time used by transactions classified with reporting attribute MOBILE / CATEGORYA / CATEGORYB, eligible to run on specialty processors.
IIP/AAP
Percentage of specialty processor time used by transactions classified with reporting attribute MOBILE / CATEGORYA / CATEGORYB.

ENCLAVES Average number of enclaves.
AVG ENC
The average number of independent enclaves during the interval. From a sysplex scope, this is the sum of active time for enclaves that originated on the respective system either for the single period or for all summarized periods divided by the RMF interval time.
REM ENC
The average number of foreign enclaves during the interval. From a sysplex scope, this is the sum of active time for enclaves that originated on a remote system in the sysplex, but are executing on the respective system either for the single period or for all summarized periods divided by the RMF interval time.
MS ENC
The average number of multi-system enclaves during the interval. From a sysplex scope, this is the sum of active time for enclaves that originated on the respective system and are executing on one or more remote systems in the sysplex in parallel either for the single period or for all summarized periods divided by the RMF interval time.
DASD I/O Information about DASD I/O activities.
SSCHRT
Number of start subchannels SSCH per second in the reported interval.
RESP
Average DASD response time (in milliseconds) of the transactions in this group. This is the sum of the average connect time (CONN), the average disconnect time (DISC), the average wait time (Q+PEND), and the IOS queue time (IOSQ).
CONN
Average DASD connection time of the transactions in this group, as reported by the channel measurement subsystem.
DISC
Average DASD disconnect time of the transactions in this group, as reported by the channel measurement subsystem.
Q+PEND
Average DASD wait time (queue time + pending time) of the transactions in this group. This does not include IOSQ time, as reported by the channel measurement subsystem.
IOSQ
Average time the transactions in this group spent on the IOS queue, based on sampled delays.
SERVICE The service is calculated by multiplying the received service units with the appropriate service definition coefficient.
IOC
Total amount of input/output service received.
CPU
Total amount of task and preemptible-class SRB processor service received.
MSO
Total amount of main storage occupancy service received.
SRB

TOT
Sum of CPU, SRB, IOC, and MSO service.
/SEC
Rate at which service is provided in service units per second.
ABSRPTN
Absorption rate at which service is used while transactions are resident in main storage. This is the total service divided by the transaction residency time.
TRX SERV
Rate at which service is used by transactions that are active, but not necessarily in storage. This is the total service divided by the transaction active time.
SERVICE TIME This category is made up of the following:
CPU
Task and preemptible-class SRB (enclave) time in seconds consumed on general purpose and special purpose processors.
SRB
Service request block time in seconds.
RCT
Region control task time in seconds.
IIT
I/O interrupt time in seconds.
HST
Hiperspace service time in seconds.
AAP
zAAP service time in seconds.
IIP
zIIP service time in seconds.
Note:
  1. If special purpose processors are running faster than general purpose processors, AAP and IIP times are not normalized.
  2. Normalized AAP and IIP times are included in CPU time.
APPL% Percentage of the processor time used by transactions running on the different processor types. The calculation is:
                          Processor time used 
APPL% = -------------------------------------------------------- * 100
        Interval length * Multithreading maximum capacity factor
CP
Percentage of the processor time used by transactions running on general purpose processors in the service or report class period. The calculation of the processor time is based on the time values displayed under field heading SERVICE TIME.

Processor time used = CPU + SRB + RCT + IIT + HST – (AAPNF * AAP) – (IIPNF * IIP)

The AAP and IIP times may be normalized to general purpose processor time from a faster zAAP or zIIP where AAPNF and IIPNF are the zAAP and zIIP normalization factors. They can be found under field heading NORM FACTORS on the POLICY page of the Workload Activity report.

AAPCP
Percentage of the processor time used by zAAP eligible transactions running on general purpose processors. This is a subset of APPL% CP.
IIPCP
Percentage of the processor time used by zIIP eligible transactions running on general purpose processors. This is a subset of APPL% CP.
AAP
Percentage of the processor time used by transactions executed on zAAPs in the service or report class period.
IIP
Percentage of the processor time used by transactions executed on zIIPs in the service or report class period.
Notes:
  1. APPL% shows processor utilization based on uniprocessor capacity. This means that the values can exceed 100% in systems with more than one processor.
  2. If the multithreading mode is set to 1, a multithreading maximum capacity factor of 1 is used for the APPL% calculation.
  3. The interval length in a sysplex is the common interval length.
  4. In a sysplex, the values for seconds and CPU time percentages are meaningful only if all processors have the same speed and the multithreading mode is the same on all systems. You can use the SYSRPTS WLMGL SYSNAM option to select only a subset of the systems to be included in the report.
  5. AAPCP or IIPCP may report values greater than zero even if no special purpose processors are configured or if they are varied offline, because the PROJECTCPU option is specified in the active IEAOPT Parmlib member. This information can be used to understand the benefit of adding special purpose processors to your system.
PROMOTED CPU time in seconds that transactions in this group were running at a promoted dispatching priority, separated by the reason for the promotion:
BLK
CPU time in seconds consumed while the dispatching priority of work with low importance was temporarily raised to help blocked workloads
ENQ
CPU time in seconds consumed while the dispatching priority was temporarily raised by enqueue management because the work held a resource that other work needed.
CRM
CPU time in seconds consumed while the dispatching priority was temporarily raised by chronic resource contention management because the work held a resource that other work needed
LCK
In HiperDispatch mode, the CPU time in seconds consumed while the dispatching priority was temporarily raised to shorten the lock hold time of a local suspend lock held by the work unit.
SUP
CPU time in seconds consumed while the dispatching priority for a work unit was temporarily raised by the z/OS supervisor to a higher dispatching priority than assigned by WLM.
STORAGE Amount of storage frames.
AVG
Weighted average number of central and expanded storage frames allocated to active ASIDs. This value is the sum of the number of central and expanded frames weighted by the transaction residency time for each active ASID, divided by the total transaction residency time.
Note: Enclave transaction residency or active time is not included in the calculation of this value.
TOTAL
Total number of central and expanded storage frames allocated to resident ASIDs. This value is the sum of the total number of central and expanded frames weighted by the transaction residency time for each active ASID, divided by the RMF interval time.
SHARED
Total number of shared storage pages allocated to resident ASIDs.
PAGE-IN RATES
SINGLE
The average rate at which pages are read into central storage while transactions are resident in central storage. On a single period level this is the total number of page-ins during the period, divided by transaction residency time. For all other levels it is the sum of the total number of page-ins for all periods summarized, divided by the sum of the transaction residency time for all periods being summarized.
BLOCK
Rate of demand page-ins from DASD for blocked pages, expressed in pages per seconds.
SHARED
Rate of shared storage page-ins
HSP
Rate of standard hiperspace pages read into central storage from auxiliary storage.
Note: Enclave transaction residency time is not included in the calculation of these values because there is no paging on behalf of enclaves.
MOBILE Percentage of the processor time used by transactions classified with reporting attribute MOBILE running on the different processor types. MOBILE is a subset of TOTAL.
CP
Percentage of general purpose processor time used by transactions classified with reporting attribute MOBILE.
AAP/IIP ON CP
Percentage of general purpose processor time used by transactions classified with reporting attribute MOBILE, eligible to run on specialty processors.
AAP/IIP
Percentage of specialty processor time used by transactions classified with reporting attribute MOBILE.
Service Classes being Served
SERVICE CLASSES BEING SERVED This section is only available if address spaces are doing work for transactions that were classified to another service class. The name of each service class being served by the reported service class (see name in the separation line) is displayed.
Work Manager/Resource Manager
SUB TYPE The name (for example CICS or IMS) represents the subsystem type (4 characters) as used in the classification rules in the WLM administration application. The subsystem's documentation should explain the meaning that product attributes to the specific states.
P The phase identified as BTE indicates the representation of the states incurred in the begin-to-end phase of a transaction EXE indicates the representation of the states incurred in the execution phase of a transaction.
RESP TIME (%) The transaction response time percentage in either the BEGIN-TO-END phase, or the EXECUTION phase.
STATE SAMPLES BREAKDOWN (%) Identifies the percentages of samples that a transaction has been detected in the reported states.
ACTIVE SUB
The active subsystem state sample percentage. Active indicates that there is a program executing on behalf of the work request from the perspective of the work manager. This does not mean that the program is active from the BCP's perspective.
ACTIVE APPL
The active application state sample percentage in contrast to the active subsystem state sample percentage. This allows a subsystem to differentiate between work requests processed by the subsystem itself (ACTIVE SUB) and work requests processed by an application invoked by the subsystem.
READY
The ready state sample percentage. Ready indicates that there is a program ready to execute on behalf of the work request described by the monitoring environment, but the work manager has given priority to another work request.
IDLE
The idle state sample percentage. Idle indicates that no work request (or transaction) is allowed to run.
STATE SAMPLES BREAKDOWN (%) - WAITING FOR STATE SAMPLES BREAKDOWN (%) - continued.

This category presents up to fifteen named delay reason states having the highest non-zero values. These are sorted by the sum of the BTE and EXE rows in each column. The values of the remaining less important states will be accumulated, if applicable, and presented as delay reason OTHR.

Here is a list explaining the delay reasons.

LOCK
waiting for lock.
I/O
waiting for I/O indicates that the work manager is waiting on an activity related to an I/O request. This may either be an actual I/O operation or some function associated with an I/O request.
CONV
waiting for conversation could have been used in conjunction with IWMMSWCH to identify where the target is located.
DIST
waiting for distributed request indicates at a high level that some function or data must be routed prior to resumption of the work request. This is to be contrasted with 'waiting on conversation', which is a low level view of the precise resource that is needed. A distributed request could involve 'waiting on conversation' as part of its processing.
LOCL
waiting for a session to be established locally, for example, on the current MVS image.
SYSP
waiting for a session to be established somewhere in the sysplex.
REMT
waiting for a session to be established somewhere in the network.
TIME
waiting for timer.
LTCH
waiting for a latch.
PROD
waiting for another product.
MISC
waiting for unidentified resource, possibly among another specific category, but which may not be readily determined.
SSLT
waiting for an SSL thread.
REGT
waiting for a regular thread.
WORK
waiting for registration to a work table.
BPMI
waiting for I/O resulting from a Db2 buffer pool miss.
TYPn/TYnn
The generic delay state defined by the subsystem (possible values: TYP1 - TYP9 and TY10 - TY15). If the subsystem uses the WLM service IWM4MGDD (Define Descriptions for Generic Delay States) to provide a description for a generic delay state, RMF displays a legend with the delay state description. If the subsystem did not use the IWM4MGDD service, the legend is omitted. For further explanation of the generic delay state types please refer to the subsystem documentation.
STATE SWITCHED SAMPL(%) Subsystem state samples - continued
LOCAL
State representing transactions for which there are logical continuations on this MVS image. Subsystems might set this state when they function ship a transaction to another component within the same MVS image.
SYSPL
State representing transactions for which there are logical continuations on another MVS image in the sysplex. Subsystems might set this state when they function ship a transaction to another component on another image in the sysplex.
REMOT
State representing transactions for which there are logical continuations somewhere within the network. Subsystems might set this state when they function ship a transaction to another component within the network.
Service or Report Class period: goal and actual values

If measurement data for systems in a sysplex is available, this section starts with an *ALL line showing the average or cumulative values for the sysplex. The *ALL line is followed by one line for each system.

GOAL This line shows the goal specified in the WLM service policy for a service class period. For information about available goal types refer to z/OS MVS Planning: Workload Management.

In a report for a homogeneous report class period, the goal of the corresponding service class period is printed. For heterogeneous report class periods, N/A is printed.

VELOCITY MIGRATION The following two values are only provided for periods with an execution velocity goal:
I/O MGMT
I/O Priority Management

Value of achieved execution velocity including I/O using and delay samples.

If WLM I/O delay management is enabled in the service definition, this value matches EX VEL%. Otherwise, this is the value that would be observed if WLM I/O management were enabled and no other changes that would affect the execution velocity calculation were made.

You see your current definition in the Service Policy page (see Figure 1).

INIT MGMT
Initiator Management

Value of achieved execution velocity including batch initiator delay samples.

If WLM batch initiator management is enabled in the service definition, this value matches EX VEL%. Otherwise, this is the value that would be observed if WLM batch initiator management were enabled and no other changes that would affect the execution velocity calculation were made.

You find a description of these delays in this table for the field TRANS.-TIME.

RESPONSE TIME This column either shows:
  • for an AVG response time goal: the measured average response times
  • for a percentile response time goal: the percentages of the transactions that met the response time goal
  • for an execution velocity goal, a system or a discretionary goal: N/A
  • for heterogeneous report class periods: N/A
EX VEL % The execution velocity measures the portion of the acceptable processor and storage delays relative to the total execution time. For details about the execution velocity, see Common Monitor III report measurements.
PERF INDX The performance index for a period represents how close a period came to reaching the goal (PI is 1.0 if goal is reached), and how much this period suffered versus its goal. See Table 1 for more details about the performance index.
AVG ADRSP Average number of address spaces and enclaves that contributed delay and using samples to this class.
EXEC USING% The following using samples are measured as percentages of the total samples:
CPU
Standard CP using samples. This value includes using samples of zAAP and zIIP work executing on general purpose processors (standard CPs).
AAP
zAAP using samples.
IIP
zIIP using samples.
I/O
I/O using samples.
Note:
  1. Use the APCUSGP (AAP on CP Using%) overview condition to retrieve the using samples of zAAP work executing on general purpose processors (standard CPs).
  2. Use the IPCUSGP (IIP on CP Using%) overview condition to retrieve the using samples of zIIP work executing on standard CPs.
EXEC DELAYS % General execution delays included in TOT (total). Each dispatchable unit sampled can increase one of the CPU or paging delay samples. Besides the TOT value, only the seven highest values contributing to TOT will be shown. The remaining less important values will be accumulated and presented as OTH.
TOT
Total delay used by SRM in its execution velocity calculation.
CPU
CPU delay. A TCB or SRB is waiting to be dispatched (other than the first in-line behind sampler), or a TCB is waiting for a LOCAL lock.
AAP
zAAP-eligible work is delayed because it is waiting for a processor that can run zAAP work.
IIP
zIIP-eligible work is delayed because it is waiting for a processor that can run zIIP work.
I/O
I/O delay. A TCB or SRB has initiated an I/O request that is delayed obtaining a path to the device. This includes IOSQ and Q+PEND components (see CONN for a description).
Note: It depends on the definition in WLM whether this value is part of the TOTAL value or not, by default it is not contained in TOTAL.
CAP
CPU capping delay. A TCB or SRB is marked non-dispatchable because
  • a resource group maximum is being enforced
  • or because of discretionary goal management. That is, if certain types of work are overachieving their goals, that work may be capped so that the resources may be diverted to run discretionary work (see also section 'Using Discretionary Goals' in z/OS MVS Planning: Workload Management).

This value is NOT part of the CPU delay.

SIN
Swap-In delay. Swap-In has started but not completed.
MPL
MPL delay. Ready but swap-in has not started.
Q MPL
Queue MPL - work is waiting for a server address space or batch initiator.
SRV PRV
Private area paging delay for a server address space.
SRV VIO
VIO paging delay for a server address space.
SRV SHS
Hiperspace paging delay for a server address space.
SRV SIN
Swap-in delay for a server address space.
SRV MPL
MPL delay for a server address space.
AUX PRV
Auxiliary paging from private.
AUX COM
Auxiliary paging from common.
AUX XME
Auxiliary paging from cross memory.
AUX VIO
Auxiliary paging from VIO.
AUX SHS
Auxiliary paging from standard hiperspaces.
AUX EHS
Auxiliary paging from ESO hiperspaces (a page being read was not in the ESO hiperspace, it has to be read from DASD by the program managing the hiperspace).
USING% Percentage of using states:
CRY
Crypto using state — a TCB or SRB was found to be using an adjunct processor (AP).
CNT
Contention using state - work is holding resources.
DELAY % The following states are NOT included in the TOTAL EXECUTION DELAYS.
UNK
State is unknown. The address space or enclave was not found to be using or delayed for any sampled resource, but z/OS has not been notified that it is idle.
IDL
Idle state. Work is in STIMER wait, TSO terminal wait, APPC wait, OMVS input or output wait, or an initiator is waiting for work.
CRY
Crypto delay state — a TCB or SRB was found to be waiting for an AP or a processor feature queue.
CNT
Contention delay state - work is waiting for resources.
% QUI Quiesce state. Some work in this period has been RESET with the QUIESCE keyword. This is the percentage of address spaces and enclaves quiesced during the reporting interval.
RESPONSE TIME DISTRIBUTION (for service/report class periods with a response time goal only) WLM maintains counts of how many transactions were completed within a particular time.

The response time goal defined for each service class period is split into 14 response time buckets where:

  • bucket 1 covers the gap from 0 to half the goal
  • buckets 2 to 11 cover the gap between half the goal to 1.5 times the goal evenly divided
  • bucket 12 covers two times the goal
  • bucket 13 covers four times the goal
  • bucket 14 covers the gap from four times the goal to infinity
The chart presents the sysplex-wide view on the
  • number of total (ended) transactions,
  • response time,
  • number of total (ended) transactions in percent,
  • and a graphical illustration of the percentage.
TIME
Response time associated to this bucket.
# TRANSACTIONS
Number of transactions that completed for this period.
CUM TOTAL
Cumulative number of transactions so far
IN BUCKET
Number of transactions in this bucket
% TRANSACTIONS

Percent Scale
Graphical presentation of each bucket
RESPONSE TIME DISTRIBUTIONS (for service/report class periods with an execution velocity goal only) WLM maintains counts of how many transactions were completed within a particular time.

The average of all response times (midpoint) measured for each service/report class period is split into 14 response time buckets where:

  • bucket 1 covers the gap from 0 to half the midpoint
  • buckets 2 to 11 cover the gap between half to 1.5 times the midpoint evenly divided
  • bucket 12 covers two times the midpoint
  • bucket 13 covers four times the midpoint
  • bucket 14 covers the gap from four times the midpoint to infinity
