Display Active Users panel (DA)
The DA panel shows information about MVS address spaces (jobs, started tasks, and TSO users) that are running.
As of SDSF 2.5, the DA panel uses data gatherers running in the SDSFAUX address space and
caches the information centrally.
The data gatherer supports both the RMF and non-RMF case. RMF is used when RMF is
installed and is not explicitly disabled by the installation. When RMF is not available, a non-RMF
data gatherer is used. Note that the non-RMF data gatherer provides only a small subset of the
columns available as opposed to the RMF case. Columns for which RMF is required are indicated by
RMF.
In REXX execs and Java™ programs, reference columns by name rather than by title.

| SZIIP RMF | SzIIP% | 6 | IBM z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP) utilization for the system that is processing the job. This is a system value and so is the same for all rows for a system. | |

Notes on the table:
- Not included in the default field list.
- SDSF calculates the value for the CPU% column. It is the ratio between the CPU time used by one job and the CPU time used by all jobs, in the interval between times that the user presses Enter.
- Columns with information for zAAPs and zIIPs are shown only if at least one of the appropriate specialized processors (zAAP or zIIP) has been configured for a system that is within the scope of the systems being shown on the panel. Note that changing the systems being shown (with the SYSNAME or FILTER commands) once the DA panel is displayed does not affect whether SDSF includes or omits the column.
- HSF indicates the column requires the data gatherer running in SDSFAUX.
