Grouping Monitor II and Monitor III Users

Because both online monitors provide a timer-driven automatic update mode (T command in Monitor II and GO mode in Monitor III), response time for such a user can be meaningless. For example, when Monitor III is running in GO mode with a refresh period of 100 seconds, the TSO response time appears as 100 seconds. Consequently, the response time measured for the service class that the user is in may not be an accurate representation of what happened during the interval.

To avoid this situation, RMF™ recommends that Monitor II and Monitor III users are put in a separate service class.
