Special considerations of report output

The heading fields for a summary report are similar to the headings on an duration report. The START field shows when the first measurement interval began. The END field shows the date and time when the last interval ended. When a summary report consists of more than one page, the heading fields are repeated for each page. See Single-system report header for more information on the heading fields.

The START, END, CYCLE, and INTERVAL fields reflect the contents of the page on which they appear. When total summary data is requested, a total summary line is generated for the intervals covered on each page, and the last page of the report shows values for START, END, CYCLE, and INTERVAL that reflect the contents of all pages in the report.

When a particular system activity is not measured during the reporting period, the columns describing that activity are omitted. For example, if a Monitor I session did not measure paging activity, the columns in the summary report that describe paging activity (SWAP RATE and DEMAND PAGING) are omitted.

The columns for JOB, TSO, STC, ASCH, and OMVS are available only if CPU activity was measured.

RMF omits a field (other than date, starting time, and interval time) if all values within the column are zero during the reporting period.

Table 1. Fields in the Summary Report
Field Heading Meaning
NUMBER OF INTERVALS The number of RMF measurement intervals included in the reporting period. When the report is more than one page, this field reflects the contents of the page on which it appears.
TOTAL LENGTH OF INTERVALS The total length of the reporting period in the form hh.mm.ss.
DATE MM/DD The date when each interval included in the summary report began. This field is reported when you specify interval summary data. It does not appear in the total summary data line.
TIME HH.MM.SS The start time for each interval included in the summary report.
INT MM.SS The actual length of each interval included in the summary report.
CPU BUSY The average busy percentage during the reporting period for all general purpose processors. Special purpose processors are not included in the calculation.

For systems running in a PR/SM environment, this value is the LPAR busy time percentage.

DASD RESP The average number of milliseconds required to complete an I/O request on all direct access storage devices included in the report.
DASD RATE The activity per second for all direct access storage devices included in the report. The value reported corresponds to an accumulation of each DEVICE ACTIVITY RATE field in the Direct Access Device Activity report.
TAPE RATE The activity per second for all magnetic tape devices included in the report. The value reported corresponds to an accumulation of each DEVICE ACTIVITY RATE field in the Magnetic Tape Device Activity report.
JOB MAX/AVE The maximum and average number of batch jobs that were active during each measurement interval. The values reported corresponds to the MAX/AVE number of BATCH address spaces in the CPU Activity report.
TSO MAX/AVE The maximum and average number of TSO/E sessions that were active during each measurement interval. The values reported corresponds to the MAX/AVE number of TSO/E address spaces in the CPU Activity report.
STC MAX/AVE The maximum and average number of started tasks and mount tasks that were active during each measurement interval. The value reported corresponds to the MAX/AVE number of STC address spaces in the CPU Activity report.
ASCH MAX/AVE The maximum/average number of APPC/MVS transaction scheduler (ASCH) address spaces that were active during each measurement interval. The value reported corresponds to the MAX/AVE number of ASCH address spaces in the CPU Activity report.
OMVS MAX/AVE The maximum/average number of OMVS address spaces that were active during each measurement interval. The value reported corresponds to the MAX/AVE number of OMVS address spaces in the CPU Activity report.
SWAP RATE The number of swaps per second for each interval. The value reported corresponds to the sum of the AUX STOR TOTAL and the EXP STOR TOTAL fields in the SWAP PLACEMENT ACTIVITY section of the Monitor I Paging Activity report.
DEMAND PAGING The number of demand paging requests per second for each interval. This is the demand paging rate from DASD (page fault rate).
TOTAL/ AVERAGE The single line that reports total summary data. The line contains either the average rate of events over the reporting period (or page), or the maximum number of events during any of the measurement intervals included in the reporting period (or page).
