     NAME - MRSYTEPM
     DESCRIPTIVE NAME - Monitor Sample Record
          Domain 0  - System Domain
          Record 20 - Extended Channel Measurement Data (per channel)
     DESCRIPTION - Provide utilization data & measurement characteristic
                 data for a valid channel path in the channel subsystem
     NOTES:
     -  This record is generated for a valid channel path defined
        in the channel subsystem only when the Channel-Path
        Measurement Facility (CPMF) with extended channel measurements
        (MTRSYS_SYSECPMF is on) is installed on the system.
        If it isn't installed, but CPMF without extended channel
        measurements (MTRSYS_SYSCPMF is on) is installed, then the
        MRSYTCPM Monitor record will be generated instead of this one.
        If both are installed, CPMF with extended channel measurements
        (MRSYTEPM) will be used exclusively.
        A key difference between the two records is that an MRSYTCPM
        contains information for all chpids, while MRSYTEPM contains
        information for only one valid chpid.
     -  When VM is running native, this record will be
        generated only when the Channel-Path Measurement
        Facility with extended channel measurements is installed.
     -  When VM is running in an LPAR in Multiple Image Facility
        mode, physical channel paths may be shared with other
        partitions. The data provided in this record represents
        channel utilization attributable to the logical partition
        in which VM is running (as well as data for the whole CPC).
     -  When VM is running second level, the Channel-Path
        Measurement Facility with extended channel measurements
        is not installed.  Thus this record will not be generated.
     -  SYTEPM_CALOFST1 should always be used to locate the
        Channel Utilization Entry (SYTEPM_ECMENTRY) area.
     -  SYTEPM_CALOFST2 should always be used to locate the
        Channel Measurement Characteristics (SYTEPM_CSCCMCBD) area.
     -  A channel utilization entry is constructed independently, on a
        schedule chosen by the channel subsystem (CSS), rather than
        at the monitor sample interval. Thus, the analysis program
        must look at the timestamp and data in a channel utilization
        entry, subtract from them the corresponding values in
        the previous record, and then divide to get the data
        as a fraction of the interval between the two samplings
        *by the CSS* of that channel path's statistics. Two
        consequences of this extra "layer" of sampling are:
        1) Reducing the monitor sample interval will not necessarily
        give finer-grained statistics for channel path usage.
        2) Depending on when the monitor samples occur with respect
        to the channel subsystem's samples, the intervals between
        successive records may vary substantially. For example,
        if the channel subsystem samples every 5 seconds and monitor
        writes a sample record every 8 seconds, then on average,
        three out of five times, the difference between monitor
        records will represent 5 seconds of channel-path activity,
        and the other two out of five times, the difference will
        represent 10 seconds of activity.
        Finally, note that the timestamp and data for the
        channel path might be identical to that in the previous
        record, if the CSS has not updated the information in the
        interval. In this case, there is effectively no interval
        reported on between this pair of records, a later record
        with a different timestamp must be used to compute usage
        for the channel path.
     -  If the SYTEPM_CALINIT bit is ON, then the entry represents the
        start of a new reporting "epoch" for the channel path. A
        discontinuity in the timer values may have occurred since
        the sample in the previous SYTEPM record. That is, the
        timestamp and data in this entry are valid, but are not
        related to the corresponding values in the previous monitor
        record. The values in this record can only be used as a
        starting point for the interval between this record and the
        one after it. No information can be deduced about the
        activity during the period between the time of the previous
        record's sample for this channel path and that of this
        record's sample.
     -  The first valid channel utilization entry recorded for each
        channel path will always have SYTEPM_CALINIT ON in the
        channel measurement characterisitics.
     -  The data is this record contains information specific to the
        channel measurement group (CMG) type. To determine the CMG
        type look at SYTEPM_CSCCMCMG field. This value determines the
        contents and format of the CMG-dependent channel-measurement-
        characteristics area (SYTEPM_CSCCMCMD), and the contents and
        format of the channel-utilization entry for the associated
        channel path (SYTEPM_ECMCMGD).
