SM2 screen output

The monitoring task collects monitored data during an online monitoring cycle, edits it, and enters it in the central buffer when the online monitoring cycle is completed.

From the central buffer, each SM2 user task transfers the data into its own buffer and enters it in output forms called reports.

These monitored data reports can then either be output at regular intervals throughout the output cycle (automatic output mode), or can be requested individually by the user (controlled mode). See section “Statements for controlling reports” in chapter "Statements for nonprivileged users".

In addition, SM2 information screens are available, some in the administration facility only and others in the analysis subinterval and the administration facility. Instead of monitored data, these contain information on the monitoring process and on the status of SM2. The following information screens can be output at the request of the user:

• MEASUREMENT STATUS

• USER MEASURED OBJECTS

• DEFINED PARAMETER

• ACTIVE PARAMETER

• STATUS TABLE

• SELECTED HOSTS

SM2 reports

The monitored data is broken down into factually related groups and entered in various reports. The following reports may be output without the SM2 administrator having to activate an optional monitoring program.

Report	Meaning
ACF report	Overview of activation control of system task management
ACTIVITY report	Overview of the overall system load
CATEGORY QUEUE report	Overview of the queue occupancy of all categories
CATEGORY WSET report	Overview of the working sets of all categories
CHANNEL report	Overview of the current channel occupancy.

UTM report	Overview of the consumption statistics for UTM applications and detailed values for the individual applications in the UTM APPLICATION report
VM report	Overview of the values of guest systems of a VM2000 system
VM CPU POOL report	Overview of the monitored data for CPU pools
VM GROUP report	Overview of the values of VM groups

SM2 information screens

The information screens are special in that they contain no monitored data, but provide information on the monitoring run and on the SM2 status. These screens are only output if explicitly requested by the user.

The first two screens listed are available in both the analysis subinterval and the administration facility. The others are only available to privileged users in the administration facility.

Screen	Information
MEASUREMENT STATUS	Overview of all defined and active monitoring programs
USER MEASURED OBJECTS	Overview of user-monitored objects
DEFINED PARAMETER	Overview of the monitoring parameters and monitored objects defined for the individual monitoring programs
ACTIVE PARAMETER	Output of the monitoring parameters and monitoring objects valid for the active monitoring programs
STATUS TABLE	Status of the SM2 system tasks and of the subsystems used by SM2
SELECTED HOSTS	Overview of the hosts selected using the SELECT-HOSTS tatement

Displaying follow-up screens to information screens

Entry	Meaning
'+' or key [K3] or [DUE]	Page forward
'-' or key [K1]	Page backward (if you page backward from the first page, the first page is output again)
'--'	Page back to the first page
'END'	Terminate output of follow-on screens

All other entries have the same effect as +.
The scroll commands can also be used to output the information screens of various hosts.

It is not possible to page in batch and procedure modes. All follow-on screens are always output, but no overflow screens.

The header line of each screen contains global information, namely:

CYCLE	Duration of the (online) monitoring cycle in seconds, i.e. period after which the collected values are available for output
SAMPLES	Number of samples taken within the (online) monitoring cycle

These values are output if they are relevant to the current screen.

The host name is output in the top left-hand corner.

The date and time are output in the top right-hand corner of the screen. In the case of monitored data reports, this is the point at which the last (online) monitoring cycle was terminated. For all other screens, it is the current time when the screen is output.

In the screens which concern the host network (GLOBAL, NSM, SHARED-PUBSET), the header line displays the data of the first host listed in the report or of the first selected host.If the list of selected hosts contains the local host, this host is always the first one in the list. The remaining hosts appear in the order in which they were specified by the user in the SELECT-HOSTS statement.

Representation of values in SM2 output screens

The string ***** or blanks are output in place of a value if no value is available.

The string <<<<< is output if computation is not possible. The string >digit digit digit ... is output if the value does not fit into the available space.

Terminal emulations on the PC

In the case of terminal emulations on t he PC (e.g. MT9750), the character set “International” must be set in the keyboard configuration in order to output the delimiter “|”.

1	The associated SAMPLING-DEVICE monitoring program is started when the SM2 subsystem is started.

This sequence is maintained even if the user has suppressed output of some reports. The suppressed records are simply skipped without any time being lost. The same applies to output in controlled mode.

The reports of a given monitoring cycle can be requested in the above sequence. The data of the next monitoring cycle is output only after the last record of the preceding cycle has been output.

The reports are listed in alphabetical order in the following description.
