You might find the RMF Spreadsheet Reporter useful especially the I/O reports. It can help distill the RMF reports to something you can look at. It is free and probably won't take you more than a couple hours to get going from scratch.

Each ESS is conncected to a local z800 processor. Each device has access to four FICON channels. Each device is using PAVs. For one site, the RMF Channel Path Activity report is showing substantially higher channel activity than for the other site. The times of the high channel activity are well aligned with a testing schedule, but I would like to further narrow down what is causing the extra activity. I was hoping to correlate the times of high channel activity to information in the RMF Direct Access Device Activity report to compare how busy the volumes are, and which volumes are the busiest, to determine which datasets may be involved in the differences in channel utilization between sites. So far, I haven't seen any correlation between raw values on the DASD Activity Report and CHPID activity values. Is it possible to do what I am trying to do? Is there something better to look at than the RMF DASD Activity Report? If anyone has had to do anything like this before, any ideas would be appreciated.
