The RMF guide describes the "Working Set" to include frames backing Dataspaces 
and Hiperspaces. I assume the "Frame Occupancy" does only include address space 
frames. Is this correct?


The RMF manual is not clear about this. My assumption is based on the fact that 
I do see entries with much higher "Active Frames WSET" than "Frame Occupancy", 
and I do know that the job is using Dataspaces.



Are shared Dataspace and Hiperspace frames counted for the onwing address 
space, only? Assume address space A (AS-A) creates some Dataspace (DS-A) and 
shares it with AS-B. AS-A stores 2MB of data into DS-A. At that time 500 frames 
are assigned to the Dataspace and counted in AS-A's WSET number. Assume some 
frames get stolen from the Dataspace. Some time later, AS-B accesses the all 
data in DS-A, i.e. all 500 frames are needed, leading to page-in of the once 
stolen pages.

To whom are those frames accounted? True or False?
- The ones not stolen had been counted for AS-A when AS-A initially wrote into 
DS-A.
- The ones not stolen are *not* counted for AS-B when accessing DS-A.
- The ones now paged-in are counted for the *owing* AS-A.
- The ones now paged-in are *not* counted for AS-B when accessing DS-A.
