Looking at RMF III STORF reports, I'm trying to understand what the report is telling me, especially the frame occupancy. It confuses me that field "Frame Occupancy Total" (short FOT hereafter) is described as being the *sum* of fields "Frame Occupancy Active" (short FOA) plus "Frame Occupancy Idle" (short FOI). Here is why... I understand at each sample RMF sees a job either active (using CPU) or idle (waiting for something). It looks at the number of frames and adds that to the corresponding field (and calculates the average over the interval). FOI is a subset of the FOA frames, right? if this is correct, then I'd expect FOA to always be higher than FOI (unless a lot of new frames have assigned to the job just after a sample and the job goes idle before the next sample). If FOI is a subset of FOA, what is the reason FOT = FOA + FOI? -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
