We have two ESS-800s running at different sites.  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.

Thanks, Laura Prill
