Good Day,
Thanks for the feedback from both of you. You gave me useful tips that I can act upon. This week I will experiment with the following approach: The settings will be changed to have extended summary data saved to "systemid FCXSUMMnn" on a 10 minutes interval. I will copy and rename these files regularly on another minidisk. That will become some kind of extended archive. I want to stay away from processing raw monitor data as much as possible. Later I will be able to get other fields information besides CPU seconds currently. Then, I will see what I can extract using REXX and/or PIPELINE to extract information from 'FC41' records (by userid) and 'FC42' records (by user class). I already have the REXX code to convert simple floating point fields. (C2F). I will have to find or create some code to convert the TOD field. (That should not be too hard) I will keep you and this list informed on my progress.

Good day, I am trying to do something that seems to me a good challenge to do with z/VM performance toolkit. The end result that I want to have is a set of records for a selected number of userids. Each record would be for a 10 minutes interval. format: yyyymmdd hhmm userid cpusec That means I would create 24 x 6 = 144 records per day per virtual machine. Accumulating that over many months, I can load that data in my favorite spreadsheet and do all kind of numerical analysis. I am trying to use z/VM Performance Toolkit to help me to do that and I am stuck! The best I could do was to use plotvar with trend files. However, that is too much aggregated for my need. I welcome your suggestions.
