Re: RMF III hourly snap shot

[Michael Oujesky]

food for thought:  while the RMF III data stores are internally 
compressed, there appears to be some opportunity for reducing the 
archived data set's physical size.  In testing a sample data store, 
REPRO of it to a SMS generic compression file saw a reduction of 38% 
and tailored compression saw a reduction of 55%.  Testing of zEDC 
remains to be done, but from past experience, I would guess the 
compression to be 70%-80%.


Note that these would have to be restored to VSAM format for the RMF 
III ISPF dialog to work against them.  Inventorying the contents of 
either the VSAM or non-VSAM format can be done by processing the 
first physical record in the file (DSIG3 - Data Set Index, not 
compressed) which contains the from/to date/time stamps of the 
MINTIME sample sets within the data store.  If need be, following 
that will be the service policy (un-compressed SVPG3 data structure) 
in effect when recording started to the data store.

They can be restored and added to the RMF III collector (aka RMFGAT) for
viewing . As reflectors mentioned, you can use the ISPF dialog to view the
data, but lately I have been using the RMF web portal which displays much
more information out of the box.

RMF III SMF or VSAM data store?  for the VSAM data store, the ISPF 
diaglog ought to be available.

Hello

Is it possible to take RMF III - options on hourly snapshot to a PS file or
GDG ? Reason why I want is that recently we had an outage due to memory
issues and I wanted to go back and analyse the memory usage.

Any pointers are much appreciated

You can always run rmf in batch

Or you can probably set up offloads in batch

Should be documented in the rmf manuals

Remember data is collected in SMF 70 - 79 records

Hello

Is it possible to take RMF III - options on hourly snapshot to a PS file or GDG 
? Reason why I want is that recently we had an outage due to memory issues and 
I wanted to go back and analyse the memory usage.

Any pointers are much appreciated

RMF III hourly snap shot

Hello

Is it possible to take RMF III - options on hourly snapshot to a PS file or
GDG ? Reason why I want is that recently we had an outage due to memory
issues and I wanted to go back and analyse the memory usage.

Any pointers are much appreciated
