    >>>>>>>>>> POSTPROCESSOR CACHE ACTIVITY REPORT <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    
    The Postprocessor Cache Activity report is enhanced to report
    synchronous I/O cache request statistics.
    
    Added report fields in a new SYNCH I/O ACTIVITY section:
    
    SYNCH I/O ACTIVITY
    REQ/SEC    The average number of synchronous I/O read and
               write requests per second.
    HITS/REQ   Ratio of cache hits for synchronous I/O read and
               write requests.
    
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> POSTPROCESSOR ESS REPORT <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    
    The Postprocessor Enterprise Disk Systems report is

    synchronous I/O operations on defined synchronous I/O
    links in a new ESS Synchronous I/O Link Statistics report
    section.
    
    Fields in the new report section:
