The coupling facility activity report (use SYSRPTS(CF) in your RMF™ options
to get this) is in three parts:
- Usage summary
This summary has the following information:
- What structures are in use
- Whether they are list, lock, or cache structures
- The space used
- The number of requests
- XES structure activity
This report shows you, by structure,
the number of requests (both synchronous and asynchronous), the service
time, and the number of requests that were delayed. The following
key indicators in the structure-activity report that could alert you
to configuration problems:
- More directory entries than data entries
- High number of directory reclaims
- High number of cross-invalidations
- Synchronous requests changed to asynchronous
- Low number of successful reads compared to writes
- Subchannel activity
Key indicators in this report follow:
- High degree of subchannels busy
- Number of subchannels used less than the number defined in the
IOCDS
