Collection Services data files: QAPMJOBWTG

This database file contains information about job, task, and thread current wait conditions that is not available in the QAPMJOBWT file.

One record will be written for each job, task, or thread that did not consume CPU during the interval – those that are not reported in QAPMJOBWT.
Field Name Description Attribute
INTNUM Interval number: The nth sample database interval based on the start time specified in the Create Performance Data (CRTPFRDTA) command. PD (5,0)
JWTDE System task identifier. This field can be used as a join field with QAPMJOBMI and field JBTDE to obtain information about the job associate with this record. X (8)
JWCURE Reserved. B (9,0)
JWCURT Current Wait Time: The time in microseconds the job has spent in the current wait (total time since the wait began, see note 1). B (18,0)
JWCURINT Current Wait Time this interval: The time in microseconds the job has spent waiting during this interval. (See note 1) B (9,0)
JWDSEQ Description sequence number: Identifies the QAPMJOBWTD records associated with this wait data. B (4,0)
JWCURB Current Counter Set (bucket): If this field is non-zero and positive, it indicates the job is currently waiting and which counter set is associated with the current wait. If this field is zero, wait state information is not available for this job (for example, for the job which has terminated in this interval). In rare cases a value of -1 indicates the data was not obtainable when sampled. B (4,0)
Note:
  1. If job data was collected on a release prior to V6R1, the collected data does not contain sufficient information for the wait gap file:
    • Records are only written for the jobs which eventually ran during the collection. Jobs which never ran during collection will not be represented.
    • Total wait in this wait state (JWCURT field) is estimated and should not be viewed as an accurate measurement.
