Specifies cache activity measurement. When you specify CACHE, or allow the default value to take effect, RMF™ gathers activity data for cache control units (there is no support for 3880 control units).

Cache controller data is gathered by individual device address. There is no indication of which system in the sysplex initiates a recorded event. Therefore, the data can be gathered on any system sharing the cached devices.
Note: To avoid unnecessary high CPU utilization and duplicated data, you should gather cache activity data on one system only. Refer to "Example that shows how to set up gathering options" in Generalizing parmlib members, which shows how to set up gathering options.

To suppress the gathering of cache data, specify NOCACHE.
