.-MINTIME(100)-. >>-+--------------+-------------------------------------------->< '-MINTIME(nnn)-'
Specifies, in seconds, the length of a time interval. At the end of this interval, the data gatherer combines all samples it has gathered into a set of samples. The samples combined at the end of each MINTIME interval can then be summarized and reported by the data reporter.
Use the same MINTIME value for all systems in the sysplex to enable correct sysplex reporting.
Valid MINTIME values range from 10 to 999. The default is 100. If you specify a value outside the valid range (10 to 999), RMF™ uses 999 seconds for values above the range and 10 seconds for values below the range. MINTIME is the smallest time interval the data reporter can report on.
See Synchronizing SMF recording intervals for more information about using MINTIME values to synchronize Monitor I and Monitor III recording intervals.
