This table provides the Workload Manager (WLM) service class information for the selected service class period over the recent historical period. There is one row of data per an RMF Monitor III reporting interval or group of RMF Monitor III intervals.
Active Time The execution time in seconds to microsecond precision. For CICS transactions, active time is the execution time in AOR, only for routed transactions. For IMS transactions, active time is the execution time within the MPR. For Batch, TSO, etc., active time is the average time that transactions spent in execution. A valid value is a number to six decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Actual Velocity/Percentile (RMF metric) The service class period actual velocity. If service class period goal is Velocity, this is the actual velocity achieved. If the service class period goal is Percentile Response Time, this is the percentage of transactions that completed at or less than the response time goal. A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Avg Exec Time (deprecated) (RMF metric) The service class period average execution time in milliseconds to one decimal place (tenths of milliseconds). For CICS transactions, this includes execution time in AOR and following regions. For IMS transactions, this includes execution time within the MPR. For Batch, TSO, and so on, this is the average time that transactions spent in execution. A valid value is a number to three decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
In the Average Response Time columns, zeros will be displayed for server service classes in most cases because their transactions are address spaces, and response times are available only for ended transactions. So there are only numbers when one of the address spaces in that service class ends, or is RESET via operator command.
Avg Resp Time (deprecated) (RMF metric) The service class period average response time, in milliseconds to one decimal place (tenths of milliseconds). A valid value is a number to three decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Avg Resp Time (secs) (RMF metric) The average response time, in seconds to microsecond precision. A valid value is a number to six decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Avg Wait Time (deprecated) (RMF metric) The service class period average wait time. A valid value is a number to three decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
The average time (in seconds) that a transaction spent waiting because of one of these reasons:
The time a job was delayed due to TYPRUN=HOLD or TYPRUN=JCLHOLD is NOT included in any of the transaction times.
In all other cases, this is the average time that transactions spent waiting on a JES or APPC queue. Also note that queue time may not always be meaningful, depending on how the customer schedules work. For example, if a customer submits jobs in hold status and leaves them until they are ready to be run, all of the held time counts as queued time. That time may or may not represent a delay to the job.
In the Average Response Time columns, zeros will show up for server service classes in most cases, because theirtransactions are address spaces, and response times are available only for ended transactions. So there are only numbers, when one of the address spaces in that service class ends, or is RESET via operator command.
Class Type The class type, where 'R' is Report Class and 'S' is Service Class. A valid value is a string of up to 1 characters. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
Critical Storage/CPU Indicates whether storage, CPU or both are critical. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
Definition Min Max Capacity The unit of measure for minimum and maximum capacity. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
Duration (RMF metric) The service class period goal duration. Service class period duration in unweighted CPU service units (that means, not multiplied with the service coefficients) per second. A duration is required in all but the last service class period. For single periods or for the last period of multiple periods this value is always zero. A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Goal Importance (RMF metric) The service class period importance. This describes the level of importance assigned to a service class period. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
If discretionary was specified as the goal type, this is indicated by a D in this column, since an importance cannot be defined for a discretionary goal.
Goal Percentile (RMF metric) The service class period percentile goal. If Goal Type is Percentile Response Time, this is the percent of transactions that should meet the Response Goal value desired. Otherwise this column is zero. A valid value is an integer. The range for this value is from 0 to 100. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Goal Type (RMF metric) The type of goal for the service class period. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
Goal Value (RMF metric) The response time goal in seconds to microsecond precision. A valid value is a number to six decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Goal Value (deprecated) (RMF metric) The service class period response time goal. If Goal Type is either Average Response Time or Percentile Response Time this is the response time value desired. Otherwise this column is blank. A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Honor Priority Indicates whether specialty engine eligible work in this service class was prevented from being offloaded to CPs for help processing. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
Include Specialty Engines Include specialty processor consumption. A valid value is an integer. Values appear on the workspace as follows:
Ineligible Queue Time Ineligible queue time in seconds to microsecond precision. The average time a job was delayed due to operational delays or JES scheduling delays. Examples are:
JCL Conversion Time JCL conversion time in seconds to microsecond precision. Jobs held during conversion (due to affinity, HSM recall, or enqueue contention) contribute only to conversion time, not to ineligible or Res/Sys affinity times. Conversion time is not part of the total response time. A valid value is a number to six decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Managed System The z/OS operating system in your enterprise that an OMEGAMON for z/OS agent is monitoring. A valid value is a string of up to 32 characters.
Max Memory Limit GB (RMF metric) The maximum memory limit in gigabytes (GB). A valid value is an integer. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Max Service Rate Capacity (RMF metric) The maxiumum service rate capacity. A valid value is a number to two decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Memory Used Actual (RMF metric) The actual memory used. A valid value is a long long integer. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Min Service Rate Capacity (RMF metric) The minimum service rate capacity. A valid value is a number to two decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Performance Index (RMF metric) The service class period performance index. A valid value is a number to two decimal places accuracy. The range for this value is from 0 to 100.00. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
Period (RMF metric) The service class period number. A valid value is an integer. The range for this value is from 1 to 8.
Queued Time The time in seconds, to microsecond precision, that this is queued. For CICS, this may be the queue time for transactions within the TOR, AOR, and other regions, and also processing time within the TOR. For IMS, this may be the queue time for transactions within the MPR and also processing time within the CTL region. In all other cases, this is the average time that transactions spent waiting on a JES or APPC queue. Note: Queue time may not always be meaningful, depending on how you schedule work. For example, jobs are submitted in hold status and left until they are ready to be run, all of the held time counts as queued time. This time may or may not represent a delay to the job. A valid value is a number to six decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
R/S Affinity Time The average time the job was delayed due to resource or system affinity scheduling. The resources required for the job to run were not available at some point while the job was queued to JES2. A valid value is a number to six decimal places accuracy. A value of -1 indicates "Unavailable".
