Running Jobs (previously Job Status During Interval)

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This report combines information from all the type 30 subtypes to show job status and resource consumption during the report period.

 

The status can be reported as Started, Ended, Running or Complete.

 

Started - The job started during the interval, and was still running at the end of the interval. One of the following was found:

oa job start record

oa record from step 1 and the start time was during the interval

oa subtype 5 record and the job start time was during the interval

but no job end record was found

Ended - The job was running at the beginning of the interval, and ended during the interval. A job end record was found but no start record.

Running - The job was running for the whole interval. Only interval or step end records were found.

Complete - The job started and ended during the interval. Both start and end records were found.

 

An accurate status depends on all the type 30 subtypes being collected - e.g. if you only collect subtype 5 records you will only see Ended or Complete entries. The interval must also be long enough to capture interval records, and more than one SMF interval to show resource consumption.

 

Information from the records is combined to show actual resources consumed during the interval.

Status

Started, Ended, Running or Complete.

 

Started: The job started during the interval and was still running at the end of the interval.

Ended - The job was running at the start of the interval, and ended during the interval.

Running - The job was running for the entire interval.

Complete - The job started and ended during the interval.

Class

The class the job was running in.

Started

The time the initiator selected the job (SMF30STD + SMF30SIT)

Ended

The time the job ended (SMF30DTE + SMF30TME from the subtype 5 record.)

Userid

The user id of the job. (SMF30RUD)

SMF Records

Count of the number of SMF records found for this job.

Service Class

Service class name. (SMF30SCN)

Report Class

Derived CPU

CPU time calculated from the TCB and SRB CPU service values.

This provides a more accurate value than the CPU time fields from the SMF 30 record, which are rounded to 1/100th of a second.

The value includes Normalized zAAP and zIIP time which means that the value will exceed the total of actual CP + zAAP + zIIP time if the zAAP/zIIP is faster than the regular CP.

TCB Time

Standard CPU time (SMF30CPT)

SRB Time

SRB CPU time (SMF30CPS)

CP Time

General purpose CPU time (SMF30CPT + SMF30CPS)

IFA Time

IFA (zAAP) CPU time (SMF30_TIME_ON_IFA)

IIP Time

zEDC Time

zEDC execution time (SMF30_US_ExecTime)

Enq Promoted Time

CPU time while enqueue promoted (SMF30CEPI)

Connect

EXCP

I/O blocks transferred. (SMF30TEP or SMF30TEX)

Service

Total Service Units (SMF30SRV)

User Key Audit

User key common storage auditing was active for this address space. The data for User Key CSA, User Key CADS and User Key CHANGKEY is only valid if this column is set (checked).

User Key CSA

Attempts were made to obtain user key CSA storage.

User Key CADS

Attempts were made to create a user key CADS (Common Area Data Space)

User Key CHANGKEY

Attempts were made to change the key of ESQA storage to a user key.

Restricted Use CSA

Attempts were made to use Restricted Use CSA (RUCSA)

 

* Δ Delta (change) values show the difference between the values at the start and end of the interval. They are calculated from fields that show maximum values (high water marks). The delta value is calculated as follows:

If the job started during the interval, the starting value is 0. Otherwise, the starting value is the value from the first SMF record.

If the job ended during the interval, the ending value is 0.

The ending value is updated by interval records.

If a step ends, the ending value is set to 0. Interval records from subsequent steps can increase it again.

The change is the end value - start value. The value can be negative for jobs or steps that were running when the interval started.

If a job started and ended during the interval, the change is 0.
