      COPYRIGHT (C) 1998 MERRILL CONSULTANTS DALLAS TEXAS USA           
                                                                        
           =====    What's Really Hot in MXG 15.15    =====             
                                                                        
   The really big features in MXG, aside from the hundreds of new       
   software product versions that are now supported, PTFs, etc,         
   are the externalization of the DDname for each PDB dataset into      
   &PDByyyy macro variables, for ease in tailoring BUILDPDB, and the    
   &MACxxxx macro variables now defined in each VMACxxxx member that    
   permit you to re-define the _L and _K macros that are defined in the 
   IMACxxxx members in your USERID.SOURCLIB; now you can change the IMAC
   tailoring library macro definitions on the fly, without an EDIT!     
   See the text of Changes 15.356 and 15.320 for full details.          
                                                                        
   Not all of the externalization of the IMACxxxx tailoring has been    
   delivered in MXG 15.15.  I am still developing _Syyyyyy SORT macros  
   for each dataset, and _Eyyyyyy exit macros to override the EXyyyyyy  
   dataset exit members, and will then replace the hardcoded PROC SORTs 
   in BUILDPDB with their corresponding _Syyyyyy macro, but that's still
   work in progress.                                                    
                                                                        
   More ADOCxxxx members exist now, but most new ones have only DOCVER's
   short contents.  However, now I can implement automatic update of new
   variables in each ADOC member, preserving other documentation in each
   member, and will expand the documentation to include the member that 
   creates each data set, sort order, etc., as time permits.            
                                                                        
   See member CHANGES in MXG 15.15 for any last minute additions after  
   the newsletter printing and the software building, or better still,  
   see the CHANGES section of our homepage, www.MXG.com, which is always
   the first place to look for MXG Software status.  While you are there
   please subscribe to the MXG-L ListServer; it is my primary method of 
   software announcements, and many fine technical discussions among MXG
   users have occurred on MXG-L (you can read them from the archives!).

 1. Measurement of CPU Utilization in PR/SM,MDF,MLPF environments.      
                                                                        
   This note was written for ACHAP10, "Processor Utilization".          
                                                                        
   The ASUM70PR dataset is built from the TYPE70PR detail data using    
     %INCLUDE SOURLIB(ASUM70PR);   as shown in JCLPDB6 example.  There  
   is one observation in ASUM70PR from each MVS SYSTEM for each RMF     
   Interval, and that observation describes the utilization of each of  
   the LPARS, and their sum, which is the hardware busy of the platform.
      If you have multiple MVS Systems, and if you process their SMF    
      data together, then duplicate data will exist in ASUM70PR, since  
      SYSA's type 70 record will describe all LPARs, and SYSB's type 70 
      will also describe all LPARs, so you must select only one set of  
      observations (from SYSA or from SYSB) to avoid duplication.       
                                                                        
   For each partition, the Partition Dispatch Time and the Effective    
   Dispatch Time (and their difference, the CPU time when this partition
   was dispatched for LPAR management of this partition) are recorded.  
   There is also a "pseudo" partition named "PHYSICAL" that exists only 
   in the RMF type 70 record that records the LPAR management dispatch  
   time that could not be charged to a specific partition.

      LPnUPDTM  - Partition Dispatch Duration for LPAR n.               
      LPnUEDTM  - Partition Effective Dispatch Duration for LPAR n.     
      LPnMGTTM  - LPnUPDTM minus LPnUEDTM, this partition management.   
      LPPUPDTM  - Physical partition dispatch duration.                 
      PARTNCPU  - Number of engines in this platform.                   
      PCTCPUBY  - Percent CPUs were Busy in all LPARS, equal to the sum 
                  of all partition's (including PHYSICAL) dispatch time,
                  minus HiperDispatch Parked Time, divided by the Total 
                  "capacity" of all ONLINE, NON-PARKED engines:         
                  100*CPUACTTM/(NRCPUS*DURATM).  This is the percent    
                  of the total capacity of the box that was used.  If   
                  the Average NRCPUS is 5.5, and CPUACTTM was 4 hours   
                  in a one hour interval, PCTCPUBY would be 72% busy.   
      PCTLnBY   - Percent "Physically" Busy in LPAR n, equal to the LPAR
                  Dispatch time divided by the Total "capacity" of all  
                  engines in the box:  100*LPnUPDTM/(PARTNCPU*DURATM).  
                  If an LPAR was dispatched for 1 hour, and the CEC has 
                  5 engines, then PCTLnBY for that LPAR would be 20%,   
                  because that LPAR used 20% of the hardware platform.  
      PCTLnOV   - Percent "Physically" Busy in "LPAR Overhead" in this  
                  LPAR, 100*LPnMGTTM/(PARTNCPU*DURATM).                 
      LPnNRPRC  - Number of engines available to LPAR n.                
      LPnDUR    - LPAR n's "Up time" or "Availability time to execute   
                  CPU", the sum of DURATM across all LCPUs in LPAR n,   
                  or LPnDUR=LPnNPRC*DURATM.  This is the duration when  
                  this LPAR could have been dispatched.  If the LPAR was
                  IPL'd as a 3-engine MVS machine, in one hour, it would
                  have 3 hours of "Up Time" (or 3 hours of "capacity"). 
      LPCTnBY   - Percent "Logically" Busy in LPAR n, equal to the LPAR 
                  Dispatch time for the partition divided by the LPAR's 
                  "Up Time", 100*LPnUPDTM/LPnDUR.  If a 3-engine LPAR   
                  was dispatched for 60 minutes in one hour, its LPCTnBY
                  would be 33%.  This variable describes the percent of 
                  LPAR capacity, in contrast to variable PCTLnBY which  
                  describes the percent of Hardware Platform capacity.  
                  If that same 3-engine LPAR was executing on a 5-engine
                  CEC, PCTLnBY would be 20%, because that LPAR used 20% 
                                                                        
                  of the hardware platform, while LPCTnBY is 33% of the 
                  CPU time available to this LPAR.                      
      LPnCAP    - 'Y' if this partition is capped.                      
      LPnCHG    - 'Y' if something changed in LPAR n.                   
      LPnDED    - 'Y' if this partition has all-dedicated-CPUs.         
      LPCTnOV   - Percent "Logically" Busy in "LPAR Overhead"           
                  100*LPnMGTTM/LPnDUR, describes how much of the        
                  Dispatch Duration was for management of this LPAR.

    The following example is real data from a 5-engine CEC (Central     
    Electronic Complex, the preferred name for a platform).  This CEC   
    has three LPARs: LP1 has two engines (and is lightly used), LP2 has 
    five engines, and LP3 has three engines.  All CPUs are shared and   
    Wait Completion is No.  One hourly observation in ASUM70PR showed:

             PCTCPUBY  93.53%     - CPUACTTM as a percent of hardware   
             PCTOVHD    5.20%     - CPUOVHTM as a percent of hardware   
             PCTPOV     2.22%     - LPPUPDTM as a percent of hardware

             LPnMGTTM        1:53.03        3:50.02        3:12.07      
             LPCT1BY      4.02%          71.04%         31.10%          
             LPCT1OV      1.57%           1.28%          1.78%          
             PCTL1BY      1.61%          71.04%         18.66%          
             PCTL1OV       .63%           1.28%          1.07%          
                                                                        
             The LP2 has the same PCTL2BY as LPCT2BY because it can use 
             all five engines, and its logical and physical utilization 
             are the same.  The LP3, with only three engines available  
             to its MVS, shows it is using 18.66% of the five hardware  
             engines (PCTL3BY), while LPCT3BY shows that this actually  
             is 31.1% of the CPU time possible for those three logical  
             CPUs available to LP3.                                     
                                                                        
    The dispatch time measurements in ASUM70PR are always accurate in   
    describing the total platform busy and each LPARs use of the total, 
    because when an LPAR is dispatched, its processors are not available
    to any other LPAR, and thus ASUM70PR does report platform capacity. 
                                                                        
    Furthermore, if all CPUs are shared and Wait Completion is No, the  
    ASUM70PR dispatch duration is the actual CPU busy time, so not only 
    is the total platform capacity known, but also the utilization of   
    individual LPARs is measured in ASUM70PR.                           
                                                                        
                                                                        
    The problem arises when CPUs are Dedicated to an LPAR, or when Wait 
    Complete = Yes is used, because the dispatch time in those cases is 
    NOT equal to the CPU executing time.  While a dispatch time of one  
                                                                        
    hour does mean that one hour of total platform capacity was used by 
    an LPAR, (i.e., not available to other LPARs), the actual CPU time  
    used by that LPAR may be a lot less than one hour.  What we need is 
    the Wait time measured inside each MVS system, which is in the MVS  
    TYPE70 dataset, but each type 70 record only has a single TYPE70    
    segment (for the LPAR in which this MVS System executed); we do not 
    get a TYPE70 segment for the other LPARs.  But MXG does store the   
    MVS Wait Time from the TYPE70 segment into variable ORIGWAIT in the 
    TYPE70PR observation for each LCPUADDR, which shows this data:

    This LPAR has two LCPUs, Wait Complete=Yes, but due to the other    
    LPAR on this platform (that was also using Wait Complete=Yes), the  
    LCPU=0 was dispatched for only 8 minutes of the 15 minute interval, 
    while LCPU=1 was dispatched for all 15 minutes.  The ORIGWAIT from  
    TYPE70 shows that LCPU=0 was actually CPU Busy for only 3 minutes,  
    and LCPU=1 was actually CPU Busy for only 4 minutes.                
                                                                        
    While there are only two LCPUs for this LPAR, this LPAR is in a     
    platform that has four engines, so the ASUM70PR calculation is:     
        PCTL2BY = (8 disp +  15 disp )/ (4*15) = 23/60 = 38%            
    because 38% of the dispatch capacity of the four engines in the     
    hardware platform was consumed by this LPAR in this interval.       
                                                                        
    However, RMF in its CPU Activity Report calculates two percentages  
    (and MXG replicates in both TYPE70 and TYPE70PR data):              
                                                                        
    PCTCPUBY = "LPAR Busy Time" = (3 busy + 4 busy) / (2 * 15)   = 23%  
                                                                        
    PCTMVSBY = "MVS Busy Time"  = (10 busy+lparwait + 4 busy)/30 = 48%  
                                                                        
    The "LPAR Busy Time" shows that this LPAR was busy for 7 of the 30  
    minutes that the two engines in the LPAR could have been executing, 
    and thus is a measure of how busy the MVS system might have been.   
                                                                        
    However, the "MVS Busy Time" calculated by IBM is at best confusing 
    and at worst wrong, for Wait Completion = Yes LPARs, because it     
    calculates the MVS busy time as DURATM minus ORIGWAIT, adding the 3 
    minutes busy and 7 minutes of LPAR wait from LCPU=0 to the 4 minutes
    busy from LCPU=1 to conclude 14 minutes of "busy time" out of the   
    30 minutes that the two engines could have been executing, for 48%! 
                                                                        
    But the MVS SRM never saw those possible 30 minutes of execution; it
    was dispatched for only 8 + 15 = 23 minutes, so a far more accurate 
    measure is "SRM Busy Time", the busy time over the dispatched time: 
                                                                        
                                                                        
    PCTSRMBY = "SRM Busy Time" = (3 busy + 4 busy) / 23 (dispatch) = 30%
                                                                        
    which more accurately reflects what MVS can do with Wait Comp=Yes,  
    and it strongly suggests that the IBM "MVS Busy Time" is wrong for  
    Wait Comp=Yes.                                                      
                                                                        
       (The example used the Partition Dispatch times, but to be        
        slightly more precise, using the Effective Dispatch times would 
        show what was delivered to MVS.  I am still deciding if I should
        create a new variable for PCTSRMBY, but want to send this       
        preliminary note to MXG-L, so I will update this part of this   
        note at a later date.)

    For all the three LCPUs in this LPAR, MXG calculates in ASUM70PR:   
      PCTL5BY = 100* ( 26.5 / 4*15) = 100 * 26.5 /60  = 44.37%          
    because the total dispatch time of the three LCPUs was 26.5 minutes 
    of the possible 60 minutes of dispatch time in the four engines of  
    the platform, and this is this LPAR's use of dispatch capacity.     
                                                                        
    But if we have the TYPE70PR observation from the system that has the
    ORIGWAIT measurement from TYPE70 for that dedicated LCPU, we can see
    the LPAR's total CPU busy time was only 11:48 + 5:48 + 5:49, or 22.5
    minutes, since 3 minutes of that dispatch time was in MVS wait time!
                                                                        
    The IBM RMF calculations for each LCPU and the total for all three  
    LCPUs in this LPAR show:

    For the Dedicated LCPU, both PCTCPUBY and PCTMVSBY are calculated   
      PCTCPUBY=PCTMVSBY= 100*(DURATM-ORIGWAIT)/DURATM  = 78.7%          
      PCTMVSBY=PCTCPUBY= 100*(DURATM-ORIGWAIT)/DURATM  = 78.7%          
                                                                        
    For the Shared, Non-Wait LCPUs, the "LPAR Busy Time" is             
      PCTCPUBY= 100*LCPUPDTM/DURATM = 38.7%                             
    but the IBM calculation for the "MVS Busy Time" is                  
      PCTMVSBY= 100*(DURATM-ORIGWAIT)/DURATM = 43.8%                    
    because the PCTMVSBY value includes the 45 seconds of non-dispatched
    non-wait time recorded in the MVS Busy Time calculation!            
                                                                        
    Again, while PCTCPUBY is legitimate, PCTMVSBY raises more questions 
    than it answers.                                                    
                                                                        
    To summarize what percentages are printed where by IBM and reported 
    where by MXG, on RMF CPU Activity Report, the "LPAR Busy Time Perc" 
    is variable PCTCPUBY, and the "MVS Busy Time Perc" is variable      
    PCTMVSBY in dataset TYPE70 (and now in TYPE70PR as well).  On RMF's 
    Partition Data Report, IBM's "Logical Processors Total" is variable 
    LPCTnBY, and IBM's "Physical Processors Total" is PCTLnBY in dataset
    ASUM70PR for each LPAR, and the "Physical Processors Total" is the  
    variable PCTCPBUY in ASUM70PR.                                      
                                                                        
    Note:  I intend to revise this note as I learn more, especially for 
    Millennium and/or MDF, in the near future.  The purpose of this     
    much of the note was to document what is calculated by MXG and by   
    IBM when you try to compare RMF reports to MXG datasets, and to     
    point out basic problems if you have Dedicated or Wait Comp = YES.  
    Not only is there a problem in ASUM70PR in that we do not know the  
    true CPU busy time, we also have assumed the "capacity" was the     
    DURATM of the interval, but that is not always the case, especially 
    when LPAR weighting is taken into account.  No single percentage    
    value can be used, as it depends on your perspective.  ASUM70PR     
    reports usage percentages of the "dispatch" capacity, while TYPE70  
    still must be used to understand what is happening inside each MVS. 
                                                                        
 2. FAT32 file system reduces space needed for MXG from 139MB to 68MB.  
                                                                        
    On Windows 95 and Windows NT with FAT File Systems, the MXG Source  
    Library directory DIR command shows 3549 files totaling 57.7 MB,    
    but the files in that directory actually required 139.1 Megabytes   
    of disk space!  The 2GB disk drive with 32K cluster size wastes     
    space if the file is less than 32KBytes, and as only 272 of MXG's   
    source files are over 32K in size, the other 3277 small files waste 
    lots of disk space with large cluster size under FAT file systems.  
                                                                        
    Well that is a dead problem with the newer FAT32 file system that   
    virtually eliminates the space waste problem.  That same source     
    library required only 68.23 MegaBytes on a 9GB FAT32 disk drive!    
                                                                        
                                                                        
III. MVS Technical Notes.                                               
                                                                        
 1. APAR OW25609 corrects a stoppage of SMF type 30 interval records    
    (subtypes 2 & 3) and type 23 records, after a serialization problem.
    The APAR applies to MVS/4.3 thru OS/390 2.4.                        
                                                                        
 2. APAR OW28289 changes counts in type 30 variables TAPNMNTS/TAPSMNTS  
    (SMF30PTM/SMF30TPR).  In DF/SMS 1.2 and earlier, tape mount counts  
    were the number of physical mounts (actually, a count of volumes    
    that were verified by OPEN/CLOSE/EOV via a loadpoint read of the    
    VOL1 tape label).  That was changed by an SPE to DF/SMS 1.2.0 (which
    was included in DF/SMS 1.3.0 and 1.4.0); IBM decided instead to     
    count logical volumes (i.e., increment the mount count when OPEN    
    processing is entered with the tape drive in a ready state and with 
    the mounted volume at loadpoint).  A document change was prepared   
    but never distributed, and now IBM is backing out the SPE's effect, 
                                                                        
    and with this APAR, the counts revert to physical mount counts.  The
    APAR's text is confusing, because it lists PTFs for DF/SMS releases 
    1B0, 1C0, and 1D0, which turn out to be DFSMS 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4,    
    respectively.  If you depend on the count of tape mounts in type 30 
    records, you will want to apply this PTF.                           
                                                                        
 3. APAR OW28613 corrects errors in the JES2 Type 26 Purge record in the
    SMF26OAG Accounting Section offset.  I earlier thought MXG would not
    fail, but without that APAR, MXG offset validation was insufficient,
    an INPUT STATEMENT EXCEEDED occurs.  Now, Change 15.330 circumvents 
    the wrong value for SMF26OAG, but the ACCOUNTn fields in TYPE26J2   
    will be blank until you install to APAR to correct IBM's error.     
    Fortunately, MXG only uses the TYPE26J2 ACCOUNTn fields for jobs    
    that do not produce type 30s (JCL Errors or Cancel before start).   
                                                                        
 4. APAR OW28256 reports invalid CPU times measured (once again!) in RMF
    type 72 field SMF72RCT (MXG Variable CPURCTTM, which is summed into 
    variable CPUTM); PTF was available November 14 1997.  This causes   
    the total CPU time captured in type 72 records to exceed the total  
    CPU busy time, causing the Uncaptured CPU time (misnamed as CPUOVHTM
    and labeled as "Overhead") to be negative in RMFINTRV.  This same   
    field was in error in 1992, fixed then by APAR OY51878.  MXG now    
    detects the negative value and prints this error message on the log:
      "ERROR. NEGATIVE CPU-UNCAPTURED-TIME (TYPE70-TYPE72)".            
    See text of Change 15.238 for more details.                         
                                                                        
 5. APAR OW26619 for OS/390 V2.4, in Goal Mode corrects WLM errors found
    by IBM during final function test, and corrects SMF values.         
                                                                        
 6. APAR OW26421 for OS/390 V1.3 is needed only for ASMTAPES. In OS/390 
    IBM created two 4-byte fields for Y2K support to replace the 3-byte 
    fields JCTSSD and JCTJMRJD (step and job start/init dates), but I   
    missed that change, so ASMTAPES still used the 3-byte fields.  But  
    IBM also zeroed the 3-byte fields, which caused INVALID DATA when   
    TYPETMNT was executed, and variable INITTIME has missing value.     
    This APAR restores the dates in the 3-byte fields, so INITTIME will 
    not be missing.  The next maintenance level of the MXG ASMTAPES will
    avoid the exposure by using the 4-byte fields if they are present.  
                                                                        
 7. SYNCSORT 3.6 can ABEND 0C9 during a PROC SORT; SYNCSORT fix SY49930 
    is the correction.                                                  
                                                                        
 8. APAR OW30153 corrects type 30 Measured Usage (MULC) segments.  There
    are multiple occurrences of the same product name and qualifier for 
    PRODNAME=CICS PRODQUAL=DFHKETCB in the interval records that should 
    have had only a single segment.  There are still other errors that  
    are not addressed in creating the subtype 4 and subtype 5 records   
    from the interval records.  One CICS job had 39 DHFKETCB segments in
    its interval records (subtype 2 and 3), but had 37 segments in its  
    step termination record (subtype 4) and then had only 36 segments in
    its job termination record (subtype 5).  Further, the job had 12    
    DFHSIP segments in the interval records but had 16 segments in both 
    step and job terminate.  Finally, the job had 2 DFHDUP segments in  
    the job term but none in either the interval or step term records.  
    A new problem has been opened with IBM on this error.               
    Note that old APAR OW16176, which consolidates MULC sections for    
    each product, should be installed.  Increasing SMF buffers with     
    APAR OW12836 is also recommended to minimize the problems with SMF  
    buffers, and especially specification of DDCONS=NO in SMFPRMxx in   
    SYS1.PARMLIB is strongly recommended to eliminate the SMF address   
    algorithm to consolidate DD segments.                               
                                                                        
    Note added Dec 30, 1997:                                            
    APAR PN80497 corrects a problem after applying UN84065 with Measured
    Usage (MULC) that can create millions of type 30 subtype 3 records  
    with the same product name in the MULC segment.  The problem        
    occurred with an IMS BMP that used MQ Series.  The excess records   
    could cause IEE979W SMF DATA LOST - NO BUFFER SPACE AVAILABLE.      
                                                                        
 9. APAR OW30059 (PTF available 12Dec97) reports type 42 values for     
    Direct Write and Direct Read SMF42DWB/SMF42DRB and this APAR is     
    likely the fix that was originally described in note 26 in MVS      
    Technical Notes in MXG Newsletter THIRTY-TWO for APAR OW20926.      
    When the channel program did single CI reads and writes, residual   
    data was left in the counter that was not used.                     
                                                                        
10. APAR PQ09396 (Target 26Dec97) for MQSERIES SMF type 116 reports     
    inconsistencies between 115 and 116 record's statistics. The more   
    elaborate description (this text added Mar 27, 1998): The numbers   
    MQGET and MQPUT (MXG Variables QMACGETx and QMACPUTx in MQMACCT     
    dataset from 116 record) are significantly less than the totals     
    reported from 115 records, because the data fields containing the   
    116 records were incremented outside of latch control, which led    
    to the counts being cleared at the same time they were updated,     
    causing certain of the counts to be lost.  The PTF for this APAR    
    will update the fields containing the totals of MQI requests via a  
    CS instruction, hence they will be protected from being cleared     
    whilst being updated.                                               
                                                                        
11. APAR PQ09083 is for subtype '51'x of the FTP SMF record (VMACFTP).  
    The text mentions SMF Record Type 51, but there is no type 51 SMF   
    record (yet).  The APAR corrects missing values in variables        
    DVGSETME/DVGSEDTE in dataset FTP51X.                                
                                                                        
12. Job Accounting for Started Tasks became available with MVS/ESA 5.1, 
    because you can now have a JOB card in the JCL for your STC's, and  
    can put ACCOUNT parameters in that JOB card that show up in MXG's   
    ACCOUNTn variables in PDB.JOBS/PDB.PRINT/PDB.STEPS datasets.  The   
    JCL Reference Manual Sections 7.2, 7.3, and 16.7 discuss how.       
                                                                        
13. What happens to measurements if I have a Y2K Test System in an LPAR?
                                                                        
    You can use the ASUM70PR dataset and select the observations from   
    your production LPAR (SYSTM='PROD') to measure the Y2K Partition's  
    resources, since the STARTIME of the records with SYSTEM='PROD'     
    will be your local time of day.                                     
                                                                        
    All of the records written on SYSTEM='Y2K' will have the year 2000  
    dates (although the READTIME value could be earlier if jobs were    
    read into the hold queue before IPLing with year 2000).  Since the  
    Y2K system will be re-IPL'd repetitively with the same start value  
    (probably 31DEC99:23:45:00), RMF interval data will appear to have  
    duplicate data and the jobs/steps from all IPLs will be jumbled     
    together, because MXG sorts RMF data by STARTIME and job data by    
    READTIME.                                                           
                                                                        
    You can extract SYSTEM='Y2K' data for a specific "test run" by      
    finding the record number (_N_) of each SMF IPL record, using:      
       %INCLUDE SOURCLIB(VMACSMF);                                      
       DATA _NULL_;                                                     
       _SMF;                                                            
       IF ID=0 THEN PUT 'IPL RECORD FOUND ' _N_= SMFTIME=;              
    and then use the record number of the specific IPL to select only   
    the SMF records desired.  If you wanted the third run, and the third
    IPL record had _N_=8,000 and the next IPL record had _N_=10,000, you
    would use this logic:                                               
       %INCLUDE SOURCLIB(VMACSMF);                                      
       DATA _NULL_;                                                     
       _SMF;                                                            
       FILE SMFOUT DCB=SMF;                                             
       IF 8000 LE _N_ LE 9999 THEN PUT _INFILE_;                        
       IF _N_ EQ 10000 THEN STOP;                                       
    to write to //SMFOUT DD only those records for that test run.       
                                                                        
    There is an alternative.  You can use the IPL PROMPT feature to     
    require the operator to reply with the (local) time and the reason  
    (describe the test run) for each IPL, and there will be a SUBTYPE=8 
    observation in dataset TYPE90 with variables DTIME and IPLREASN with
    the operator's reply, so the TYPE90 dataset can be used to identify 
    the records in each test run (variable SMFRECNR, equal to _N_, was  
    added to the TYPE90 dataset by Change 15.267).                      
    You must have specified PROMPT(IPLR) or PROMPT(ALL) in member       
    SMFPRMxx in SYS1.PARMLIB dataset to prompt the operator for the     
    reply at each IPL.                                                  
                                                                        
14. Almost-Duplicate TYPE74 records, differing only by one second in the
    STARTIME, can be written by Boole & Babbage's CMF Product, if both  
    IPM and CPM modes are enabled.  This has happened recently as sites 
    installed OS/390.  In MXG's TYPE7xxx datasets, variable PRODUCT will
    be 'CMF-IPM' in one almost-duplicate record, and 'CMF-CPM' in the   
    other observation.  Boole does NOT recommend both modes!            
                                                                        
15. Channel Type variable CHANTYPE in dataset TYPE73 still exists, but  
    variable SMF73CPD provides a better description as it describes both
    ESCON and Parallel Channel types.  SMF73CPD was new in MVS/ESA 5.1. 
                                                                        
16. APAR OW27855 corrects PSF/MVS-written type 6 SMF records so that    
    they now contain the node number of the current node in field       
    SMF6ROUN, which MXG decodes into variable NODE and RMOTID in TYPE6  
    dataset.                                                            
                                                                        
17. APAR OW20844 enables JES2 job numbers greater than 32000, but has   
    no impact on MXG, since MXG has supported 5-digit JES Numbers thru  
    99999 from the JCTJOBID for several years.                          
                                                                        
IV.  DB2 Technical Notes.                                               
                                                                        
 1. There are no DB2 Technical Notes in this newsletter.                
                                                                        
V.   IMS Technical Notes.                                               
                                                                        
 1. Support for Boole's IMF 3.2 (for IMS 6.1) was added in MXG 15.09.   
    Candle has not informed me of any changes in their ITRF product.    
                                                                        
 2. Discussion of IMS Log support in MXG Software.                      
                                                                        
    I strongly recommend you use an IMS monitor (was Boole or Candle)   
    IMF from BMC, Mainview for IMS from ASG, ITRF from IBM/Candle)      
    that creates a transaction record, rather than attempt to use       
    IBM's IMS log for transaction response and resource measurement.    
                                                                        
    See MXG newsletter TWENTY-FIVE, IMS Technical Notes, for the MXG    
    position statement of the technical reasons why you cannot measure  
    the response time and resources (CPU, DL/I calls) for transactions  
    with only IBM's standard IMS log records.                           
                                                                        
    NOTE INSERTED IN 2015:  NOW USE THE TYPEIMST PROGRAM TO PROCESS     
    THE IBM IMS LOG RECORD 56FA, WHICH IS A PER-TRANSACTION RECORD      
    WITH CORRECT RESPONSE AND CPU TIMES.  SEARCH NEWSLTERS FOR IMS56FA. 
                                                                        
    However, you CAN use the TYPEIMS7 MXG program to get accurate counts
    of transactions and resources by transaction, because it uses IMS 07
    and IMS 08 log records, written for each deschedule of an IMS       
    program, which contains the count of IMS transactions that were run 
    during that program schedule (can be 1, usually is at least 5       
    transactions per schedule, and be millions for WFIs), the           
    transaction name, and the total CPU time and DL/I calls for all     
    of those IMS transactions.  But you cannot get accurate resources   
    per transaction from the IMS 07/08 records.  At best, you can get   
    the "average" of each group of transaction processed if you are     
    willing to divide the CPU time by the number of transactions run,   
    and you'll get fractional numbers of DL/I calls per transaction!    
                                                                        
    MXG Member TYPEIMFL will read the IMS log and will select and create
    all possible datasets from any combination of Boole's IMF log       
    records (LCODE=FAx) IBM IMS log records (01,03,07,08,31x,36x,40x,   
    plus fastpath 59x subtypes 01,03,36x,37x,38x) and SAP IMS log       
    records (LCODE=AEx), and the new statistics subtypes as well.       
    Members TYPEIMFL and TYPEIMS7 both use macros that are defined in   
    VMACIMS to decode those IMS log records, and which are fully        
    supported by MXG.                                                   
                                                                        
    It is not the reading of the IMF, IBM, and SAP IMS log records that 
    is the problem, but rather it is the construction of the            
    many-records-per-transaction-without-a-merge-key into a single      
    transaction record with per-transaction resources and response that 
    is in principle impossible with IMS log records.                    
                                                                        
    Nevertheless if you still must try to get IMS response time with    
    only IBM's IMS log records, because your management still won't buy 
    you an IMS monitor tool, then, at your own risk, you can probably   
    get good results with the MXG assembly program ASMIMSL6 (IMS 6+) and
    the JCLIMSL6 example.  The ASM program acts like an IMS MPR and     
    reads the log to figure out which records go with which transaction,
    and writes a copy of the IMS log records with an appendage to       
    identify the transaction, and then the MXG SAS programs invoked in  
    JCLIMSLG read the extended IMS log records to crate dataset IMSTRAN 
    with observations on a per-transaction basis.  These transaction    
    records will always contain only average CPU and DL/I calls, but the
    response time for each transaction is usually quite accurate,       
    although a few transactions may not be perfectly matched and can    
    have very large response times (and sometimes the output queue time 
    is accurately very large!).  It is not guaranteed that ASMIMSL6 will
    exist, but it is my hope to continue to provide this crutch for IMS 
    sites unwilling to purchase an IMS monitor.                         
                                                                        
                                                                        
VI.  SAS Technical Notes.                                               
                                                                        
 1. There are no MXG problems using the Version 6.09 of the SAS System. 
    In fact, there have been no MXG problems with Version 6.08 at TS430 
    or later maintenance levels!  Perhaps that is because MXG Software  
    is now a standard part of the SAS Quality Assurance test stream?    
                                                                        
VII. CICS Technical Notes.                                              
                                                                        
 1. How can you use USER instead of TERMINAL to bill CICS transactions. 
                                                                        
    IBM note RTA000013242 Library item Q451666 answers the question,    
    "How can you use USER instead of TERMINAL to bill CICS transactions 
    in an ISC or MRO CICS environment (i.e., when using transaction     
    routing?", by pointing out that when you specify USERSEC=IDENTIFY   
    or ATTACHSEC(IDENTIFY) on the SYSTEM entry or CONNECTION definition,
    the USER field is then propagated into the records created in the   
    AOR and other regions observations in CICSTRAN.CICSTRAN.            
                                                                        
    If you are billing CICS and DB2 by transactions, you really should  
    look at the ASUMUOW member that summarizes CICSTRAN and DB2ACCT and 
    their CPU times into one record per Unit of Work, reducing the      
    number of "things" you have to count.  ASUMUOW keeps both TERMINAL  
                                                                        
    and USER as well as both CICS and DB2 CPU times plus CICS response  
    buckets in its output dataset PDB.ASUMUOW.  If you were using       
    ASUMCICS to create PDB.CICS summary data, you will find ASUMUOW     
    preserves the CICS resource and response fields from PDB.CICS and   
    adds in the DB2 information.  ASUMUOW replaces the earlier ANALDB2C 
    report program that merged DB2ACCT and CICSTRAN records.            
                                                                        
VIII. Windows NT Technical Notes.                                       
                                                                        
 1. Use  /B "Binary" switch on the COPY command to eliminate '3F'x.     
                                                                        
    Two sites had STOPOVER ABENDS on MVS reading NTSMF data that had    
    been COPYed under Windows NT Server before uploading to MVS.  The   
    hex dump showed a one-byte physical record containing a '3F'x.      
    Another site's TYPENTSM job failed with a 180 abend; the VMACNTSM   
    member had been COPYed, and an extra line containing '3F'x had been 
    appended to the source file.  It is apparently a documented fact    
    that the COPY command can add an ASCII End-of-File Character at     
    the end of a copy whenever multiple input files are copied into an  
    output file.  That ASCII End-of-File Character then becomes the     
    separate physical record on MVS after uploading and translation     
    from ASCII to EBCDIC with ftp.  Using the  /B  "Binary" switch on   
    the COPY command was found to eliminate the extra character.        
    To read the uploaded file with the short record without ABENDing,   
    you can change MXG's STOPOVER option to MISSOVER by using:          
         MACRO STOPOVER MISSOVER %                                      
    as your first SAS statement, before the %INCLUDEs in your SYSIN.    
                                                                        
IX.   Incompatibilities and Installation of MXG 15.15.                  
                                                                        
 1. Incompatibilities introduced in MXG 15.15 (since MXG 14.14):        
                                                                        
  a- IMACs that were changed (if they exist in your USERID.SOURCLIB, you
     must refit your tailoring, starting with the new IMAC member):     
                                                                        
     IMACPTF, if you install PTF UN98309 for CICS Transaction Server 1.1
                                                                        
  b- Other incompatibility changes:                                     
                                                                        
     Users of SAS ITSV V1 and V2.0 and SAS/CPE must install the two line
       circumvention described in the text of Change 15.320 to use MXG  
       Version 15.08 or later.  SAS ITSV Version 2.1 is compatible and  
       the circumvention is not required.

 You MUST read each Change description to determine if a Change will    
 impact your site. All changes have been made in this MXG Library.      
                                                                        
 Member CHANGES of the MXG SOURCLIB will always be more accurate than   
 the printed changes in a Newsletter, because the software is normally  
 created after the newsletter is sent to the printer!  Member CHANGES   
 on the www.MXG.com homepage are the most timely, as they are updated   
 (sometimes) between MXG versions.                                      
                                                                        
 Member CHANGES always identifies the actual version and release of     
 MXG Software that is contained in that library.                        
                                                                        
 The actual code implementation of some changes in MXG SOURCLIB may be  
 different than described in the change text (which might have printed  
 only the critical part of the correction that can be made by paper).   
                                                                        
 Scan each source member named in any impacting change for any comments 
 at the beginning of the member for additional documentation, since the 
 documentation of new datasets, variables, validation status, and notes,
 are often found in comments in the source members.
