Information Collected

 

GiAPA standard performance data collection retrieves the following data (a total of 28 fields) every 15 seconds for all active jobs and tasks:

          Job or task name, user name, job number

          Job type, priority, pool, date and time

 

Total values (from start of job or task) for:

          CPU milliseconds

          I/Os (physical/logical, synchronous/asynchronous, read/write, data base/non-DB, miscellaneous/perm.write)

          Communication puts and gets

          Exceptions (decimal, binary, floating point, extended address overflow)

          Transactions (number and response time)

          Print lines

 

Additional information collected for “HotSpots” when job exceeds user defined limits within a 15 seconds’ interval:

          Call stack, including statement number and library of last called application program

          Detailed statistics for all files opened by the job.

 

Data collection I/Os are minimized by using binary format variable length records compressed into spanned blocks.  This is why data collection typically uses less than 0.1 % of one CPU.
