ISAM SM2 monitoring programs

ISAM

Monitored data on ISAM pools

When the BS2000 component NK-ISAM is installed, the monitoring program for ISAM pools provides information on the performance of the ISAM buffer management facility. ISAM buffer management is aimed at reducing the physical I/O operations involved in accessing ISAM files. Using the information recorded in this monitoring program, the access behavior of this ISAM pool can be optimized by modifying the parameters of an ISAM pool, as required (for more details on the ISAM access method, please refer to the "DMS Macros" manual [2]).

Users can issue the BS2000 command SHOW-ISAM-POOL-ATTRIBUTES to obtain infor- mation on the pool names.

The MSCF (Multiple System Control Facility) monitoring program provides information on communication between the local host and other hosts.

NET-DEVICE

Monitored data on network devices

This monitoring program provides information on access to and the transferred data of network devices (mainframe interface controllers).

NSM

Monitored data on HIPLEX MSCF®
