$READMON Mount Monitor and Reporting 11/01/99 THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. All IBM tape analysis tools are part of the Package: IBMTOOLS.EXE is a Self-Extracting Zip file. This will expand into four separate files: IBMJCL.BIN, IBMCNTL.BIN, IBMLOAD.BIN, and IBMDOC.BIN See IBMTOOLS.TXT for installation instructions. MOUNTMON is intended to run continuously gathering statistics on tape volume allocations. It runs from an APF authorized library to sample the tape UCBs every 1 second (can be user modified by using INT=n.n seconds on the execute parm). MOUNTMON will gather statistics about all tape activity in the shop: library, manual, or virtual. Gathered statistics are written at the end of a volume allocation to a specific tape drive. The collected statistics can be written to the SMF log file or to a flat file. The reporting program can handle any combination in input files from multiple systems. The monitor program should be started using a two step process so reports can be generated from previously collected data while the monitor continues to collect new data. The JCL member, STARTMON, will allocate the output flat file and pass the monitor JCL to an internal reader for execution. 1. STARTMON - Allocates collection file and passes monitor job to an internal reader for execution. 2. MOUNTMON - Monitor collection job passed to the system for execution. You can submit this job directly if you are collecting directly to the SMF log files. 3. MOUNTRPT - Report generator program.
