Dataset Group Details
The Dataset Group Details attributes provide detailed information on your data set. The attributes in this group include details regarding control intervals (CIs) and control areas (CAs).
% Free Bytes In CI: The percentage of bytes free across all CIs. (VSAM only.) You can enable aggregation for this attribute in Tivoli® Data Warehouse.
% Free CIS In CA: The percentage of free CIs across all CAs in the data set. (VSAM only.) You can enable aggregation for this attribute in Tivoli Data Warehouse.
Alternate Index Attributes: The alternate index attributes. Values are UPGRADE, and NO UPGRADE.
Associated Entry Name: The associated entry names.
Average LRECL: The VSAM data set average logical record size.

Bytes Free In Compression: The number of bytes of free space in compression. (VSAM only.)
CA Splits: The number of CA splits. You can enable aggregation for this attribute in Tivoli Data Warehouse.
A CA split is the movement of half of the records in an existing CA to a new CA because a record add or update cannot be accommodated in the existing CA. This condition results in two approximately half-full CAs instead of one full and one empty CA. A CA split is inefficient because it requires a large number of I/O operations. (VSAM only.)
Catalog Name: The name of the catalog that the data set belongs.
CI Size: The control interval (CI) size of the data set. A CI is a unit of data that is transferred between auxiliary storage and virtual storage when an I/O request is made. It contains records, free space, and control information.
CI Splits: The number of control interval (CI) splits. You can enable aggregation for this attribute in Tivoli Data Warehouse.
A CI split is the movement of some records from an existing CI to another free CI in the same control area because a record add or update cannot be accommodated in the existing one. This condition results in two half-empty CIs instead of one full and one empty CI. (VSAM only.)
