Monitoring Dataset Attributes System Summary data

This topic describes the workspaces that monitor the status of Dataset Attributes System Summary data. You access these workspaces through the Dataset Attributes System Summary node in the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal.

With OMEGAMON® for Storage on z/OS® Version 4.2.0 Interim Feature 3 or later, you view multivolume datasets as a single entity, rather that as multiple entitites over multiple volumes. The Dataset Attributes System Summary workspace displays data for multivolume datasets, where applicable, so that you can monitor the largest datasets on your system, not just the largest on a single volume. In addition, the Multivolume Dataset Attribute Details workspace provides dataset attributes for a multivolume dataset, including dataset-level attributes and volume-specific attributes.

See Workspaces for general information on predefined workspaces and a list of all nodes that are included in the OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS product. Each node corresponds to a specific area of storage resource monitoring. And each node includes links to a unique set of storage resource workspaces. See Accessing workspaces to learn about navigating among workspaces. And see Integration with other products to learn about linking to the workspaces of other IBM Tivoli Monitoring products.

In addition, with OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS Version 4.2.0 Interim Feature 3 or later, you can issue dataset-level Storage Toolkit commands from the dataset group level. To access these commands, open the Dataset Attributes Group Summary workspace from the Navigator, right-click a row on the table view and select the Dataset Actions... menu item, then select the action you want to perform.

Dataset Attributes System Summary workspace

This topic describes the main components of the principal workspace for this node.

This workspace provides the principal view of the Dataset Attribute Database, which maintains data on data set attributes related to space, DCB, and cataloging. For more information about the Dataset Attribute Database feature, including how to configure it and how to work with groups to monitor a collection of data sets based on specific attributes, see Dataset Attributes Database.

Note: Data collection is turned off by default, so this workspace is initially empty.
Views
This workspace provides the following views. For a description of the attributes used as column headings in the workspace table view, review the attribute group definitions for this workspace in the online help. The help resource includes attribute descriptions that are displayed when you hover with the mouse pointer over a column heading.
Table view
The table view displays one row of data for each resource. The columns show the following attributes:
  • Volumes online
  • Volumes processed
  • Datasets processed
  • Available tracks
  • Allocated tracks
  • Used tracks
  • Unused tracks
  • Percent of available allocated
  • Percent of allocated used
  • Percent of allocated free
  • Name of largest data set
  • Size of largest data set
  • Name of data set with largest unused space
  • Amount of space unused by largest data set
  • Name of data set with oldest reference date
  • Number of unreferenced days for oldest data set
  • Number of uncataloged data sets
  • Collection start & end date/time
