EDH_ANZDBA: Data extraction

EDH_ANZDBL: Analysis of extracted data

These tools are based on statistical activity database available with DSPFD.

There is no need to activate journaling for this analysis.

A physical file stores the list of files and its members.

For each file, we store the record length and 5 groups of counters:

  • The first group stores current counters of the file.

The 3 others groups store counters that have been picked up during 3 analysis.

The command EDH_ANZDBA performs 3 analysis (Submission of a batch job by the command).

  • EDH_ANZDBA is used for storing the current value of counters (*INIT)

EDH_ANZDBA (YourLibrary) PERIOD(*INIT)

  • We re-use the command at 3 different periods of time:

    • After jobs batches

EDH_ANZDBA (YourLibrary) PERIOD(*PERIOD2)

  • After 24 hours

EDH_ANZDBA (YourLibrary) PERIOD(*PERIOD3)

  • After a week

EDH_ANZDBA (YourLibrary) PERIOD(*PERIOD4)

The second command EDH_ANZDBL allows you to print data into a spool file.

  • Compares the selected periods to the initial values

EDH_ANZDBL TOPERIOD(*PERIODn)

  • Adds all the entries (Add, Update, Delete) for each file and multiplies them by the record length

Note: Only modified files are displayed in the spool

You can also compare 2 periods:
