This manual covers the configuration and use of the MON-PRECALL. The Monitor prod- uct suite includes the following components:

  • MON-SNAPSHOT: is used to perform snapshot and interval processing at the volume, pool or data set level. This component is run as a batch job or started task.
  • MON-RTM: is used to monitor real-time storage management events using the DADSM POST processing exit and capture HSM events using the SMF U83 exit. This component can also be used to feed storage event records to a MON- Explorer database. The MON-Explorer application can use the database for Stor- age Analysis and Trends evaluation.
  • MON-ISPF: is an ISPF application interface with SCC Monitor. The interface uses result sets from MON-Snapshot to create and display ISPF tables. The result sets are similar to those used by the Explorer and iPhone applications. The inter- face also contains a facility to dynamically create ISPF menu panels controlled by PDF members.
  • MON-EXPLORER: is a PC-based client that communicates through DIF to work with SCC Monitor, MVS Console and TSO commands, system utilities, as well as third party software products. The application can display information in a variety of formats, reports and graphs. The Explorer can also perform storage management and installation defined actions on the host. An optional database tier can also be added to collect storage management events for historical and trend analysis.
  • MON-IPHONE: is an iPhone application that communicates through DIF to work with SCC Monitor, MVS Console and TSO commands, system utilities, as well as third party software products. The application can also perform storage management and installation defined actions on the host.
  • MON-JCLQA: performs JCL Validation and Quality Assurance. JCLQA was designed to scan individual JCL job streams, entire JCL libraries, or job streams extracted from job scheduling systems. The product can be used to enforce instal- lation standards, or perform a system validation test. The system validation tests can be performed on either the local system, or remote systems that are also run- ning JCLQA.
  • MON-PRECALL (Predictive Recall) minimizes production delays caused by recalls of migrated data. Datasets will be recalled prior to their actual use, result- ing in an overall shorter batch window. The application uses job scheduling reports to determine which jobs will run in the batch windows and then performs JCL conversion on the production jobs to obtain a list of migrated data sets. Recalls for the data sets are then performed prior to the batch window to reduce cycle time caused by recall delays.
