Time View

The Time page displays program activity in time sequence. Each row of information represents a single sample taken during the monitored period. This format helps you determine a execution path and looping logic of a program. This format also gives a good indication of which code sections executed and when they executed during the monitored period.

Menu commands available in this view are as follows:

  • Details
    Opens the Delayed Resources subpage that provides detail data for the sample. Detail data is available if the DET column displays the YES value.

Time Columns

The Time page contains the following columns:

  • Sequence Number
    The sequence of samples, numbered consecutively from one to the requested number of samples.

  • Observation Number
    There may be multiple occurrences of the same observation number in a multiple TCB environment such as CICS. There may be multiple samples taken, potentially one for each TCB seen during an Observation.

  • Module
    The load module name related to the sample.

  • CSECT
    The name of the control section in control for the sample.

  • Offset
    Displays the hexadecimal offset from the start of the control section named in the column "CSECT" where the interrupt occurred for this sample.
    For .USER, .EUSER, .COMMON, and .ECOMMON, this is the virtual address of the delay and not an offset.

  • S
    Indicates A (Active) or W (Wait).

    • Active
      Indicates that the csect was executing on a CPU.

    • Wait
      Indicates that the csect was not executing on a CPU.

  • Det
    Displays YES if detail information is available for the sample.
    To view the detail data, use the D line command.

  • Calling Module
    The name of the module which issued the call for the module in control during this sample.

  • Calling CSECT
    The name of the control section which called the routine in control during the sample.

  • Caller Offset
    Displays the hexadecimal offset from the start of the control section under "Calling CSECT" where CA MAT determined the call to the current module was made.

  • Task Id
    The name of the program (including the TCB address) controlling the MVS task associated with this sample.

  • Transact Code
    The transaction code from either an IMS/TM or CICS environment.

Delayed Resources

  • Resource
    Displays the resource name that is causing the delay. This name is one of the following types:

    • DBDNAME - for IMS delay

    • DDNAME - for I/O Queued

    • DBRMNAME - for DB2 delay

    • PROGRAM - for Program load delay

  • Component
    The component name of the resource that is causing the delay. The following list shows the component for each delay source:

    Delay Source

    Component

    IMS delay

    SEGNAME

    I/O Queued

    FILELIST

    DB2 delay

    If requested, the DB2 LOCATION

    If requested, the OPERID

    If requested, the CORRELATION ID

    If requested, the THREAD TOKEN

    the STATEMENT NUMBER

  • Pct %
    The percentage of the monitored period that this resource delayed the application.
