This document covers the following topics:

Units of Measurement
ASF Groups
ASF Fields

Units of Measurement

The Adabas statistical data can be displayed in various units of measurement. The units available are listed in the following table. In the section ASF Fields it is listed which unit can be used for which field. The "API" column indicates the abbreviation to be used by the Application Programming Interface (API).

Unit	API	Meaning	Description
Bl	BL	Blocks	The size value is displayed in units of blocks.
Cy	CY	Cylinders	The size value is displayed in units of cylinders.
MB	MB	Megabytes	The size value is displayed in units of megabytes (millions of bytes).
By	BY	Bytes	The size value is displayed in units of bytes.
Se	SE	Seconds	The time value is displayed in total number of seconds.
Hr	HR	Hours	The time value is displayed as "hours:minutes:seconds".
Da	DA	Days	The time value is displayed as "days:hours:minutes".
%	PC	Percent	The value is displayed as percentage.
Nom	blank	Nominal value	The actual value of the field. This is also the default if no column is selected.
1/min	PM	Per Minute	The average number of occurrences per minute.
1/call	PM	Per Call	The average time spent per call. This unit is only available for the Call Duration fields.
MS	MS	msec	The time value is displayed in total number of milliseconds. This unit is only available for the Call Duration fields. It is used when the "Nom" or no unit has been selected.

ASF Groups

The statistical data which the ASF Store Program stores, are the values of the ASF data fields. The ASF data fields are subdivided into several groups: most of them are related to some aspect of the database, one group contains technical ASF fields (such as the store date), and one group is reserved for the user fields. The ASF groups are displayed when you use the active help function at the evaluation profile administration. In the evaluation itself only the field names are displayed.

5	Cmd distr. source	From where the calls are coming.
6	Cmd distr. thread	Number of calls per thread.
7	Cmd distr. type	Number of calls per type (like 'L9').
8	User calls	User related information.
9	Run time info	Run time information (like number of buffer flushes).
10	Call duration (milliseconds)	Duration of the different call types.
11	High water marks	Highest usage of various pools.
12	File description	File related information.
13	Tech. ASF fields	Technical ASF data (like store date/time).
14	User defined fields	Fields defined by the user in the ASF User-exit.

Note 1:

The percentage value of the extents gives a more sophisticated approach to monitor the space usage because it combines the number of allocated extents with the filling level. Each full extent (of average size) counts as 100%. A value of 250% means: three extents allocated, two of them full and one half-full. In a Critical Report such a percentage value can be used to submit a query like "4th extent nearly full".

Example:

4 EXTENTS, 800 blocks defined, 760 blocks used.

Percent  (USED)    = 100 * 760 / 800     =  95%
Percent  (EXTENTS) = 100 * 4 * 760 / 800 = 380%

The value of 380% can be interpreted as 3 (average) extents full and the forth extent filled up to 80%.

Note 2:

The number of file updates is counted since the file has been loaded or refreshed. The percentage calculation uses the number of commands, and the per-minute uses the nucleus duration time. Both values are counted since the nucleus has been started and reflect another time interval than the number of updates. Therefore for the number of updates, the units "%" and "1/min" are in general meaningless. Nevertheless, these units can be used when Delta Values (User Function 1) are used. In this case all values reflect the time interval of the delta value, e.g. one day for a daily store.

Note 3:

The field "TOP ISN (3 BYTE)" can be used to search all files which use an ISNSIZE 3 and the Top ISN is closed to the highest 3-byte value.

Example:

A Critical Report lists all files which you should be upgraded to ISNSIZE 4:

TOP ISN (3 BYTE)  GE  16000000
