GROUP FILE The GROUP FILE command operates much like GROUP PROCESS, but Measure FILE
entities are the selected entities and the resultant object includes both FILE and
DISKFILE counters. The link between FILE and DISKFILE entities is accomplished
through the TPDC file label entities.
GROUP FILE ' name '
[FILENAME {$ volume . subvol . filename . . .}
[NOT {$ volume . subvol . filename . . .}] ]
[APPLY-THRESHOLDS YES | NO ]
[DISCARD YES | NO ]
name
is the name assigned to the group. The name can contain a maximum of 20
characters. Any character is accepted except comma and single quote. The name
must be unique within all GROUP PROCESS or GROUP FILE entries. This field is
mandatory with no default.
FILENAME {$ volume . subvol . filename . . .}
[NOT {$ volume . subvol . filename . . .}]
is one or more disk file names. All three fields can be specified using wild-card
notation. The action taken is to match these names with the names obtained from
FILE (type 3) Measure entities and not DISCOPEN or DISKFILE entities.
APPLY-THRESHOLDS YES | NO
specifies whether FILE GROUP thresholds should be applied if they have been
defined in a THRESHOLD command. These thresholds only affect the selection of
the group. Component FILE and DISKFILE objects are still subject to their own
thresholds. This clause can override the SET APPLY-THRESHOLDS command,
which also provides the default if no APPLY-THRESHOLDS clause is given.
DISCARD YES | NO
specifies that all the DISKFILE entries in the group be discarded (DISCARD YES)
or retained (DISCARD NO). This clause overrides the SET DISCARD command,
which provides the default if no DISCARD clause is given.
Example
This example selects all files from all disk volumes with a volume name prefix of
$DAT and a subvolume name of MAINDATA.
GROUP FILE 'Main Database'
FILENAME $DAT*.MAINDATA.*
