Accessing ZMS Style Records (MEASDDLZ)
The MEASDDLZ file lets applications access ZMS style data records with minimal impact.
The ZMS style record structure adds a level of naming to each component of the record. The Legacy
Style does not have this additional naming level. For example, the field cpu.dispatches in a legacy
style record is equivalent to the zmscpu.ctr.dispatches in the ZMS style record structure.
Converting existing applications and ENFORM reports from the legacy naming format to the ZMS
style naming format is a significant edit of record references. It also involves removal of fields that
might be referenced by programs, and the possible combination of equivalent fields that appeared
in two sizes (for example, process.sent-bytes and process.sent-bytes-f).
To simplify this process, use the MEASDDLZ file.
MEASDDLZ presents the ZMS style counter widths and locations in the record using the legacy
style record naming convention. Record template names use legacy style names (for example,
PROCESS rather than ZMSPROC). Fields that have been combined are referenced by redefines.
MEASDDLZ and the ZMS style format are available in the Measure G11 PVU. In H01 and later
PVUs, the ZMS style interface is the default. The legacy interface will no longer be enhanced, and
MEASDDLZ will no longer be maintained to reflect changes in the ZMS style records. Counters
will be added or modified only in ZMS style records.
