Using the Collected Data

Running the SPAM TACL Macros
When using TPRODUCE to execute any of the compiled reports, you can modify
the Enform queries to exclude, flag, or match various measured entities. If you do
not specify any of these options, the Enform reports use default values.
You normally use TPRODUCE once or twice per data collection to run the reports.
report-set
specifies either:
CHARTS—80-column pseudo-graphic charts of overall activity/balance.
REPORTS—132-column detailed reports on measured entities.
list-file
names the destination file for SPAM output reports. The list file can be a
spooler location, a device (such as a terminal), or an entry-sequenced disk file.
If you do not specify a list file, output is directed to TACL’s current OUT file.
If the list file you specify already exists, check that its record size is large
enough to hold Enform output lines. TPRODUCE appends output to this file
unless you specify PURGE. If the list file does not exist, TPRODUCE creates
an entry-sequenced disk file.
option
specifies one or more of the following options. (See also the descriptions under
TPRODUCE HELP ALL.)
AUDIT TMF-Audit-Trail-Volume-Name
specifies the logical volume name of the TMF audit trail volume. The TMF
Overview chart (TMFVIEW) uses this parameter to select the appropriate
volume for which to present TMF activity data. The default name is
$AUDIT. Example:
AUDIT $DATA3
BEGIN hh:mm
specifies the time of day at which the first timeline interval is to begin for the
NEWPROC and PTIMLIN reports. These reports show new process creations
and process existence, respectively, during intervals within the overall
measurement window. These reports show 16 equal-sized intervals within the
window. To zoom in on a shorter time period within the measurement window,
use the BEGIN parameter in conjunction with the INTERVAL parameter.
The time of day is assumed to be for the day on which the measurement was
started. Values are from 00:00 to 23:59 with a default value of 00:00, which
causes the reports to align the first interval with the start of the report window.
Example:
