Disc Cache Performance (DCPCHRT)
The cache performance counters are updated in the Measure DISC entity by the disk
process in the following order:
•
Cache read: hits, misses
•
Cache write: clean, dirty hits, misses
This chart uses the DGLOBAL and DISCINFO entities.
Parameters used are:
•
LID—specifies the Measure Load ID
•
EXCLUDE—specifies a value under which to exclude the number of requests per
second
•
SECTION—specifies the report section number
The chart is sorted in descending order of cache hits and misses and volume name.

NOTE: An exclamation point (!) following the 'Cache (H+M)' column
indicates more than three Cache accesses per request. This
may indicate a more-than-desirable number of index levels
in a key-sequenced file or table.
