(ZOS) RMF Workload Activity reports and RMF Monitor III
Performance metrics include transaction rates and response times. Resource utilization includes CPU, I/O (channel), and storage utilization.
- Transactions/second
- This is shown in the AVG, MPL, and AVG ENC fields which is equal to the average number of enclaves in the period in the RMF™ Monitor.
- Response times
- The actual response times of the WLM transaction is shown in the TRANS.-TIME SS.TTT' column n the RMF Monitor and are measured in milliseconds. (This also includes time waiting on WLM queue.)
- Service Rates
- Resource utilization in CPU service units, and Service Units per Sec. The APPL% field shows the number of processor engines (CPs) required to drive the work in the service (report) class.
Controller Regions Example: Here is the report for the WebSphere controller regions which were all assigned a particular reporting class according to the STC classification rules based on the started class jobname. There is only one transaction active in the system, there are no response time figures, and required 37.2% of a processor engine to support its work.

There are only two transactions active in the system (meaning there were two servant regions), there are no response time figures, and they required 10% of a processor engine to support their work.

The average number of these kind of transactions active in the system was 241.52, the average response time was 276 milliseconds, and required 2.129 processor engines to support this work.

Here is a queue delay report which shows that work was delayed 23.5% of the time waiting for the CPU and 12.6% of the time waiting for a servant region:

WebSphere production controller region with a jobname of WSPRODC is assigned a service class of STCCR and reporting class of RCTLREG, production controller region with a jobname of WSPRODC is assigned a service class of STCSR and reporting class of RSRVREG, and testregions (servant and controllers) with a jobname starting with WSTare assigned a service class of STCWSTST and reporting class of RWSTST.
