Concurrent Batch Job Statistics

The Concurrent Batch Job Statistics section of the Job summary report shows information on the batch job workload during the trace period according to job sets.

By looking at the first lines for a particular priority, you can quickly determine if the system was fully utilizing all available batch activity levels during the trace period.

Collection Services begins identifying concurrent jobs when it starts collecting data. All jobs that are currently active are assigned to a job set. There will often be several jobs that are continuously active during the trace period, such as an autostart job for SNADS.

If another job starts during the trace period and none of the original jobs have ended, it is assigned to a new job set. If a job ends and another job of the same priority starts, the new job is considered to be a second job in the same job set. For example, if the job queue entry for QBATCH has a MAXACT parameter of 3 and you submit 8 jobs to QBATCH during the trace period, there will probably be 3 job sets on the report with a total of 8 jobs shared between them.

The job sets are sorted by job priority. Thus, for the above example where the first job set was running for a total of 8 minutes and 50 seconds and the second job set was running for a total of 6 minutes and 55 seconds, the order of reporting shows the statistics for the second job set, then the third, and then the first and assigns them sequential numbers.
