Performance data files: QAPMBSC

This database file includes binary synchronous file entries and lists the fields in the binary synchronous file.

Field Name Description Attribute
INTNUM Interval number: The nth sample database interval based on the start time specified in the Create Performance Data (CRTPFRDTA) command. PD (5,0)
DTETIM Interval date (yymmdd) and time (hhmmss): The date and time of the sample interval. C (12)
INTSEC Elapsed interval seconds: The number of seconds since the last sample interval. PD (7,0)
IOPRN IOP resource name. C(10)
BIOPID Reserved C (1)
BSTYPE The resource type of the IOP or adapter represented by this record. C (4)
BSLND Line description: The name of the description for this line. C (10)
BSLSP Line speed: The speed of the line in bits per second (bps). PD (11,0)
BSBTRN Bytes transmitted: The number of bytes (data and control characters) transmitted, including bytes transmitted again. PD (11,0)
BSBRCV Bytes received: The number of bytes (data and control characters) received including bytes received in error. PD (11,0)
BSPRCL Protocol type: B for binary synchronous. C (1)
BSDCRV Data characters received: The number of data characters received successfully (excluding synchronous characters) while in data mode. For feature types 2507 and 6150, this value is equal to field BSBRCV. PD (11,0)
BSDCRE Data characters received in error: The number of data characters received with a block-check character error while in data mode. For feature types 2507 and 6150, this value is equal to field BSCRER. PD (11,0)
BSDCTR Data characters transmitted: The number of data characters transmitted successfully while in data mode. For feature types 2507 and 6150, this value is equal to field BSBTRN. PD (11,0)
BSCRER Characters received in error: The number of characters received with a block-check character error. PD (11,0)
BSLNK Negative acknowledgment character received to text sent (see note). The number of times the remote station or device did not understand the command sent from the host system. PD (11,0)
BSLWA Wrong acknowledgment character to text sent (see note). The host system received an acknowledgment from the remote device that was not expected. For example, the system expected an ACK0 and received an ACK1. PD (11,0)
BSLQTS Enqueue to text sent (see note): Text was sent by a station and an ENQ character was returned. The receiving station expected some form of acknowledgment, such as an ACK0, ACK1, or NAK. PD (11,0)
BSLINV Invalid (unrecognized format): One of the delimiter characters that encloses the data in brackets being sent/received is not valid (see note). PD (11,0)
BSLQAK Enqueue to acknowledged character: The remote station returned an acknowledgment (for example, ACK0) and the host system sent an ENQ character. This indicates that the host station did not recognize the acknowledgment as a valid acknowledgment (see note). PD (11,0)
BSLTNK Negative acknowledgment character received to text sent (total): The number of times the remote station did not understand the command sent from the host system (see note). PD (11,0)
BSLTWA Wrong acknowledgment character to text sent (total): The host system received an acknowledgment from the remote device that was not expected. For example, the host system expected an ACK0 and received an ACK1 (see note). PD (11,0)
BSLTQT Enqueue to text sent (total): Text was sent by a station and an ENQ character was returned. The receiving station expected some form of acknowledgment such as an ACK0, ACK1, or NAK (see note). PD (11,0)
BSLTIV Invalid (unrecognized format) (total): One of the delimiter characters that enclose the data in brackets being sent/received is not valid (see note). PD (11,0)
BSLTQA Enqueue to acknowledged character (total): The remote station returned an acknowledgment (for example, ACK0) and the host station sent an ENQ character. This indicates that the host station did not recognize the acknowledgment as a valid acknowledgment (see note). PD (11,0)
BSLDRA Disconnect received: The remote station issued a disconnect with abnormal end. This could occur when error recovery did not succeed or the binary synchronous job was ended. PD (11,0)
BSLEAB End of transmission (EOT) received (abnormal end): Similar to a disconnect. PD (11,0)
BSLDFA Disconnect received (forward abnormal end): The host station issued a disconnect with abnormal end. This could occur when the error recovery did not succeed, or the binary synchronous job was ended. PD (11,0)
BSLEFA EOT received (forward abnormal end): Similar to a disconnect. PD (11,0)
BSLDBT Number of data blocks transmitted. PD (11,0)
BSLDBR Number of data blocks received. PD (11,0)
BSLBKR Number of data blocks transmitted again. PD (11,0)
BSLBKE Number of data blocks received in error. PD (11,0)
BSLTRT Total number of characters transmitted again, including control characters. PD (11,0)
BSLDRT Total number of data characters transmitted again. PD (11,0)
Note: The counters BSLNK through BSLQAK are error recovery counters and are increased the first time the error is detected. The counters BSLTNK and BSLTQA are error recovery counters and are increased every time the error occurs. The same errors are being counted in each set of counters, so the first set indicates how many times an error was detected and the second set indicates how many retries it took to recover from the errors.
