DSECT NAME - SYTCPC FUNCTION - Map a Monitor record. LOCATED BY - Through the Monitor Control Area REFERENCED CONTROL BLOCKS - MRRECHDR Monitor Record Header NAME - MRSYTCPC DESCRIPTIVE NAME - Monitor Sample Record Domain 0 - System Domain Record 9 - Physical Channel Path Contention Data DESCRIPTION - Channel Path Contention data, based entirely on high frequency sampling, shows the number of times that each channel path was busy. NOTES: - This data is high-frequency sampling data collected by issuing the STORE CHANNEL PATH STATUS instruction which tests the status (busy or not busy) of all possible channel paths. The rate of high-frequency sampling is determined (or defaulted) by the MONITOR SAMPLE RATE command. - When VM is running in an LPAR in Multiple Image Facility mode, physical channel paths may be shared with other partitions. This record reflects total usage of the physical channel paths by all partitions. Logical channel path utilization data for this VM partition is provided in MRSYTCPM (domain 0, record 18) or MRSYTEPM (domain 0, record 20)

Each index number of this array corresponds to its channel path number, 0 to 255. Example: HFCHBUSY(51) = the number of times that channel path no. 51 was busy. 048 418 Unsigned 4 SYTCPC_HFCHSIM(0:50)Number of times the corresponding number of channel paths were simultaneously busy. Each index number from 0 to 49 corresponds to the total number of channel paths that were busy. Example: HFCHSIM(23) = the number of times that 23 channel paths were active at one time. For index number 50, this is the number of times that 50 or more channel paths were simultaneously busy. 252 4E4 Character 0 SYTCPC_END
