- If you are trying to track CMS command/exec/module/subcommand usage, you
- might want to look at VM/CMAP from ETi Solutions. It intercepts CMS
- commands at the SVC202/204 level and provides a wealth of information,
- including command parms and options, return codes, and resources used.
- There are extra-cost add-on's that will enable you to track subcommand
- usage inside PROFS, OV/VM, and FOCUS. I don't have price information
- available. I have had this product in for evaluation twice, at two
- different employers, and was impressed with the amount of information
- available. It is configurable, so you can track everything for everyone
- (you may feel a performance impact), specific commands for specific
- users, or anything in between. There are actually three pieces to the
- product. One piece runs in each user's VM, intercepting the SVC,
- determining if stats are needed, and sending the stats to an svm. The
- second piece runs in the svm, logging the data from the users. The third
- piece is used to generate reports from the data. You can create detail
- or summary reports by user, by command, or by type of command (EXEC,
- MODULE, etc). According to the vendor, the latest release includes some
- sort of interactive monitor, so you can watch what's happening now,
- instead of waiting 'til it's all over. If you want/need to report
- resource utilization by product/command and user, this product can
- provide that capability. It does not cut accounting records.
