Time for me to ask a stupid question.
I have lots of them...
TSM Server 5.4.3 OS is AIX 5.3
I am trying to utilize the Hourly Monitor in Daily Operational Reporting
to notify me if I reach 90% of maxscratch.
Before I went to the reporting utility, I tried to write a select query.
Only pieces of it work. It seems to be rounding. Obviously I have an
incomplete understanding of something I am trying to use.
I have been nosing around the web and learned some things, but I have
not answered my question.
This is a partial query and the result:
tsm: AIXPROD29>select stgpool_name,numscratchused as "Scratch
Used",maxscratch,cast(numscratchused/maxscratch
as decimal(3,2)) as "PCT MaxScratch" from stgpools where
numscratchused<>0 and maxscratch<>0
STGPOOL_NAME Scratch Used MAXSCRATCH PCT MaxScratch
------------------ ------------ ----------- --------------
COPYTAPE 425 2000 0.00
C_ARCHIVE_TAPE 3 10 0.00
C_DRBACKUP_TAPE 240 1165 0.00
OFFSITE 1432 10000 0.00
ONSITE 4 48 0.00
P_ARCHIVE_TAPE 3 10 0.00
P_DRBACKUP_TAPE 229 300 0.00
P_DRBACKUP_VTL 30 30 1.00
P_NODR_TAPE 32 50 0.00
P_NODR_VTL 14 20 0.00I
It seems to convert anything less than a whole number to the next lower
number
The entire statement yields this result:
tsm: AIXPROD29>select stgpool_name,numscratchused as "Scratch
Used",maxscratch as "Scratch Used",cast(numscrat
chused/maxscratch as decimal(3,2)) as "PCT MaxScratch" from stgpools
where numscratchused<>0 and maxscratch<>0
and cast(numscratchused/maxscratch as decimal(3,2))> .90
STGPOOL_NAME Scratch Used Scratch Used PCT MaxScratch
------------------ ------------ ------------ --------------
P_DRBACKUP_VTL 30 30 1.00
If I deliberatly get the math wrong, I get this result:
tsm: AIXPROD29>select stgpool_name,maxscratch, numscratchused as
"Scratch Used",cast((maxscratch/numscratchuse
d) as decimal(5,2)) as "PCT MaxScratch" from stgpools where
numscratchused<>0 and maxscratch<>0
STGPOOL_NAME MAXSCRATCH Scratch Used PCT MaxScratch
------------------ ----------- ------------ --------------
COPYTAPE 2000 425 4.00
C_ARCHIVE_TAPE 10 3 3.00
C_DRBACKUP_TAPE 1165 240 4.00
OFFSITE 10000 1432 6.00
ONSITE 48 4 12.00
P_ARCHIVE_TAPE 10 3 3.00
P_DRBACKUP_TAPE 300 229 1.00
P_DRBACKUP_VTL 30 30 1.00
P_NODR_TAPE 50 32 1.00
P_NODR_VTL 20 14 1.00
I tried using "float" and got the same results.
2,000/425 is not 4.00, what do I not see?
This may seem basic to you, but I was a printer for years. I have been
paddling in the shallow end of TSM for 2+ years now. I have mostly been
concerned with making my clients (that I can't touch) run.
I visited Richard Sims Quick Facts, but did not see what I was looking
for.
***People are going to ask*** "Why don't you just make maxscratch a huge
number and go home to dinner?"
Two answers:
Someone else set the levels in a low to mid range. We don't currently
collocate so I don't know why...which is the answer, I don't want to
change what I don't fully understand.
The second answer is... I have fallen and I can't get up. This is not
working and I don't know why. I can't let go of it.
