SiteAnalyzer Administration

SiteAnalyzer administration is accomplished through the use of an interactive FOCUS window application called Site/SAF (SiteAnalyzer System Administrator Facility). The following section introduces you to using Site/SAF. Site/SAF's functions are described in greater detail later in this manual.

In this section: Using Site/SAF The Usage Monitor Reporting With SiteAnalyzer

Using Site/SAF

To run Site/SAF, type the following at the FOCUS prompt:

EX SITESAF

The Site/SAF screen with menu options opens:

Note: The TSO Command option that is listed under the Site Analyzer Main Menu is available for MVS only.

The following table lists and describes the Site/SAF main menu options:

Main Menu Option	Description
Usage Monitoring Reports	Accesses reports for all monitored databases and client-specific, or custom reports. For details, see Displaying Reports.
Database Reports	Accesses reports identifying the databases being accessed. For details, see Displaying Reports.
User Activity Reports	Accesses reports identifying which users access the data. For details, see Displaying Reports.
Query Reports	Access reports analyzing requests in detail For details, see Displaying Reports.
Field Related Reports	Access reports analyzing data accessed most frequently. For details, see Displaying Reports.
Join Reports	Access reports identifying what data is routinely joined. For details, see Displaying Reports.
Time Reports	Accesses reports identifying peak request periods For details, see Displaying Reports.
Detail Reports	Accesses reports containing system resource usage information. For details, see Displaying Reports.
Usage Monitoring	Allows you to control the usage monitoring settings that tracks requests and logs data on requests' resource usage. For details, see Usage Monitoring.
TSO Command	Enables you to exit to TSO while still in the Site/SAF session. Note: The TSO Command is available for MVS only. For details, see Usage Monitoring.
Exit Site/SAF	Leaves Site/SAF and returns to FOCUS. You can also exit Site/SAF by pressing the PF3 key. When you exit Site/SAF, you will see the following message: SITE/SAF HAS BEEN EXITED. Type FIN and press the Enter key to exit FOCUS.

The Usage Monitor

Before SiteAnalyzer can monitor request information, it must know your monitoring requirements. You must specify these requirements to the Usage Monitor through Site/SAF, the SiteAnalyzer Administrator. You can specify a range of monitoring configurations. These usage monitoring requirements are stored in SiteAnalyzer's control table (SMCNTRL) and a text file called GKTABLE is built from the control table. SiteAnalyzer consults GKTABLE to determine which requests to monitor.

SiteAnalyzer allows you to control which kinds of requests are monitored. You can enable monitoring of TABLE commands online in an interactive FOCUS session, or from an executing FOCEXEC. This is true for batch processing as well.

The following list describes the steps in the SiteAnalyzer monitoring process:

1. When a user issues a TABLE request, FOCUS calls the Usage Monitor right before it retrieves the first record for the request.

2. The Usage Monitor consults GKTABLE to determine if the request should be monitored, based on the defined monitoring configurations.

3. The Usage Monitor captures the request attributes and stores them until the request finishes retrieving data.

4. The Usage Monitor is called once more to gather resource usage statistics, and all the logged information is stored in the Usage Monitoring databases.

Reporting With SiteAnalyzer

SiteAnalyzer offers several types of reports, which show, among other things, content-planning requirements, user activity profiles, usage profiles over time, typical request structures, and columns used. These reports are divided into the following groups:

• Usage Monitoring Reports
• Database Reports
• User Activity Reports
• Query Reports
• Field Related Reports
• Join Reports
• Time Reports
• Detail Reports

For more information on these reports, see Displaying Reports.
