DCOLLECT reporting using Java

EasySMF:JE version 2.2.1 added support for DCOLLECT records.

DCOLLECT reports using Java are fast and powerful. Programs can run on z/OS on zIIP processors, or DCOLLECT data can be downloaded to another platform for reporting.

Sample reports are provided for several different scenarios:

  • Space by SMS storage group and volume
  • Space by high level qualifier, on primary volumes and HSM ML1 and ML2
  • Space by time since last reference (7 days, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years)
  • Aged datasets – datasets on primary volumes with a last reference data older than a cutoff e.g. 5 years
  • Datasets by migration date (7 days, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years)
  • Frequently migrated datasets – datasets that are being migrated and recalled frequently
  • zEDC compression statistics by high level qualifier

Samples are also provided to compare 2 different DCOLLECT runs and find what changed:

  • Change in space by storage group
  • Change in space by the top 50 high level qualifiers
  • Change in space for selected dataset names

Convert DCOLLECT Records to JSON format​

DCOLLECT records can also be converted to JSON format, for use with Splunk, Excel or other JSON reporting tools.
