The VTAM Buffer Pool Usage reports and graphs allow you to view the buffer usage for all buffer pools or a specific buffer pool for during the specified time period.
The data in these reports is collected via periodic D NET,BFRUSE commands issued by the Host Monitor and saved in VSAM data sets. The parameter governing the time interval for the periodic collection is: VTAMBUFINTERVAL, which is set in CONF00.
Note: You must explicitly set VTAMBUFINTERVAL in CONF00; if you do not, the data will not be collected.
