Client Access numbers in Performance tools

Hi all

I have what is hopefully a simple question for those more versed in the
performance tools measurement than I am:

How is the count of transactions and the average response value for client
access calculated on the workload report ?

My goal is to create a couple of simple graphs showing transactions and
response time as an average per day over the course of a month, and also as
an average for each hour during the day. Ideally I woudl like to break this
up to correspond to the Performance report and have it report the same
numbers (I want an IBM report to be able to assist in validating my reporting)

I have used the various flags in the QAPMJOBS file to try and work
backwards but have not been able to duplicate the client access number
which seems to be consistently "1" on the systems I manage. Even an IBM
document I located which referenced the bit operators in the flags did not
help me solve this. I can quite readily get the interactive numbers and
duplicate the response calculations but the client access formula has thus
far eluded me.

My best guess is that this is a hangover from when SNA client access
connections were more common. Now that telnet is more commonly used the "1"
is used when there is a value in the "lines printed" part of the report for
client access jobs, but no actual interactive sessions have connected via
SNA. This makes sense to me as I seem to recall that PC support was often
slower than twinax so separating it makes sense

This begs the question - where do the report lines come from, but as I
don't need to understand that yet I can live without the answer although
I'd be highly interested. I'm guessing that it could also include lines
downloaded as I do not have (to my knowledge) any client access printers on
one system that reports lines printed unless Netserver counts as a printer.

Any comments or suggestions will be much apreciated.
