Integrate TPFDF Data Collection and reporting

Abstract: Integrate DF data collection and reporting into overall IBM performance collection and reporting utilities as a selectable option.
Description: The current DF data collection package limits proactive TPFDF database analysis. The utility to capture the metrics collected with the current utility should be integrated into the IBM data collection packages so that data transport and reporting of DF metrics can managed more comprehensively. This integration should be done such that the DF collector can be engaged as a distinct option within the standard data collection options. In addition, the option to collect DF metrics should coexist with other existing TPF data collection and Continuous data collection options. Sampling the DF data may be appropriate and encouraged as a means to reduce the overhead associated with the collection process.
Critical Success Factors: Bulk transfer medium of DF collection data must include z/OS as one of the suitable processing platforms for this data.

TPF/AR should not be the only transport medium provided.

Collection overhead should be minimized.

Reporting should include summary of overall TPFDF data as well as more detailed reporting of metrics by physical record.

DF data collection options for collecting and reporting should consider sampling.
Solution Considerations: Migration to the integrated IBM data collection (including DF) or the continuous data collection package that integrates DF collection metrics must not require TPFDF.
