According to the help, it says “The warning percentage limit,” but it's unclear how this differs from the Warning column.
What is the Pct column displaying a percentage based on?

Environment

OS : z/OS

Release : All

Resolution

Defining rules in SYSVIEW and specifying LIMIT values for PROBLEM and WARNING triggers the rule when the monitored resource value exceeds the specified LIMIT, generating a message with an E or I suffix.

GSVXxxxxE, GSVXxxxxI, etc.

 

The suffix E is generated when the value in the PROBLEM field reaches the LIMIT, and the suffix I is generated when the value in the WARNING field reaches the LIMIT.

Regarding the PCT column, “The warning percentage limit” indicates the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the LIMIT value in the WARNING column compared to the LIMIT value in the PROBLEM column.

　※　PCT = WARNING / PROBLEM

 

<Reference : Example>

In a rule monitoring CPU usage time with PROBLEM set to 10 seconds and WARNING to 5 seconds, PCT is automatically calculated as 50.

　WARNING 5 seconds / PROBLEM 10 seconds ≈ PCT 50

 

For the CICS_DSA_UsedPct field, it would be:

　WARNING 86% / PROBLEM 95% ≈ PCT 91
