BVIR jobs to obtain historical data The following JCL can be used to request BVIR data: These jobs are also available as members in  userid .IBMTOOLS.JCL  after you have installed  the  IBMTOOLS.exe  on your host. See 11.8, “Alerts and exception and message handling” on  page 694. After you run one of these jobs, you can create various reports by using  VEHSTATS . For more  information, see “VEHSTATS reports” on page 868. Example E-1 shows the JCL in  userid .IBMTOOLS.JCL  member  BVIRHSTS . BVIRHSTS Requests the BVIR historical data for one or more days and writes the  data to the System Measurement Facility (SMF) log file. These SMF  records can then be used as input to  VEHSTATS . See Example E-1. BVIRHSTU Requests the BVIR historical data for one or more days, and writes the  data to a disk data set with  RECFM=U . The output of this job can then be  used as input to  VEHSTATS . See Example E-2 on page 856. BVIRHSTV Requests the BVIR historical data for one or more days, and writes the  data to a disk data set with  RECFM=VB . The output of this job can then  be used as input to  VEHSTATS . See Example E-3 on page 857.
