The agent code that processes requests for Subscription/Topic definitions will only request SYSTEM definitions if there is not some other filtering specified. The intent of this extra checking was to prevent requests that returned large amounts of data. The information below describes how to get user defined definitions. For product provided workspaces: The Subscriptions Definitions workspace contains information about all system defined subscriptions. To display definitions for non-system subscriptions, then use the MQ Search function. ... [More]

A few years ago my husband took our CD collection and gave them a new home in our attic. The space in the corner of our dining room that was once clogged with my sizable CD collection was now inhabited by a sleek little device called a “Media Server”. We not only had access to the music that was on our CDs, but were able to use the same device to access our burgeoning MP3 file set. Initially I missed the CDs. I missed buying CDs, the tactile nature of the physical media, and I just couldn't see how that little machine in the... [More]

Before you configure the SAP agent, you must import the IBM Tivoli Monitoring transport in the SAP system to support data collection. When you import the transport request, Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) dumps for statistics with keywords, such as ITM-ITM-ILED_STAT_FILE_READ_REMOTE or ITMD_STAT_FILE_STATRECS_FRAM might be generated. These ABAP dumps for statistics can cause the import operation to fail. Cause The ABAP dumps for statistics are generated due to any of the following reasons: The SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFMONITOR job...

Hello all,   Just a quick update here to let you know I've made a Youtube video about how to run tcrpdcollect.  You're likely to be asked for the output of this script when you log a PMR with us for some assistance with TCR.  9 times out of 10, the script completes without any bother and we have everything we need to troubleshoot your issue, but that 1 out of 10 is where it appears to run properly, but doesn't collect everything we need for the issue.  This video will show you how to run the script, and how to...

Hello folks, Following on from my first "helping us to help you" post, here's another insight into IBM Support - What happens with your PMR once you log it.  We know that sometimes it can be frustrating to be asked questions from multiple teams, or asked for logs multiple times, so I want to try and shed a little light on exactly why we do that. So let's say you've logged your PMR and you've sent us all the information we've asked for to begin our investigation.  Depending on what Geo you're logging... [More]
