PTF UJ95792 for APAR OA66704 (3Q24)

Edit online

PTF UJ95792 for APAR OA66704 (3Q24) provides the ability to use the same started task procedure for multiple monitoring servers across different systems in the sysplex. Also, Configuration Manager processing has been improved by not retaining unnecessary members.

Configuration Manager-only updates

To reduce the amount of DASD space required for your runtime environment and potentially improve the performance of the KCIPARSE step in runtime environments where z/OS system variables are enabled, members that do not impact the configuration or agent functionality are no longer included. For new runtime environments, the unnecessary members will not be created. For existing runtime environments, the first time you run the GENERATE action after applying this PTF, the unnecessary members are removed from the following libraries:
  • RKANPARU
  • RKANSAMU
  • RKD2PRF
  • RKD2PAR
  • WKANPARU
  • WKANSAMU
  • WKD2PRF
  • WKD2PAR

Product-specific updates

Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server

You can now configure your environment to use the same started task procedure for multiple monitoring servers across different systems in the sysplex. This shared procedure can be used for all monitoring server types: hub, high-availability hub, remote. This capability is useful for sites where the SYS1.PROCLIB (or equivalent procedure library) must be shared across all the systems in the sysplex.

To create a shared procedure, you must use system variables and the new flag parameter KDS_TEMS_PROC_SHARED.

For more information, see How to: Use a shared procedure for multiple monitoring servers.

IBM OMEGAMON for Messaging on z/OS
Parameter KMQ_BACKUP_STC has been introduced. For information about using this parameter, see Optional configuration steps for using the queue manager backup procedure.
