PARMGEN PTF UA76016 for APAR OA46184 (1Q15 Interim Feature)

New WCONFIG RTE LPAR profile parameters

• Provide the flexibility to override the JCL REGION value in all PARMGEN jobs, including the KCIJPCFG, KCIJPPRF, KCIJPUP1, and $PARSE* related jobs in “Set-up PARMGEN work environment”. KCIP@PG2 panel externalizes the new GBL_REGION field for customer overrides.
• 3 New global RTE_* parameters to support the SmartCloud Analytics - Log Analysis (SCA-LA) and Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) integration parameters.
  • RTE_SCALA_ENABLED_FLAG
  • RTE_SCALA_HOST
  • RTE_SMFID
• Parameter RTE_KCIJPSYS_INCLUDE_STEP_KDS provides the flexibility to exclude generating the ASMKDS KDSMTAB1 LU62 logmode table assembly and link step in the xKANSAMU(KCIJPSYS) system copy and processor job.
• Parameter RTE_X_STC_INAPF_MEMBER_NAME defines the optional INAPF name (default is IBMAPF). Override the INAPF member name in the RTE_X_STC_INAPF_MEMBER_NAME parameter if the default IBMAPF member needs to cater to multiple versions of the product started tasks in a given LPAR.
• RTE_X_STC_START_MEMBER_NAME and RTE_X_STC_STOP_MEMBER_NAME parameters define optional composite START/STOP PROC names (default is IBMSTRT/IBMSTOP, respectively). Override the /S, /P composite STCs if the default IBM* names need to cater to multiple versions of the product started tasks in a given LPAR.
• KI2_ICnn_* parameter is for OMXE for IMS, support new KI2_IC* I/CF profile parameters to support I/CF Console Commands or the I/CF Trap Command parameters generated in the OMXE IMS RKANCMDU(KI2START) startup member.

Changed default values for existing WCONFIG RTE LPAR profile parameters

• KDS_KMS_SDA for TEMS is set to “N” by default. Prior default was not set to any value (KDS_KMS_SDA was commented out in the LPAR RTE profile).
• Kpp_AGT_STORAGE_MINIMUM_EXTEND for common TEMS and agents increases the new default value to MINIMUM(384000,X) and support QUIESCE(96,X,F) and QUIESCE(99,X,C) xKANPARU(KppSYSIN) TMS:Engine startup parameters for TEMS and all Agents.
• KD2_PFnn_HIS_BUFSIZE for OMXE for DB2 changes Thread Near-term History (NTH) buffer size from 1024 to 2048.
• KD2_DBnn_PWH_D2PWSTBP for OMXE for DB2 changes default of Performance Warehouse bufferpool from BP0 to BP32K.
• KD2_PFnn_HIS_LOGn for OMXE for DB2 changes default Thread NTH VSAM log datasets from 3 VSAMs to 7 VSAMs (RKD2VSnn).
• Comments updated in the KM5_* RTE profile to add note about Non-Sysplex RTEs.
• KMV_X_AGT_STORAGE_LIMIT_PRIMARY for OMEGAMON DE on z/OS increases OMEGAVIEW LIMIT() primary storage request from 17,P to 19,P.

New WCONFIG(Kpp$*) override imbeds

• New WCONFIG(KCI$SLOG) for RKLVSNAP/RKLVLOG. TMS:Engine-based product started tasks (TEMS, CUA, Agents) will remove these DDs from the product started tasks, and instead, PARMGEN will replace the DDs with a customer-controlled WCONFIG imbed called WCONFIG(KCI$SLOG) that gets imbedded during $PARSE* job.
• New WCONFIG(Kpp$SDMP) SYS%DUMP DD - TMS:Engine-based product started tasks (TEMS, CUA, Agents) that currently have a SYSUDUMP DD, will remove it from the product started tasks that currently hardcode a SYSUDUMP DD, and instead, PARMGEN will replace as a customer-controlled WCONFIG imbed called WCONFIG(Kpp$SDMP) (one per product). Current products that have a hardcoded SYSUDUMP DD are:
  • TEMS (KDS)
  • OMEGAMON XE for Storage CUA (KDF)
  • OMEGAMON XE for IMS (Classic KOI STC per IMS subsystem and CUA KI2)
  • OMEGAVIEW (KMV)
  • OMEGAMON XE on z/OS Classic KOM and CUA KM2
  • OMEGAMON XE for Mainframe Networks CUA (KON).
• New WCONFIG(KDF$PSCN) imbed for MSR monitoring and dataset monitoring devices options member in xKANPARU(KDFDSCIN).
• New WCONFIG(KR%$PCON) imbeds for Tivoli Advanced Storage Agents' (KRG KRH KRJ KRK KRN KRV KRW) product-specific imbed to KR%CONFG runtime members (IRAMAN startup members).

Updated WCONFIG(Kpp$*) Override Imbeds

• WCONFIG(KMQ$CUSR) imbed to W/RKANCMDU(KMQUSER) for OMXE for Messaging, updated the KMQUSER imbed comments to highlight the importance of supported dynamic commands.
• WCONFIG(KDS$PENV/KAG$PENV/KDF$PENV/KM2$PENV) imbed to W/RKANPARU(KppENV) for common KDS TEMS/common KAG* Agents/OMXE Storage and z/OS CUAs (KDF/KM2), updated the KppENV imbed to add the enabled parameter “KDE_ALLOWNETIDMISMATCH=1” by default.
• WCONFIG(KDS$PENV) imbed to W/RKANPARU(KDSENV) for common KDS TEMS, updated the TEMS KDSENV imbed to add the recommended enabled parameters “MAX_CTIRA_RECURSIVE_LOCKS=150” and “KDEP_SERVICETHREADS=63” by default.
• WCONFIG(KD5$PENV) imbed to W/RKANPARU(KD5ENV) for OMXE for DB2, updated the KD5ENV imbed to add highlighted comments and placeholder “CTIRA_SUBSYSTEM_ID” parameter to feature advanced Agent implementation when there are multiple instances of the OMXE DB2 Agent in a given LPAR reporting to the same TEMS.

New PARMGEN WK* Members or Jobs

• WKANSAMU(KCIJPCOL) PDCOLLECT tailored job is a new diagnostic job created by PARMGEN to collect diagnostic information. You can select the new job on the PARMGEN Utilities menu.
• WKANSAMU(KCIJPHRC) HRECALL sample tailored job is a new utility job created by PARMGEN to help recall the RTE datasets.
• xKANPARU(KppCONFG) is new runtime members file-tailored by PARMGEN for the Tivoli Advanced Storage Agents' (KRG KRH KRJ KRK KRN KRV KRW) IRAMAN startup members. Prior to this enhancement, the product FMIDs delivered default members that required customers to manually copy to RKANPARU dataset and manually add “HLQ=” customization.
• WCONFIG($MBDINDX) is a new WCONFIG imbed table listing in $MBDINDX (extracted from WCONFIG($JOBINDX)); both index members accommodate the new KCI$SLOG and Kpp$SDMP log-dump-related override imbeds, as well as the new Kpp$PCON imbeds to the Tivoli Advanced Storage Agents’ xKANPARU(KppCONFG) IRAMAN startup runtime members
