Reference: IMS exceptions

The following table contains an alphabetical list of the OMEGAMON for IMS exceptions. The table includes a short description of what activity each exception monitors and the name of the exception group.

Note: In the following table, the term "queue length" refers to the difference between ENQ and DEQ counts.

If all of the fixed FREs are ever in use at the same time, the AFRE exception shows the pool as 100% utilized. For more FREs, IMS must carve space out of the MFP buffer pool. These FREs are dynamic and are available as long as IMS is using them.

ROHI Displays if the message region occupancy is > nn%. OMEGAMON calculates the occupancy factor by sampling each message region once every OMEGAMON cycle, to see whether OMEGAMON scheduled a transaction. As this is a statistical method, the data is not significant until there is a relatively large number of samples. OMEGAMON bypasses this exception until it takes at least 120 samples. If the interval setting for the OMEGAMON is five seconds, there is a 10 minute delay for OMEGAMON to calculate occupancy. OMEGAMON does not automatically treat WFI region occupancy as 100%, and considers only a WFI region occupied if the region is not in the waiting for input state. For the occupany factor calculation, OMEGAMON maintains only samples fewer than 60 minutes old. Therefore, the region occupancy is an average over the preceding hour. As message regions stop and restart, OMEGAMON begins the calculation again. A sample exception message is ROHI MPP 'MESSAGE': Region Occupancy = 93.84% (High). Message Processing (High)
ROLO Displays if the message region occupancy is < nn%. OMEGAMON calculates the occupancy factor by sampling each message region once every OMEGAMON cycle, to see whether OMEGAMON scheduled a transaction. Because it is a statistical method, the data is not significant until there is a relativley large number of samples. OMEGAMON bypasses this exception until it takes at least 120 samples. If the interval setting for the OMEGAMON is five seconds, there is a 10 minute delay for OMEGAMON to calculate occupancy. OMEGAMON does not automatically treat WFI region occupancy as 100%, and considers only a WFI region occupied if the region is not in the waiting for input state. For the occupancy factor calculation, OMEGAMON only maintains samples fewer than 60 minutes old. Therefore, the region occupancy is an average over the preceding hour. As message regions stop and restart, OMEGAMON begins the calculation again. A sample exception message is ROHI MPP 'MESSAGE': Region Occupancy = 6.72% (Low). Message Processing (Low)
RSRV Displays if there is no VTAM connection to the RSR Tracking System. The VTAM connection between the ACTIVE IMS and the TRACKING IMS is not available. The VTAM connection is only available from the ACTIVE IMS.

A non-competing transaction is a transaction that is unable to run for some reason other than the competition for IMS resources. Examples are a transaction where you stopped the transaction code or a transaction that requires the use of a stopped database.
