VSAM/OSAM Databases situations

You can take corrective action if database activity cause errors.

IMS_DB_Dyn_Backout_Error
The IMS system has had a problem when trying to dynamically back out of a change to a database. When this exception occurs, verify that the database identified by the exception is still usable and contains the correct data.

The formula is: VSAM/OSAM_Databases.Dynamic_Backout_Error EQ Yes

IMS_DB_I/O_Errors
The IMS system had a write error when trying to update the database identified in this exception. Examine this database to determine if the data is still usable and valid.

The formula is: VSAM/OSAM_Databases.Write_Error EQ Yes

IMS_OSAM_Rate_High_Critical
The OSAM data set I/O rate has exceeded the threshold. When the rate for any database is high, it might cause the applications to slow down since they end up sitting in an I/O wait status. Check the application to ensure that it is running properly.

The formula is: VSAM/OSAM_Databases.EXCP_Rate GE 60 AND VSAM/OSAM_Databases.Access_Method EQ OSAM

IMS_OSAM_Rate_High_Warning
The OSAM data set I/O rate has exceeded the threshold. When the rate for any database is high, it might cause the applications to slow down since they end up sitting in an I/O wait status. Check the application to ensure that it is running properly.

The formula is: VSAM/OSAM_Databases.EXCP_Rate GE 50 AND VSAM/OSAM_Databases.EXCP_Rate LT 60 AND VSAM/OSAM_Databases.Access_Method EQ OSAM

IMS_VSAM_Rate_High_Critical
The VSAM data set I/O rate has exceeded the threshold. When the rate for any database is high, it can cause the applications to slow down since they end up sitting in an I/O wait status. Check that the application is running properly.

The formula is: VSAM/OSAM_Databases.EXCP_Rate GE 80 AND VSAM/OSAM_Databases.Access_Method EQ VSAM

IMS_VSAM_Rate_High_Warning
The VSAM data set I/O rate has exceeded the threshold. When the rate for any database is high, it can cause the applications to slow down since they end up sitting in an I/O wait status. Check that the application is running properly.

The formula is: VSAM/OSAM_Databases.EXCP_Rate GE 30 AND VSAM/OSAM_Databases.EXCP_Rate LT 80 AND VALUE VSAM/OSAM_Databases.Access_Method EQ VSAM
