PTF UJ96215 for APAR OA67130 (4Q24)

PTF UJ96215 for APAR OA67130 (4Q24) provides support in PARMGEN and Configuration Manager for IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for CICS 6.1 and IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Storage 6.1. Also, new parameters have been introduced for allocating task history data sets for the OMEGAMON for CICS Classic interface, and the default port value for the Realtime Dataset Metrics feature in OMEGAMON for Storage has changed.

OMEGAMON for CICS

Updates have been made for the latest release of the product and earlier versions, as follows:
IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for CICS 6.1
  • The product has been renamed to IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for CICS (OMEGAMON AI for CICS). It was formerly named IBM Z OMEGAMON for CICS.
  • Agent startup delay commands have been added.
IBM OMEGAMON for CICS 5.5, IBM Z OMEGAMON for CICS 5.6, IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for CICS 6.1
  • Initialization of the task history data set (RKC2HIST) for the Classic interface is no longer performed during configuration. The KOCONV00 program call has been removed.
  • For allocating the task history data set (RKC2HIST) for the Classic interface, the following parameters (with respective default values) have been introduced: 
    KC2_HS01_CLASSIC_VSAM_VOLUME      "%RTE_SMS_VSAM_VOLUME%"
KC2_HS01_CLASSIC_VSAM_STORCLAS    "%RTE_SMS_VSAM_STORCLAS%"
KC2_HS01_CLASSIC_VSAM_MGMTCLAS    "%RTE_SMS_VSAM_MGMTCLAS%"
KC2_HS01_CLASSIC_VSAM_DATACLAS    ""

    These parameters define the allocation properties for the Classic interface VSAM data sets, replacing the use of the RTE_SMS_VSAM_* parameters.

    To use the new parameters to allocate new data sets in existing runtime environments, you must manually set the parameters, as follows:
    Using Configuration Manager
    Define the new parameters in member KC5$PARM or KC5$lpar in your runtime environment definition (RTEDEF) library.
    Using PARMGEN
    In new runtime environments, the values for the new parameters are resolved based on existing RTE_SMS_VSAM_* values, and the parameters are commented out.

    During the Set up/Refresh PARMGEN work environment step (option 1 on the Workflow - Primary Option Menu), these new parameters are added with the values set to empty.

OMEGAMON for Storage

Updates have been made for the latest release of the product and earlier versions, as follows:
IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Storage 6.1
  • The product has been renamed to IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Storage (OMEGAMON AI for Storage). It was formerly named IBM OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS.
  • Member KS3AINIT in data set RKANPARU now contains only a Realtime Dataset Metrics (RDM) port value.
  • Parameter KDF_VTS_VTSHIST is no longer used.
IBM OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS 5.4, IBM OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS 5.5, IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Storage 6.1
  • The default value for parameter KS3_RDM_PORT has been changed from 48903 to 0.
    Important:
    • For Configuration Manager users: If you previously used the default RDM port value and did not specify parameter KS3_RDM_PORT in member KS3$PARM or KS3$lpar in your runtime environment definition (RTEDEF) library, you must explicitly define the parameter and value after applying this maintenance. Otherwise, port 0 is used.
    • For PARMGEN users: The value that is in use for parameter KS3_RDM_PORT in your runtime environment continues to be used after applying this maintenance. No action is required.

Job generator utility (JOBGEN) updates

Support has been added for IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for CICS 6.1 and IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Storage 6.1 in the job generator utility (JOBGEN).
