Operator Alerts attributes

The Operator Alerts attribute group identifies the various types of operator alerts that can be issued by IBM® Z OMEGAMON AI for z/OS.

ASVT Slot Utilization A percentage that represents the maximum number of address space vector table slots that are in use or unavailable. ASVT slots contain the list of address spaces and are used to allocate address space control blocks (ASCBs). The system cannot create new address spaces when it runs out of slots. Valid value is a 4-byte integer.

GRS Status Status of the GRS configuration and connection. Valid values are BROKEN, RING, or STAR.

  • BROKEN indicates the configuration is broken.
  • RING indicates the configuration of the GRS is a ring.
  • STAR indicates the configuration of the GRS is a star.

GTF Active Whether or not GTF is active. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE.

HSM Recall Wait Time The wait time in seconds of the longest single HSM recall that is waiting. Valid value is a 4-byte integer.

Managed System The z/OS operating system in your enterprise that is being monitoring by an IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for z/OS monitoring agent. Valid value is a character string with a maximum length of 32 bytes.

OLTEP Active Whether or not OLTEP is active. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE. OLTEP is used primarily by your hardware representative to run diagnostics on hardware devices. It can drastically affect the performance of your system because of its high resource utilization.

Outstanding Operator Replies Count of outstanding Write to Operator with Reply operations. Valid value is a 4-byte integer.

Reserve Utilization The ASVT Reserve utilization. The RSVNONR specification reserves a number of ASVT slots to replenish ASVT slots in the MAXUSER or RSVSTRT pools, which are marked nonreusable at address space termination. There are times in the life of an IPL when an address space will go away and its corresponding slot in the ASVT will be marked nonreusable. When this occurs, the nonreusable slot is replaced by a slot from the RSVNONR pool. However, when the RSVNONR pool is exhausted, the slots in the MAXUSER or RSVSTRT pool cannot be replaced and are often lost for the remainder of the IPL. When the number of RSVNONR slots falls below 5% of that specified in IEASYSxx, the system produces: msgIEA061E REPLACEMENT ASID SHORTAGE HAS BEEN DETECTED. IEA061E is an indication that address space termination may soon result in a decrease in the number of active ASIDs that may be running.

RMF Not Active Whether or not RMF is active. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE. The RMF Monitor I is a background subtask of the RMF address space. It collects performance information such as resource utilization and response time data and can be used to help identify performance problems.

SMF Not Recording Whether or not SMF is recording information. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE.

SYSLOG Not Recording Whether or not the SYSLOG is recording information. Valid values are TRUE or FALSE. The SYSLOG records all console activity, providing an information trail that can be used to research problems or verify that jobs have run in the proper sequence.

WTO Buffers Remaining The count of remaining WTO buffers. You can use the z/OS DISPLAY CONSOLES command to list all of the defined consoles and the number of WTO buffers each one is holding. Note: If you run out of WTO buffers, the Master console may become locked out, causing the system to hang. Valid value is a 4-byte integer.
