Product-specific updates

IBM OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert on z/OS 5.5
The following changes have been made:
  • IBM OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert on z/OS 5.5 was formerly known as IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Db2 Performance Expert on z/OS. The new name is reflected in all JCL templates, configuration members, and user interface panels, and is used regardless of the installed version of OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert or OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Monitor.
  • You can now configure an RTE to monitor IBM Db2 13 for z/OS. The following global parameters have been introduced:
    • GBL_DSN_DB2_LOADLIB_V13
    • GBL_DSN_DB2_RUNLIB_V13
    In addition, the JOBGEN table has been updated to include HKDB550 SMP/E data set definitions.
    Note: Several back-level products have been removed from JOBGEN. See the PTF HOLD TEXT for details.
  • The JCL templates for Db2 EXPLAIN have been simplified. A single EXPLAIN template, EXCV####, is now generated for Db2 versions 11, 12, and 13. This feature is enabled only when OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert 5.5.0 is installed.
  • Classic and static sequential Near Term History data sets can now be automatically allocated using the following new parameters:
    • KD2_PF_HIS_LOG_NUM
    • KD2_PF_HIS_SEQ_LOG_NUM
    • KD2_PF_HIS_SEQ_MCLAS
    • KD2_PF_HIS_SEQ_SCLAS
    • KD2_PF_HIS_SEQ_UNIT
    • KD2_PF_HIS_SEQ_VOLUME
    • KD2_PF_HIS_VSAM_MCLAS
    • KD2_PF_HIS_VSAM_SCLAS
    • KD2_PF_HIS_VSAM_VOLUME
    This feature is enabled only when OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert 5.5.0 is installed.

    For more information about these parameters, see KD2_PFnn_HIS - Near-Term History.

  • You can control the behavior of the Near Term History collection task during startup using the new parameter KD2_OMPE_OPTS_NTHDB2I. This parameter value is automatically added to OMPEOPTS. This new parameter can be used only when OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert 5.5.0 is installed.
  • The following parameters have been deprecated for all versions of OMEGAMON for Db2 Performance Expert:
    • KD2_OMPE_E2E_MON_SPRT
    • KD2_DB_DB2_USEFLG
    • KD2_PF_SH_D2SHSQLC
    • KD2_PF_SH_D2SHSQLI
    • KD2_PF_READA_SPMON
    • KD5_DB_OPM_E2ESQLHN_TCP_HOST
    • KD5_DB_OPM_E2ESQLPT_PORT_NUM
    • KD5_DB_OPM_E2ESECURE_SECURE
    These parameters are ignored by Configuration Manager and PARMGEN.
