Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for z/OS users         *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 1. There's no information available     *
    *                          about the type of zOS container an  *
    *                          address space is running.           *
    *                       2. For JOBs using the TIME parameter   *
    *                          to constrain excess CPU usage,      *
    *                          monitoring the percentage of CPU    *
    *                          consumed will be useful.            *
    *                       3. Messages are sent by KM5JBCLS and   *
    *                          KM3GOWWT indicating possible        *
    *                          failure locating ASCB addresses.    *
    *                       4. Group and create tabular view of    *
    *                          z/OS SYSPLEX metrics.               *
    *                       5. zIIP offload is enabled only for    *
    *                          data collection of UCBs.            *
    *                       6. Dedicated memory metrics not        *
    *                          reported by historical address      *
    *                          space and system real storage       *
    *                          tables.                             *
    *                       7. 4 Hour MSU may eventually show      *
    *                          no data after midnight for up to    *
    *                          4 hours.                            *
    *                       8. Abend S0C4 in KM3AGENT.KHLHCA1      *
    *                          during HLHCHKS query.               *
    *                       9. Storage growth in TEMS caused by    *
    *                          usage of SUSLOCK and SPINLOCK       *
    *                          queries.                            *
    *                      10. Many KM50000E messages seen in      *
    *                          RKLVLOG for KM5JBCLS and KM3GOWWT.  *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this PTF.                              *
    ****************************************************************
     1. The KM3ACAG code does not provide a method to capture
        the type of zOS Container the address space is running.
     2. The KM3ACAG code does not provide a method to capture
        and display the percentage of CPU consumed by a step.
     3. The error messages put by KM5JBCLS and KM3GOWWT should
        only be sent in debug mode.
     4. Group and create tabular,horizontal view of z/OS
        SYSPLEX metrics which requires less navigation time.
     5. Data collection should enable zIIP offload where
        possible to reduce GCPU usage.
     6. Dedicated memory metrics to be reported on M5STGSUMH and
        M5STGFDTH tables.
     7. Incorrect calculation of the day value leads to a number
        of days since IPL to be incorrect.
     8. Agent routine KM3ACASM does not correctly reset the agent
        environment upon exit.
     9. Agent routines for SUSLOCK and SPINLOCK queries to be
        updated to reset variables after GPMSERVE call.
    10. Agent routines should only issue KM50000E message when
        tracing is on.
    

Problem conclusion

  •  1. Workspaces using the ASCPUUTIL attributes group as well
        as the KM3ACAG have been updated to show if zContainer
        or zCPA container is runnng in the address space.
     2. Workspaces using the ASCPUUTIL attributes group as well
        as the KM3ACAG have been updated to compute and show the
        percentage of CPU consumed by the current step.
     3. New instructions will prevent the emission of the error
        messages and them will show up only when debug mode is
        explicitly requested.
     4. KM5STRTK workspace was updated to handle both LPAR and
        SYSPLEX metrics in tabular view.
     5. zIIP offload is enabled where possible throughout the
        data collection subtask and for KM5.REALSTOR queries.
     6. Dedicated memory metrics now reported on M5STGSUMH and
        M5STGFDTH tables.
     7. The incorrect calculation for days since IPL was fixed
        by using a different algorithm in XRMSU classic command.
     8. Agent routine KM3ACASM updated to correctly reset the
        agent environment upon exit.
     9. Agent routines for SUSLOCK and SPINLOCK queries
        updated to reset variables after GPMSERVE call.
    10. Agent routines updated to issue KM50000E message only
        when tracing is on.
