PI23160: EXTERNAL (NON-QCF) RESPONSE TIME REPORTS ARE INACCURATE DUE TO QCF NOT HANDLING CERTAIN FIELDS CORRECTLY UPON RELOAD

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• External (non-QCF) response time reports (such as RMF III)
  are not showing the correct actual time in response time
  fields, due to QCF not properly updating a certain WLM prefix
  field ( MSGMGATM ) upon message reloads. Since this field is
  used for transaction response time calculations and various
  other preformance statistics it must be updated to reflect
  the proper time.
