MP1B: IBM MQ - Interpreting accounting and statistics data, and other utilities

Download


Abstract

This SupportPac contains a program for formatting IBM MQ statistics and accounting SMF records. There are other programs that help you monitor your IBM MQ system on z/OS.

Download Description

This SupportPac provides an improved program for printing accounting and statistics available in IBM MQ for z/OS.

It also provides a program that monitors queue and channel information, producing output that can be processed by a spreadsheet to monitor data over time.

Possible Uses
Processing the IBM MQ SMF data, and giving suggestions on some possible out of line conditions.
The monitoring programs can be used to show usage of queues and channels over time

New in this Release

  • Added the new message manager data records and queue statistics introduced with OpenTelemetry support for IBM MQ for z/OS. Refer to Interpreting IBM MQ for z/OS performance statistics in the IBM Documentation to learn about these new statistics.
    • New message manager data records exposed via a new MOTELCSV DD.
    • New queue statistics exposed via a new QOTELCSV DD.
    • All new statistics are appended to the existing, non-CSV DDs.
  • Fixes for the following defects:
    • Page set and buffer pool values are in the incorrect columns in the QSUML DD output.
    • Incorrect values are displayed in the "After I/O time in uSec" column in the log statistics for queue managers running versions earlier than MQ 9.4.0.
For more information about these changes, refer to the "Changes history" section of the MQSMF PDF documentation.

Installation Instructions

Follow the link to Fix Central in the Download Package section of this page.

Select the mp1b_5_11 file, and accept the license when prompted. This is the latest version of MP1B and is compatible with all supported versions of MQ for z/OS.

Download the MP1B compressed file to a temporary directory.
Decompress the .zip file.
Copy the two binary files from the extracted .zip archive into XMIT format data sets on your z/OS machine. This can be achieved using SFTP to copy the binaries to USS. From the extracted archive directory, start an SFTP session and issue:
put mp1b*.xmit.bin
Using SSH or an OMVS shell, issue the following commands to transfer the Unix files into z/OS data sets:
cp -P "RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3200" mp1b.load.xmit.bin "//'<DSN>.MP1B.LOAD.XMIT'"
cp -P "RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=3200" mp1b.jcl.xmit.bin "//'<DSN>.MP1B.JCL.XMIT'"
 
Now you can TSO RECEIVE the XMIT data sets into their destinations:
TSO RECEIVE INDSN(MP1B.JCL.XMIT)
TSO RECEIVE INDSN(MP1B.LOAD.XMIT)
Note: you may need to specify the output data set name when asked for restore parameters, for example:
DA('<HLQ>.MP1B.JCL')
DA('<HLQ>.MP1B.LOAD')
Further instructions for how to use MP1B can be found inside PDFs in the installed package.
