Get the CPU% info in Report Class / Service Class Metrics in ITM Warehouse - as same as the EPILOG RSCL report

In the ITM with OM-XE for z/OS , we could not get the Report Class , Service Class cpu% in historical collector. Checked the WPA relative metrics , we could not find the CPU usage % value to evaluate the performance of each customized Report/Servi...

Known ENQ conflict overrides possible other important conflicts in LPAR overview

we are running a z/OS sysplex with 2 systems. There a software uses an ENQ mechanism to control that only one instance of a STC is active. Since this ENQ is activated while IPL, it's always the one with the longest possible enqueue wait time, but ...

Additional attributes in the Address_Space_Bottlenecks (ASGNWAIT) table in TEP

At the moment we cannot verify how the CPU_Loop_Index values are calculated. Based on the TDW data are not able to follow back the high CPU_Loop_Index value.As per the description the value is calculated the following way: CPU Loop IndexThe sum of...

Enabel the EPILOG in OMEGAMON z/OS in the future

Hi support, In the PID - 5698-T01 , the lastest version in OM-z/OS V550, withdrew the EPILOG support from V530. In the document, the alternately method - RMF III near term history is instead. But we found the RMF III report only get the SYSTEM lev...

RMF CPC Report Retrieval Reliabilty Improvements

To obtain CPC-level metrics for all LPARs running on a CPC the OMEGAMON PlexView agent KM5PDAG issues a system level query that drives a system level agent (KM5LDAG) on an RTEMS selected from an internally built list of all M5 RTEMSs running on th...

Workspace with an enterprise overview about the current status for each CPC RMF DDS CPC report

We need a workspace that shows the current RTEMS selected for each CPC's RMF DDS CPC report retrieval. With that overview it would be easier to anaylse communication issues and prevent switching on the PlexView agent tracing to provide a friendly ...

Information % of step CPU limit used in TEPS

We monitor the % of step CPU limit used by a job, configuring PSCU exception. It warns when any address space uses up more than nn% of the CPU time allowed in the current job step (where nn is the threshold for this address space). This helps us ...

Have Omegamon for z/OS show JES2 spool details for multiple JES2 subsystems

We have a number of LPARs running more than one JES2 subsystem. Currently we can only setup alerts (example: Spool reaching x% full) for the primary JES2 subsystem. The other JES2 subsystem(s) are invisible in Omegamon for z/OS and so no alert can...
