    Add a table using MQS_115_216 records

    Currently there are no tables using MQS_115_216 records. It will be useful to have a table using those records.

    Enhancement for IzPCA to use a feed from zVM Performance Data Pump

    We are starting to look at using IzPCA but having to setup hourly feeds from Performance Toolkit is time consuming and requires extra code to make this work, feeding the data from Data Pump seems the more logical way to do this.

    DB2 programs that run under the TSO batch IKJEFT01

    To plan CPU/MSU consumption for batch programs, we use reports that utilize data from SMF_30, whose source is the EXEC PGM= card. Since we are executing DB2 batch programs under TSO, the program that actually executed the program does not appear i...

    As per documentation, please make sure the data load always ensures that DESCRIPTION fields are always blank if not alpha, and not HEX(0).

    This causes data validation and display issues when HEX(0) is present in a description field. e.g. SMF70SPN field in the SMF 70 record: LPAR cluster name. For z/OS®, the LPAR cluster name is the sysplex name. For any other logical partition, the L...

    Add fixed 2GB page utilization to MVSPM_PAGING_H

    In IZPCA there is currently no way to monitor how many of the total fixed 2GB LFA pages are in use. Please add to MVSPM_PAGING_H either a column for SMF71GRX or SMF71GUX from the SMF type 71 records or calculate the utilization of all defined fixe...

    Move the IMS structures above the bar, 64-bit memory

    As machines get bigger and faster, they process more IMS transactions per second and we need more storage to process this. We have run out of 31-bit storage. We'd like to move the IMS structures above the bar, 64-bit memory.

    Table MVSPM_PCIE_H: no more usable to track compression from z15

    Hi all, from Mainframe z15, the compression activity is no more executed by zEDC PCI cards, but with on-chip accelerator. This type of activity on previous models is misurable by using IZPCA table MVSPM_PCIE_H, but now it should be done using SMF ...

    Please add Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to IZPCA Tables

    We have multiple time zone LPARs. We would like to be able to work with a common time (UTC) so that data from LPARs with different time zones can be aligned correctly.

    Exploit 64-bit storage area for DRLPLC

    As we have many IMS hosted on the LPAR, 31-bit storage area is running thin. We would like to use larger BUFFER SIZE to run Collector to improve performance, but there's not much BTB storage around to share. There are plenty of real storage on the...
