Report ECB heap control table statistics

The initial ECB heap control table (IEHCT) allows each ECB to reference 151 heap nodes, more than this requires the ECB to get system heap to extend its IEHCT.As PJ44907 highlights, this process can cause a bottleneck on the system heap lock and d...

CCSONP - NO DISPENSE IF MOD PAIR (or Mod) TOO BUSY

It's been years since “ALL” TPF MOD PAIRs (P&D) have produced the same performance and this disparity is getting worse with FICON; due to multiple device activity per channel, hundreds of devices per frame, tens of channels per CPU and tens of...

TPFAR needs more flexibility in choosing the Complex Name

TPFAR does not allow for the flexibility of having a Complex Name that is different from the CTKI specified complex name. We should have the option to choose the TPFAR complex name for each TPF system.

ECBRM/ECB Owner Collection - add retention to FS files

When running ZECBM Collect or ZMOWN Collect, the file system is used to hold the .csv results file and in the case of ZMOWN, the config file. This file is pulled off TPF but the online file is left and must be manually cleaned up. For ZECBM Collec...

ECBRM LSETNAME=DEFAULT should be required to prevent erroneous update of the default ECBRM values.

In developing our processes for measuring resource usage and setting up ECBRM in PSS, we feel that application programmers could omit the LSETNAME= parm on the ZECBM SET command which would cause the default table to be updated erroneously. We wou...
