TYPE56FA TLS Transaction Level Statistics Log Record does not show the actual Input Queue Time for PtP switches

The actual Transaction Input Queue Time can not be taken from TYPE56FA Log Records for PtP Messages processing.
Field TPINUTC, that Customer wants to subtract from field TPSTARTU to get the Input Queue Time, is in fact the Timestamp when the first Transaction of a Program-to-Program chain was enqueued.
This means that it is impossible to have the correct transaction input queue time in case of p-t-p switch solely from a TYPE56FA TLS Transaction Level Statistics Log Record.

Other external at a charge Tools like IMS Performance Analizer, that uses a different approach to calculate the transaction Input Queue Time, should be used.

Also a flag is missing in the TYEP56FA Log Record to show the Transaction was generated from a PtP Message switch (TYPE03 Inpout Log Record) rather than it came in from the network (TYPE01 Input Log Record).

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in keeping IMS a vital and successful product. Software development has continuously evolved during IMS's lifetime, and so has IMS itself. We have kept pace with, adopted, and implemented many industry standard best practices within our organization, including Continuous Delivery, Design Thinking, and Agile.

    When choosing new features to add from the list of requirements in our backlog, we assess which will bring the most value to as many clients as possible and prioritize those.

    After reviewing our prioritized backlog, we have decided to reject this RFE as we will not be able to get to this in the near future. We have other higher priority items that we are focused on.

    We appreciate your input to IMS, and we hope that you will continue to submit ideas for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IMS.

    Thank you.

    After reviewing this request for enhancement and assessing its potential value, our decision is to add this item to our backlog. Items in our backlog are expected to be delivered within the next 18 months. We reserve the right to re-prioritize our backlog items as new requests come in. This helps ensure that we are constantly focused on providing the best value to all of our clients.


    Have a great day!
