Improve timing and history collection of Z/OS Omegamon

We have an open case TS015680477 about a collection problem that we are having for history data in Z/OS omegamon when we use the data to visualize, it is configured at the customer's request to collect every 1 minute, this is causing a problem of data duplicity. As explained by L2, the problem is the collection by GPMSERVER, which leads to this problem.

We would like a way for the collection to not generate the same data several times, causing discrepancies and confusing information.

    I saw that in our customer.

    I have some ideias.
    1 - If 1 minute collection is not possible, should not have the option for that. And this is critical because allowing and using that creates "false" data.
    2 - Some data comes from DDS server which in general defaults to 5 minutes interval. Some other data may come from Omegamon itself which is possible to have 1 minute interval. But should have a better advice from where data is coming and what interval is available.

    Another consideration.
    I agree that 5 minutes interval is appropriate in some systems because there is a high workload. But in general at Development systems in general there is not high workload but the level of detail is very very important for debugging.
