Omegamon xe on z/OS improve Soft Capping monitoring information

The information available within the SMF Record 70 Subtype 1 fields: SMF70NSW and SMF70NCA are not available at the related Omegamon on z/OS "System CPU Utilization" attributes group.

These information collected and available at the RMF level can be used to analyze the Resource requirements for a specific LPAR in a Soft Cap condition.

Using the existing attributes can be easily detected a Soft Cap situation, but without these field can become more complex to evaluate the duration of the Soft Cap situation and the additional resources required by every single LPAR within the group.

    Hello, Thank you for opening this product enhancement request. Some enhancements have been made in this area and are currently available, for example: the 4HR MSU OM zOS report shows the Capping at both the LPAR and LPAR Group level. If more options are required, please create a new Idea with new specific requests or reach out if you have any further questions. Regards IBM OMEGAMON Product Management
