DFSMS VSAM/RLS

Enhanced monitoring of VSAM RLS activity using z/OSMF interface

Whenever there is a need to check SMSVSAM health for contention, locks response times and record queues one has to rely upon console commands usually routed to all the LPARs that run RLS workload in order to have a big picture of what is going on....

Health Checker - VSAMRLS_QUIESCE_STATUS check

Whenever there is a situation that causes VSAMRLS_QUIESCE_STATUS to alert ( by reaching the predefined threshold for the quiesce status ) this check generates a list of the CICS regions accessible only if you go inside the check - that means you h...

provide Display SHCDS command with results that go to SYSLOG for automation.

SHCDS commands work both in batch and in the TSO/E foreground, but the output isn't available in SYSLOG. Automation around SMSVSAM/RLS issues would be easier if we could drive standard z/os commands such as /D SHCDS xxx and have output go to SYSLOG.

Request to create a new RLS command to show the name of the data sets that are allocated inside a data cache structure.

The Itau bank opened the PMR: 28951,228,631 because we didn't find a way to know the VSAM RLS data sets that were allocated inside a data cache structure. During the pmr the only way to find the name of those data sets was to check this informatio...

Merge Library SYS1.SDWWDLPA into SYS1.LPALIB

If module DWW1VS00 (alias DWW1SCSR) is not present on LPA at IPL time we will get an abend X'0C4'. That is not an obvious problem to be solved, because the message does not indicate a library missing. The Library SYS1.SDWWDLPA is critical to IPL t...

VSAM RLS Lock Information

Today VSAM RLS relies on the LISTSUBSYS(ALL) and LISTSTAT IDCAMS share control dataset commands as a way to list the CICS regions which hold locks in RLS files and to provide statistics of usage of a certain sphere. There is no information about w...

RLS should delete a RRS context interest when a dataset using TVS is closed.

RLS should delete its RRS Context when the dataset being processed via TVS is closed. This would remove client address space exposure to RLS, Context Services, and RRS issues when TVS processing is no longer occuring.

Allow masking on the SHCDS LISTSUBSYS and LISTSUBSYSDS commands

Provide the ability to mask the subsystem name in the SHCDS LISTSUBSYS and SHCDS LISTSUBSYSDS commands. Currently these commands only allow a single subsystem name or ALL subsystems. There is no granularity.

VSAM RLS KSDS to monitor pseudo splits

Bradesco Bank want IBM to add a way to monitor RLS VSAM (KSDS) 'Pseudo Split' occurrences. Customer wants to have a capability that can be used to implement a governance process for this purpose. "Pseudo split" situation is where new records are i...

Add a function to monitor transaction statistics in DFSMStvs

DFSMStvs will be part of the main IBM products at this integrated IBM client account, but there is a TVS enhancement that we want to have. We are asking IBM to implement a new TVS function to monitor transaction statistics. We want to have somethi...
