When using IFASMFDL for extracting SMF-data, job might end with RC=08-0804 if no data is in the log stream

See also case TS017633432. In brief: we are writing SMF data to logstreams (As recommended by IBM). We are having different LogStreams in order to pre-select the SMF-records. On Log-Stream is for DB2-SMF records in which we collect records 100:102...

Allow to populate inactive logger couple dataset with logger policy

When preparing a new sysplex, it is possible to populate other couple datasets like CFRM and SFM in advance with a suitable policy, so that the policies are in place right from the first start of the sysplex. This would be especially useful to be ...

System Logger offload monitoring should create a diagnostic dump upon detection of an offload delay.

System Logger offload monitoring provides notification of delays in log stream offload processing with the goal of allowing an installation to take action to prevent log streams filling to capacity, which would result in the failure of IXGWRITE re...

Logstream offload data set parser.

In the event of failures (CDS issues, I/O errors, etc) that make the existing IXGBRWSE interface incapable of reading logstream logblocks, provide a primitive interface that reads directly from an individual offload data set or range of offload da...

Sizing IXGBRWSE BUFFLEN / System Logger IXGBRWSE Performance Enhancement

RC08 RSN80F (IXGRSNCODEBADBUFSIZE) is returned by System Logger when the data result of an IXGBRWSE invocation is too large to fit into the buffer provided by the caller. Currently, the recommended method to determine the BUFFLEN necessary for an ...

ixglogr offload elapsed records

For effective tuning of the system logger it would be advantageous to have the data for offload elapsed times available. Currently this would only seem to be available through a ctrace. this request is to enable records for offload elapsed to be a...

OFFLOAD logstream program IXGM1OFL does not tell which logstream is offloaded

when program IXGM1OFL program is used to offload a logstream, it does a WTO of message IXG273I or IXG274I. Procedure which calls IXGM1OFL is IXGOFLDS. IXG273I or IXG274I does not indicate the logstream name. Without the indication of the logstream...

Avoid hang of System Logger's End-of-Memory Resource Manager IXGR1EOT

A hang of System Logger's End-of-Memory (EOM) Resource Manager IXGR1EOT prevented effective cleanup for 4 minutes thus also locking out other relevant EOM Resource Managers during this period.

IXGDELET range including the block in the BLOCKID parameter

Requesting a new option to IXGDELET a range of blocks older than specified in the BLOCKID parameter AND including the block specified in the BLOCKID parameter. Our application has regular cycles of IXGBRWSE READCURSOR and IXGDELET BLOCKS=RANGE to ...

Implement IXGINVNT REQUEST=CHECKDEF EXTRACT=YES and return all logstream names in a sysplex

It would be useful to go ahead and implement IXGINVNT REQUEST=CHECKDEF EXTRACT=YES. It would be nice to have information like the system name the logstream belongs to, status of the logstream, what kind of logstream it is, *DASDONLY*, PRODUCTION o...
