High availability for IMS CDC in a SYSPLEX environment

We are currently implementing CDC for IMS in our Production environment. This consists of 2 IMS v15.2 systems running on 2 different LPAR's, in a SYSPLEX. The OS on both are currently z/OS 2.3. CDC for IMS runs on 1 LPAR, replicating the LOGS o...

Allow CECD0015E to inform user where error was found

CECD0015E error message is cryptic at best. It does not allow the customer (user) to make any determination as to the cause of the error or the ability to fix the error. In order to currently fix the error, the user MUST contact IBM with JESLOG an...

Classic CDC needs to alert on Delete/Define operation on source VSAM file

when a delete/define operation occurs on a source vsam file which is enabled for replication (LOGREPLICATE), it puts the source and target data out of sync and hence may cause replication to break. A warning message (CEC*W) may be helpful for oper...

For each job, records the number of execution host CPU cores in the job's table

As we evaluate the utility of SMT2/4/8, we would like to be able to measure the performance difference of the applications at scale by recording the number of slots of the compute host for every job. This would achieved by adding a tinyint unsigne...

Provide Access to Job Buckets for Analysis

Currently RTM contains quite a bit of information on current cluster state, but it provides limited information about the state of the scheduler, what job buckets exists, and the dispatch rate from these various buckets. Create an interface that p...

Add Memory Statistics to Daily Statistics

When I wrote the daily statistics interface years ago, I had very little comprehension of the concept of Memory Efficiency, and therefore did not add memory_reserved, and mem_used, and max_memory to the daily statistics tables. But in todays HPC, ...

Increase max export rows for RTM

The default maximum number of rows RTM can export to Excel is 50k. It's possible to increase this (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/modify-number-export-rows-you-can-set-rtm-console), but would be nice to have a larger option built into RTM.
