Workspace Db2 for z/OS
Created by Guest
Created on Oct 18, 2021

Better RMF API support in Db2 stats collection

Db2 can extract z/OS - LPAR related info from RMF when ZOSMETRICS ZPARM is enabled.

However for this to work in a sysplex environment it is required that EVERY member in the sysplex has the Db2 SDSNLINK library in the linklist , regardless of whether or not that sysplex member has a Db2 installed or not.
Otherwise the call to ERB3XDRS results in RC 16 RSN 91. This is the highest RC from any of the members in the sysples. The RC/RSN indicates that the data reduction exit that Db2 is using (DSNWVRMF module) could not be loaded (not found in linklist concat).

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. While we view all the enhancement requests we receive as valuable and we would like to implement all of them, in an effort to have maximum transparency we are not considering the ones that aren’t currently appearing on our 12 month product roadmap. This is not to say that these enhancements may not still be implemented at some point in the future as we do evaluate our requirements on the basis of customer demand and technical impact, to deliver maximum value to our customers.

    We appreciate your input to the Db2 for z/OS development team. And we hope that you will continue to submit enhancement suggestions for improvements as customer feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of Db2 for z/OS.

    Sincerely,

    Db2 for z/OS Team
