Workspace Db2 for z/OS

Profiles ; time between DSNT771/2I messages made variable

  Currently when a Profile is triggered (warning or exception) DSNT771/2I  are issued every 5 minutes as long as exceptions/warnings are met in the timeframe.  

 When an exception is triggered (maximum connections from IP for instance) the issue will occur across multiple data sharing members if an application has 'runaway' connection issues to Db2, this will cause continuous messages to our MVS console from every member as workload is sprayed causing a flooding issue until the server/IP in question has been corrected.  A method to make the issue of these messages variable(instead of every 5 mins from every member in group make it alter-able to say 15 mins or whatever is acceptable) would be beneficial to limit messages for a known issue while still reporting on the problem.

    Dear Roger,

    Thank you for submitting this Db2 for z/OS enhancement request. We have reviewed this request and believe it is a good candidate for the Db2 for z/OS product. However, it does not align within functionality prioritized for delivery within the next 12 months. Therefore, unfortunately, we will not be considering this idea at this time.

    The current solution is for your monitoring tool to capture the IFCID 402 information you need without the need of scraping the console for profile messages.

    We appreciate your input to the Db2 for z/OS development team. 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
