Issue/Introduction

IDB2UIFI UNLDHIST unload data process saved Insight History to SMF format.  The output (Insight History file in SMF format) was used as input  to OM/PM job. The job abended with a soc4 processing the SMF Accounting data. The job processing SMF statistics were successfully.

How can this be fixed?

Environment

Release : 20.0

Component : CA SYSVIEW Performance Management Option for DB2 for z/OS

Resolution

The S0C4 in the DB2PM program appears to have been a wild branch. IBM or Rocket should probably look at it. From the dump, IDB2 batch reports  process the file correctly. There were IFCID 151 (IDB2 Accounting data) records in this file. Not sure as to whether these records would cause a problem for another vendor since they are created by IDB2. Try adding a step to execute the SMF dump program to extract only IFCID 3 and 239 (excluding the 151's) from the unload file, to see if it then executes correctly. The IFCID151 is causing the problem.
