Resolution

If the customer wants to enable a metric for Green Highway processing, they can do so via the MTCAC UI (Appliance Controller) as shown in the two examples below: 

 

For non-voluminous metrics like SYSVIEW, NETMASTER, etc. , follow these steps for metric example STGRUSE%:

• Login to MTCAC
• Navigate to Configuration -> Metrics
• Go to path: z/OS System -> Memory -> STGRUSE%
• Click on STGRUSE%, then click INCLUDE PATH and then PROCESS.

• After it is processed and data starts flowing, the Customer will start seeing the metric as Green Highways versus just data points

   

For voluminous metrics like SMF 30, SMF 116 DB2 101 etc. record metrics which default to no Green Highway out of the box, follow these steps for metric example DB2GPGRX:

• Login to MTCAC
• Navigate to Configuration -> Metrics
• Go to path: DB2 ACCOUNTING MONITORING (SMF 101)  -> PLAN -> DB2GPGRX
• Click on the DB2GPGRX metric, then click the ENABLE GREEN HIGHWAY check box, then  INCLUDE PATH and then PROCESS.     Note:  The ENABLE GREEN HIGHWAY check box is only displayed for the voluminous metrics.                  

 

• After it is processed and data starts flowing, the Customer will start seeing the metric as Green Highways versus just data points
