Issue/Introduction

The following error messages appear starting Sysview after applying maintenance:

13.00.01 STC04321  IXG231I IXGCONN REQUEST=CONNECT TO LOG STREAM GSVX.SMFDATA.SMFD.ABCD  001
    001             DID NOT SUCCEED FOR JOB SYSVIEW.  RETURN CODE: 00000008  REASON CODE:
    001             0000080B  DIAG1: 00000000  DIAG2: 00000000  DIAG3: 00000000  DIAG4:
    001             00000000
13.00.01 STC04321  GSV2808I (SMFDATA) Specified log stream name not defined in the LOGR policy.
13.00.01 STC04321  GSVX554E (SMFDATA) IXGCONN CONNECT failed, log stream name not defined

The GSVX.SMFDATA.SMFD.ABCD is not defined in LOGR nor is it defined in the PARMLIB members SMFDATA and SVWVDSLB.

Why there is an attempt to connect to an undefined Log Stream?

Environment

Release: 17.0; 16.0

Component: SYSVIEW

Cause

Customers running with release 16.0 should include ptf SO16108. This enhancement ptf adds a new Event Capture option named Dynamic SMF Log stream Browsing (DSLB), which allows records being written to SMF to be collected and logged in one or more CA SYSVIEW log streams based on a subscription list.        

Implementation

The ++HOLD of SO16108 documents the steps to implement the Dynamic SMF Log stream Browsing (DSLB) feature.

One of the steps is to add the following option to the SMFDATA parmlib:                                                                                                                      

DynamicSMFLogstreamDefinitions   NONE|WARM|COLD       

If SMFDATA does not contain this option with a value of COLD the Definitions are loaded from the CA SYSVIEW persistent data store so Sysview tries to connect with an old Data Logger.

Resolution

Update the SMFDATA parmlib member, specifying "COLD" for the DynamicSMFLogstreamDefinitions parameter. To implement, (re)start the SYSVIEW and SYSVUSER address spaces, specifying "COLD" option in the SYSVIEW proclib member or on the MVS start command.

Additional Information

  • There is no release 17.0 enhancement ptf as the parameter is included in the base product. Customers converting will need to ensure the DynamicSMFLogstreamDefinitions parameter specifies "COLD" prior to (re)starting SYSVIEW
