Issue/Introduction

We are TSD enabling some of our SYSVIEW CICS and MQ Metrics such that they are sent to MOI or WatchTower. 

Specifically for MQ we have coded the following:

    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:=:ENABLE                                        
                                                                            
*. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *     
*   Specify Time Series Data (TSD) to be collected  *     
*. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *     
                                                                            
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:=:NOTSD                                         
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQBPUSE%:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQPSET%_:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQDCONA%:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQDCONC%:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQL1TOT%:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQL2TOT%:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQGETS_:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQGETSR:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQPUTS_:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQPUTSR:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQREQS__:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQDEPTH:TSD                                    
    VARIABLE-SET      WEBMQ:MQQFULL%:TSD                                    
                                                                            
                                                                            
)EOF                                        /* Logical End of File   */     

 

Now if we want to filter this by MQ address space or even queue name is this possible? Or does TSD enabling force us to send all MQ PUT / GET requests for all MQ address spaces that are monitored by SYSVIEW? 

Likewise, we have similar VARIABLE-SET commands for CICS. We also understand that VARIABLE-SET has been changed to METRIC-SET more recently. 

 

 

Environment

Release : 17.0 with LU11674 or newer releases

Resolution

PTF LU11674 was introduced in October 2023 for release 17.0 and now provides this capability.  Please refer to section Control Time Series Data at the Resource Level in the SYSVIEW documentation.   

If running a prior release of SYSVIEW, or you do not have LU11674 installed on a R17.0 SYSVIEW then the following applies:

For CICS, each region has a SYSVIEW Data Collector, so the regions sending data to MOI can be controlled via a series of )IF JOBNAME ENABLE/DISABLE statements in the **.CNM4BPRM(SVWCTSD) member, similar to:  

)IF JOBNAME = CICSA
Time-Series-Data   Enable
)ENDIF
 
)IF JOBNAME = CICSB
Time-Series-Data   Disable
)ENDIF
