I raised an MR to IBM requesting that RMF should recognise DELAYS due to PDSE, currently being reported as "UNKNOWN".
I find the response short on understanding, and only applicable to active problem support....and not applicable to post-event problem diagnosis as the PDSE analysis command is real-time only. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This MR has been rejected with the following reason given: No programming interface provides the necessary data for RMF to identify SMS PDSE contention related delay. There is no way of implementing the requested function with reasonable effort. However, upon high Unknown Delay % and assumed PDSE contention, the PDSE ANALYSIS command (VARYSMS,[PDSE|PDSE1],ANALYSIS) can be used to examine the situation. The command is described in the IBM documentation "z/OS V1R10.0 DFSMSdfp Diagnosis" (GY27-7618-10). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What to do but sigh!
