CA Mainframe Software Manager™ (CA MSM) is renamed to CA Chorus™ Software Manager (CA CSM) and adopts the CA Chorus look-and-feel.
CA CSM Release 5.1 lets you manage and organize tasks with policies. Use task management policies to copy, delete, and move task output. Select tasks that are based on criteria including their age and their type. Create task policies using the Task Policy wizard.
Note: For more information, see the CA Chorus Software Manager User Guide.
New health checks were added to CA Deliver for checkpoint utilization. For more information about the new health check messages, see the section ‘Health Checks’ in the appendix of the Reference Guide.
A new RMOGRW sample, RMOGRW08, is now provided in CAI.CVDEJCL. Use the RMOGRW08 sample, in response to the high utilization message from the health check, to free up some space in the checkpoint, if determined that the checkpoint size is sufficient. For more information, see the chapter "Utilities", RMOGRW Report Writer, TITLE Control Statement, Example 8 in the Reference Guide.
Note: An OPS/MVS event is now issued during high utilization. This event can be used for automatic submission of RMOGRW08 to attempt to automatically clean up the checkpoint. For more information about this OPS/MVS event, see the chapter "Error Messages", RMOCPT05 in the Message Guide.
Dynamic report processing was enhanced to eliminate the increasing overhead of generating dynamic reports, use less memory, and reduce overall CPU time. To reduce this memory requirement, database buffers are only retained while a dynamic report is actively receiving page data. The memory requirement for each dynamic report previously depended on the CA View database block size and the CA Deliver SARBUFCT initialization parameter setting. Less memory usage lets you generate more dynamic reports and helps prevent storage issues that resulted in abends.
For more information about dynamic report processing, see the Administration Guide.
In CA Deliver r12.2, the checkpoint file size increased to a maximum size of 200 cylinders. Using the maximum allocation, 100 cylinders are used for active information and 100 cylinders is reserved for recovery. The threshold for previous releases is 42 cylinders, 21 active and 21 for recovery.
Using the increased checkpoint file size requires an additional increase in memory. The maximum number of checkpoint blocks increases from 3872 to 18,000. The maximum checkpoint file size in bytes increases from 15.8 MB to 73.7 MB. Both the CA Deliver started task and CA Deliver online interface, when active information is accessed, require the additional storage amount to hold the checkpoint information.
Note: Before upgrading to a checkpoint file size greater than 42 cylinders in CA Deliver r12.2, see the ‘Revert Considerations’ in the Installation Guide. After a checkpoint file size greater than 42 cylinders is used, the checkpoint file size cannot be reverted for use in a previous release. To revert after using a large checkpoint file, the checkpoint file must be resized to the smaller maximum allowed checkpoint using RMODBASE MAKECKPT before the reversion. If the reversion is done without resizing the checkpoint file, the checkpoint data set must be deleted and reallocated using the previous release. All prior checkpoint data will be lost.
CA Deliver was enhanced to support dynamic reports that can generate more than 64,000 reports from a job. More dynamic reports can be archived directly to CA View through a single job that generates large amounts of unique report ids. Previously, each report, that was created by a dynamic report definition, was archived into the CA View database with sequential sequence numbers. The first dynamic report was SEQ 1, the second report was SEQ 2, and so forth. Now, each unique instance generated by the job starts at Sequence 1, and increases by future occurrences of that report created in the same generation. The first and second dynamic reports that are generated will both have GEN 1 and SEQ 1, allowing a single job to generate more than 64,000 reports.
