INTERVAL VALUE DETERMINATION (DELTA PROCESSING) Post-processing for VM Monitor data calculates interval values from cumulative counters provided by the CP. The interval value is determined by subtracting cumulative counter fields from two consecutive monitor records. CONFIGURATION RECORDS DURING POST-PROCESSING Processor Configuration Record (Domain 1, Record 4) --------------------------------------------------- The System Configuration (VMXSCF) file contains information from the System Configuration record. When the configuration record for a system is missing in the VMXSCF file, DAY080 abends with a U997 and MICSLOG message VMC00069E is displayed. It may be possible that a monitor suspend event occurred that could cause the domain 1 record 4 to be missing. See Section 6.2.4 for more information on how to detect if the abend is a result of monitor suspend and what to do. Processor Configuration Record (Domain 1, Record 5) --------------------------------------------------- The Processor Configuration (VMXPCF) file contains information from the Processor Configuration record. When the configuration record for a processor is missing in the VMXPCF file, DAY080 abends with code U997 and MICSLOG message VMC00067E is displayed. It should be investigated by your sites' VM system programmer why the domain 1 record 5 Processor Configuration records for the new VARIED ON processor are not being collected by the MONITOR. It may be possible that a monitor suspend event occurred that could cause the domain 1 record 5 to be missing. See Section 6.2.4 for more information on how to detect if the abend is a result of monitor suspend and what to do. If you determine that the missing domain 1 record 5 configuration record is not missing because of a monitor suspend event, then for a limited time only, the U997 abend can be prevented. You can code a SYSPARM='NODATA NOXACFG' on the EXEC card of the DAY080 step. The use of the NOXACFG parameter should be restricted. If used for an indefinite period of time, it can cause unpredictable results in your database. We highly recommend that NOXACFG be removed after the first successful daily run. Do not code SYSPARM='NODATA NOXACFG' to override the U997 abend without first contacting CA Technical Support at http://ca.com/support. Have a copy of the MICSLOG and SASLOG ready before contacting them. Monitor Sample (Domain 1, Record 9) ----------------------------------- The Monitor Sample record contains the length of the interval that is used to assign a value to Interval Length (VMCINTVL). VMCINTVL is used during the post-processing phase to determine when delta processing should be done. If the Domain 1 Record 9 is missing in the input data, data element VMCINTVL results in missing values because the Monitor Sample record is missing in the input data. This can cause observations to be dropped and invalid delta values in the CA MICS database during delta processing. The DAY080 update-step abend with a U997 and MICSLOG message VMC00063E is displayed if the Domain 1 record 9 is detected missing. It may be possible that a monitor suspend event occurred that could cause the domain 1 record 9 monitor record to be missing. See Section 6.2.4 for more information on how to detect if the abend is a result of monitor suspend and what to do. If you use Velocity Software's ESAMON and ESAWRITE monitoring and data collection software, ensure that the CA MICS extract file from ESAWRITE is selecting the domain 1 record 9 monitor record. If you determine that the missing domain 1 record 9 sample configuration record is not missing because of a monitor suspend event, or is not selected for the CA MICS extract as a last resort, the U997 abend can be overridden. You can code a SYSPARM='NODATA NOD1R9' on the EXEC card of the DAY080 step. The use of the NOD1R9 parameter should be restricted. Be aware when you use this override that it can cause observations to be dropped in some database files and invalid data element values during delta processing. We highly recommend that NOD1R9 be removed after the first successful daily run. Do not code SYSPARM='NODATA NOD1R9' to override the U997 abend without first contacting CA Technical Support at http://ca.com/support. Have a copy of the MICSLOG and SASLOG ready before contacting them. Figure 9-4 illustrates VM Monitor post-processing by file.
