Processing Problem ASIDs

The following applications automate the processing of your problem ASIDs.

ABENDLOG

Collects all IEF450I messages and stores in a RDF table. Create a dynamic TOD rule to trigger an OPS/REXX program to process this abend data and offload to a sequential data set. This application demonstrates an effective technique needed to collect and process frequently occurring events that require asynchronous actions such as storing to an external file.

OPS44020

Generates an alert when a defined threshold is met.

An address space identifier (ASID) may be looping and possibly generating excessive message traffic. The MSGDRAINRATE and MSGTHRESHOLD parameters detect address spaces that issue excessive message traffic. When this situation occurs, a message is issued that triggers rule member OPS44020 to generate an alert if a defined threshold is met.
