6 Release Notes
Chapter 1: New Features
This section contains the following topics:
Data Collection (see page 7)
zIIP Exploitation (see page 8)

Data Collection
The CA SYSVIEW data collection process collects and monitors metrics for all of
supported components such as: z/OS, CICS, IMS, WebSphere MQ, and TCP/IP.

Data collection includes event based and interval driven sampling.

The CA SYSVIEW Event Scheduler controls the data collection processes as follows:
■ The scheduler provides the ability to schedule events on an interval basis.
■ The scheduled event definitions can be customized to control the collection
interval, time of day and day of week.
■ The scheduler controls the data that is being collected and how often.

In addition to being able to set the data collection frequency, you can select the
individual metrics that are collected.

The CA SYSVIEW data collector components collect, monitor, and provide exception
processing for many resources and metrics.

In some sites, users do not collect data on all possible resources and metrics. In this
situation, the collection of unwanted or unneeded metrics is a waste of important
system resources and CPU cycles.

The disabling of unwanted or unneeded data collection metrics reduces CPU cycles and
the amount of storage used by the data collection data spaces. The reduction in data
space storage also reduces the amount of real storage used by the SYSVAAST data
anchor address space.

Note: For more information, see the Administration Guide.

Chapter 1: New Features 7

zIIP Exploitation

zIIP Exploitation
IBM offers an optional specialty processor type know as a z/architecture Integrated
Information Processor (zIIP processor). The zIIP processor offers the potential of
offloading specific types of work from a general processor or CP.

The following CA SYSVIEW components are enabled for zIIP exploitation:

■ CA SYSVIEW Main Services Address Space

Convert the SYSVIEW REXX Library to VB

CA SYSVIEW installs a REXX EXEC library that gets dynamically concatenated to the
SYSEXEC DD when you log on to the SYSVIEW TSO/ISPF interface.

The REXXDSN= GEN module parameter identifies the SYSVIEW REXX library.

The library is installed as a RECFM=F data set. RECFM=V data sets for the SYSEXEC DD
and the SYSVIEW REXX DD must be copied and converted to a RECFM=V data set.

The SYSVIEW REXX library contains text and compiled REXX executables. Compiled REXX
EXEC cannot simply be copied from a RECFM=F data set to a RECFM=V data set. They
must be converted.

CA SYSVIEW supplies the following two REXX utilities to copy and convert the SYSVIEW
REXX executables:
■ GSVUCFV1
Uses ISPF library management services to copy one or more REXX executables from
a RECFM=F data set to a RECFM=V data set. This EXEC can also call the GSVUCFV2
EXEC to convert any complied REXX executables copied.
■ GSVUCFV2
Uses ISPF library management services to convert a single complied REXX EXEC
from a RECFM=F data set to RECFM=V data set.

CA SYSVIEW supplies the following job in SAMPLIB to copy and convert the SYSVIEW
REXX executables:
■ REXXFTOV
This SAMPLIB JCL member invokes the GSVUCFV1 REXX EXEC to copy all REXX
executables from a RECFM=F data set to a RECFM=V data set and then to convert
any complied REXX executables that were copied by invoking GSVUCFV2.

Note: The REXXDSN= GEN module parameter must specify the data set name of the
converted RECFM=V data set.

SMF Records
CA SYSVIEW can optionally create SMF records. The record layouts, DSECT, are
distributed in the sysview.CNM4BMAC data set. The following table describes the SMF
type 255 subtype records and shows the macro library in which they are distributed:

Subtype MACLIB Description

Primary Commands with Variable References

You can insert data and information section data into commands.

Primary commands can include substitution of a data field value from a specified row or
an information section field value.

The syntax of this form of substitution is as follows:

Data Row Information Section

------------ -------------------
&<row/field> -or- &<infofield>

row
A row number, which can be specified as:
nnn
The row number specified as a decimal string of one to nine digits from 1 to the
number of rows displayed.
*
The current row number (the number of the first data row displayed on the
screen).
*+|-nnn
The current row number adjusted by a one- to nine-digit number. The resulting
value is treated the same as for the nnn form.

Chapter 2: Enhancements to Existing Features 19

Options

field
The name of the field on the row defined by the row value whose data is used to
replace the variable reference. The &<row/field> value must be specified on a
formatted screen and the field name must be a valid field defined in the format.
The field must be authorized but it is not necessary to include it in the format.
The field data is left justified and trailing blanks are removed before the
substitution is performed.
infofield
The name of an information line field. The information field value is left justified
and trailing blanks are removed before the substitution is performed.

The field and information field names can be truncated. The search for a match first
tries for an exact match and then allows a generic match. Whatever matches first is
used - no check is made to see if the supplied argument is ambiguous.

The &<row/field> and &<infofield> strings can contain blanks anywhere between the <
(less than) and > (greater than) characters. The overall length including blanks must be
32 character or less. The blanks are then compressed out and any other length checks
refer to the compressed string.

For example, on the ACTIVITY screen. The following is valid:

ECHO &< * + 2 / j o b name >

It is compressed to:

ECHO &<*+2/jobname>

The following is not valid because the length (not including the &) is greater than 32:

ECHO &< * + 2 / j o b name >

The maximum length of an actual information field is 32. The maximum length that can
be entered using the &<xx> format is only 30, because the < and > characters add two
characters.

 Options

Command Substitution Variables

The following new command substitution variables have been added to the base
product:
■ &&DataRowCurr
Current data row number.
The value is 0 if no data rows are displayed.
■ &&DataRowHigh
High data row number - the number of data rows displayed.
The value is UNDEFINED if the high data row number is unknown.
■ &&DataColCurr
Current column offset. Indicates the number of columns that the display is scrolled
to the right.

Hierarchical Profile Settings

The user settings stored in the CA SYSVIEW profile are hierarchical.

■ Storing settings in the user profile or in a DEFAULT profile
When a user does not alter or specify a value for a specific profile setting, the
setting for the item is retrieved in the following order:
1. User profile
2. Site DEFAULT profile
3. Global internal defaults
■ Setting a profile keyword to contain no value
Setting the value to NONE indicates no value. No value prevents the value of the
keyword from going back to a default value stored in a different level of the
hierarchical profile.
■ Setting a profile keyword back to the default value
Set the value for a keyword back to its default value setting by specifying DEFAULT.

For more information, see the following product HELP topics:

■ Setting profile keyword values so they have no value
■ Setting profile keywords back to the default value

Option for CICS

The CA SYSVIEW Option for CICS has been enhanced.

CICS Transaction Post Processing Task

A new MVS subtask starts within each CICS region to perform transaction post
processing functions. The CA SYSVIEW task GSVCTPPT performs the following functions
asynchronously to other CICS tasks at transaction completion:
■ Create detailed transaction record
■ Threshold processing
■ Statistics summaries

48 Release Notes
 Options

This work was performed as part of the CICS global user exit XMNOUT.

By moving the work to a separate task, the global user exit XMNOUT completes more
quickly, returning control back to CICS. This increases CICS transaction throughput.

Transaction Monitoring

The CICS data collection process for transactions requires the CICS monitoring function
to be active.

A user can control the CICS monitoring function using the CEMT transaction.

Example: CEMT

CEMT SET MON

STATUS: RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
Status( On )
Perfclass( Perf )

If CICS monitoring is dynamically turned off while CA SYSVIEW is actively monitoring, the
CA SYSVIEW monitoring goes into a bypass mode for transaction monitoring.

If CICS monitoring is dynamically turned on again, transaction processing resumes.

Transaction Monitoring Messages Changed

The Option for CICS transaction monitoring messages has changed.

Previous messages at dynamic disable:
■ GSVC127W CICS monitoring has been found to be in a disabled state.
■ GSVC126W Data collection for transactions has been terminated.
New messages at dynamic disable:
■ GSVC127W CICS monitoring has been found to be in a disabled state.
■ GSVC126W Data collection for transactions is now in bypass mode.

Health Checker
CA SYSVIEW provides several health checks to assist in the monitoring and configuration
of the CA SYSVIEW product.

In addition to providing out-of-the-box health checks, CA SYSVIEW extends the

monitoring of existing health checks to provide a real-time view. A user drills down into
a health check to view up-to-date real-time information enabling the user to diagnose
and resolve outstanding exceptions.
SYSVIEW health checks
SYSVIEW provides health checks to assist in the monitoring and configuration of the
CA SYSVIEW product. These checks are defined in the following parmlib member:
SYSVIEW.DEV.BASE.PARMLIB(GSVHHCHK)

Security
CA SYSVIEW Security has been enhanced.

Security Data Set Conversion

During installation, the conversion utility GSVXCNVS is run to convert the security data
set from a previous CA SYSVIEW release to the current release 13.0a.

If the security file is converted, command authorization for commands that are
introduced in 13.0a are marked as FAILED. Marking the commands as failed prevents
new commands being introduced into an existing system without the examination of
the security administrator.

The security administrator can update the command authorizations by logging on to CA

SYSVIEW and then issuing the command SECURITY.

External Security Considerations

New commands have been added to CA SYSVIEW in this release. Additional external
security rules could be required.

REXX Environment
The CA SYSVIEW REXX function has been enhanced:
■ DSINFO - Extracts various types of information about a data set, volume, or GDG
base name into REXX EXEC variables.

User Created Displays

CA SYSVIEW lets users create their own command displays.

The displays are created using the following process:

1. Use REXX to build the user command displays.
2. Use the RXDISP command to invoke a REXX EXEC.
3. The display is created using the data queued to the REXX stack.

The display can be simple rows of text data, or can be formatted using extended
attributes.

The user display can support the following:

■ Extended attributes
■ Help
■ Line commands
■ Selection
■ Sorting

User Defined Commands

The user command definition has been extended to allow a HELP member to be
associated with the user command.
