Error description

  • Fixes for defects that were detected during SVT and AVT.
    
    1.  ABEND15F rc10 due to an ABEND0C4 rc4 in IRAENRST JBB772S +
        x'1EC' during an enclave restart because the
        Encb_OffloadTablePtr is zero.
        ABEND0C4 rc4 in IRAENCLS JBB772S + x'058C' during an
        enclave classify if the Encb_OffloadTablePtr is zero.
        If the abend occurs duing policy activation this will result
        in a WAIT08E.

    *                      2) IIPCP is zero in RMF WLMGL report    *

    ****************************************************************
    1) Service times are accumulated in the ENCB and are reset when
       a transaction is restarted. The zIIP offload algorithm
       depends on those times, but the offload definition table is
       not updated when they are reset.
    
    2) When PROJECTCPU=YES is specified in an enviroment without
       zIIP processors configured, any zIIP work is to be reported
       as zIIP_on_CP work to the WLM external interfaces. In
       IRAENTRX the accumulation of on_cp work is done only if the
       corresponding processor (zAAP, zIIP) is configured.
    
    3) The version indicator is incorrect in the AMG of IWMEQTME.
    
    4) The calculation of service units is not 100% accurat, but
       precision is lost. An attempt was made to compensate for this
       loss through rounding. Because the rounding is applied only
       once for the overall service units, but separately for
       special processor service units, it is possible for the sum
       of the special processor units to become larger than the
       overall service unit amount.
    
    5) The SMF99 record version is incorrect for JBB77S9.
    
    6) Return code 4 of IWM4EOCT indicates that the request was
       accepted but there are no zIIPs configured. This return code
       is given no matter what the setting of PROJECTCPU is. The
       result of the IWM4EOCT request, however, is different
       depending on this OPT parameter setting. If PROJECTCPU is
       YES, zIIP usage is projected, otherwise the IWM4EOCT request
       has no effect at all.
    
    7) Sysevent REQSVDAT returns a 0 value for total accumulated
       service (RQSVSRV) during jobstep termination. OUCBWMS is
       not updated if there is no SRB time present for the address
       space.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 1) IHAOCT is enhanced to provide a new function ResetOCT which
       updates the enclave offload definition table to reflect the
       clearing of zIIP service times in the ENCB.  IRAXMAC is
       modified to invoke ResetOCT during RESTART processing.
       IRAENCLS, IRAENRST and IRAOPRES are recompiled to pick up the
       IRAXMAC modifications.
    
    2) IRAENTRX is modified to accumulate processor_on_cp times
       unconditionally.
    
    3) Mark ZIIPQUALTIME as a version 1 parameter in IWMEQTME.
    
    4) IRAXMAC is changed back to the original algorithm for service
       unit calculation. Rounding is not done anymore.  IRAENTRX,
       IRARMWL2 and IRAEVEDL are recompiled.
    
    5) Change SMF99_current_ver in IRASMF99 to 20 for JBB77S9.
       Regen/recompile the following parts: IRAPASS1 IRAPASS2
       IRAPASS3 IRAPASS5 IRAPASS6 IRAPASS8 IRAPAS2D IRARMSMF
    
    6) A new reason code is introduced for IWM4EOCT that indicates -
       in case that no zIIPs are configured - whether projection is
       enabled or not.  IRAWLMPL is enhanced with a new
       EncOct_Projected flag in the ENCOCT parameter list. IRAENOCT
       returns the projection setting to IWMW2EOT via the new flag.
       IWMW2EOT returns the new reason code to the caller depending
       on new flag. IWMYCON is enhanced with the new reason code
       IWMRsnCodeNoProjection.
    
    7) IRARMWL2 is changed to update OUCBWMS unconditionally.
