Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM z/OSMF System Status        *
  *                 and Resource Monitoring tasks, HSMA212.      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR provides function that was    *

  ****************************************************************
  This APAR provides function that was originally provided with
  z/OSMF V2R2:
  
  1. Z/OSMF RMF provides a modern, intuitive interface that is
  consistent with other IBM products.
  
  2. The Resource Monitoring task has been enhanced to:
  
  a. Allow a metric to be used multiple times for different
  resources within the same metric group.
  
  b. Provide an enhanced color scheme for monitoring dashboards to
  indicate different metrics that is accessible in both normal and
  high contrast modes, eliminating the need for a color scheme
  setting.

• -------------  ENHANCEMENTS  -----------------------------------
  This APAR provides function that was originally provided with
  z/OSMF V2R2:
  
  1. Z/OSMF RMF provides a modern, intuitive interface that is
  consistent with other IBM products.
  
  Most of the UI widgets have the same behavior as before, except
  for the table widget:
  
  There are a lot changes in the format of table filter
  settings. Some fields of the filter settings are no longer
  supported. Therefore, there will be an expected one-time loss of
  user customized filters. After applying this APAR, z/OSMF does
  not retain the table filter settings which were set in previous
  release. Default table filter settings will be used. You can
  reset the filter to restore your filter settings.
  
  b. The more/less feature in the tables are not supported.
  
  c. The behavior of the sort in tree table in non-tree view is
  changed. Before, the sort is applied to every row in the table
  and the tree structure may be destroyed after the sort. After
  applying this APAR, the sort is applied to the rows on the same
  level in the tree structure, and the tree structure can not be
  destroyed.
  
  2. The Resource Monitoring task has been enhanced to:
  
  a. Allow a metric to be used multiple times for different
  resources within the same metric group. With this support, the
  identifier used in metric groups has been extended from metric
  ID only to metric ID plus resource name. This enables the
  creation of metric groups that allow easy comparison of
  performance differences for different resources in one metric
  group.
  
  b. Provide an enhanced color scheme for monitoring dashboards to
  indicate different metrics. This is available in both normal and
  high contrast modes, eliminating the need for a color scheme
  setting.
  
  -------------  DOCUMENTS UPDATES -------------------------------
  
  Online help is changed to describe the enhancement that allows a
  metric to be used multiple times for different resources within
  the same metric group:
