IT04603: ONSTAT -G DDR OUTPUT HAS CONFUSING OUTPUT THAT NEEDS BETTER TEXT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a dba runs the command 'onstat -g ddr', part of the output
  can reveal a phrase that is confusing:
  "Dynamic log requests ignored due to full CDR_QDATA_SBSPACE: 0"
  
  This information is used to help show settings, status, and
  statistics.
  This statement is very unclear, especially when the engine is
  idle and DYNAMIC_LOGS is off.
  
  After reviewing this with development, this would be much
  clearer with phrasing such as:
  
  "Dynamic logs not configured."   when DYNAMIC_LOGS is off.
  also recommended:
  consider different phrasing than "..requests ignored due to full
  CDR_QDATA_SBSPACE: 0"
  Effectively, if the space is not full or not approaching full,
  this message should not be displayed.

Problem conclusion

• The output of the onstat -g ddr command is improved for IBM
  Informix Server 12.10.xC5. The user will now see output similar
  to:
  
  CDR_LOG_LAG_ACTION dlog requests: 0        (not configured).
  
  if the "dlog" action is not configured for the
  CDR_LOG_LAG_ACTION parameter and output similar to:
  
  CDR_LOG_LAG_ACTION dlog requests: 0        (0 full
  CDR_QDATA_SBSPACE).
  
  if the "dlog" action is configured.
