    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Dataset statistics in the IFCID 199 record are externalized only
    when a specific threshold for the usage of that dataset is
    met.  As a result, these statistics are not guaranteed to be
    externalized for every statistic interval.  Keeping track of
    when the last time statistics for a given data set were repprted
    can be a very difficult process for users and monitors, and a
    way to enable easier monitoring is needed.
    
    This issue exists only for IFCID 199 that are externalized as
    statistics records and not via IFI READS requests.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

  • New field QW0199SC has been added to the data section 3 of the
    IFCID 199.  This field contains the timestamp of the last time
    the corresponding dataset statistics were externalized. If this
    is the first time statistics for this dataset are externalized,
    this value is a timestamp of when this dataset was opened.
