January 2024 updates

PTF UJ94534 for APAR OA65962

HLQ view by

Added HLQ view by under All Datasets for quick overview summarized data for all source types HLQ.

For more information, see Realtime Dataset Metrics.

Compression summary
Added Compression statistics to All dataset summarization. With this feature, you can gauge the space saved using compression and the space you can save for uncompressed datasets.

For more information, see Realtime Dataset Metrics.

January 2023 updates

PTF UJ92017 for APAR OA64032

History mode for 'All Datasets'

With the ‘All Datasets’ feature, you can save release collections, such as extracts of datasets from DASD, Tapes and DFSMShsm. You can determine the number of history files to keep and manage by selecting only a limited number of datasets and cleaning up collections that are not required.

With this feature, you can manage schedules to store any number of the last collections, save the filters, and save these filters in Realtime Dataset Metrics (RDM) as groups.

For more information, see Realtime Dataset Metrics.

Schedule an ‘All Datasets’ collection

As a storage administrator, you can schedule time for data collection and decide the number of collection files to store. You can stop the collection at any specific time. This option helps you minimize cost and avoid critical workload times.

For more information, see Realtime Dataset Metrics.

View data by Team or Function

You can build custom displays that are focused by user role and requirements. You can save custom filters into groups to quickly find and use the best filters for your specific role to use whenever required later.

For more information, see Realtime Dataset Metrics.

September 2022 updates

New view by 'All Datasets'

You can view by ‘All Datasets’ in RDM to get a unified view of the dataset information from DASD farm, Tapes (DFSMSrmm and CA1) and HSM (MCDS and BCDS).

For more information, see Realtime Dataset Metrics.

March 2021 updates

PTF UJ00930

ADABAS Summary node in navigation tree

You can monitor the status of ADABAS Database Details data to review storage information for active ADABAS instances on the database level, as well as on file and volume levels for each ADABAS database.

For more information, see Monitoring ADABAS Database Details

PTF UJ04974

Multiple node selection in Storage Toolkit

The Storage Toolkit functionality from situations supports multiple node selection. You can assign several systems to a situation and specify action for each system. When the situation is true, actions get triggered on all the defined online systems.

PTF UJ04274

Additional Zowe support

You can now access Realtime Dataset Metrics in Zowe.

For more information, see Realtime Dataset Metrics.

Storage Toolkit for Realtime Dataset Metrics

The Storage Toolkit functionality is available for Realtime Dataset Metrics.

For more information, see Realtime Dataset Metrics.

New in Release 5.5

  • Realtime Dataset Metrics web user interface – You can access all dataset attribute data without using the Data Set Attribute groups.
  • New Data Set Attributes High Level Qualifier Summary - You can get a rollup of data set attributes for each data set high level qualifier.
