Hello,
I am working in a DB2 team. We are suffered by abends caused by IMS. We do not have a big problem by that. Nevertheless I ilke to understand the RMF VSTOR report, but I don’t.

As my IMS colleaguies told me, they are aware some programs should be adjusted to run above the - 16 mb – line.

My questions
- what is the reason, the RMF VSTOR report has info for 2 IMS regions. We have other LPAR’s . But no other RMF report of any LPAR contains “JOB NAME” info inside the PRIVATE AREA SUMMARY report.
- is it visible according the "PRIVATE AREAS SUMMARY" report. this IMS region has a storage problem?

I you have explanation or URL to doc where it is explained, would be useful.

Select all

Hello,
the answer is clear now, my zOS colleagues used VSTOR(jobname) for these IMS regions, because of Problems.
Two groups looking for an issue, whereas i was not aware VSTOR was used to gather additional data.
