Application Conversion Considerations
Application Conversion Considerations
To obtain ZMS-style records from the callable interface, you must modify the procedure
calls to pass the
templateversion parameter as described in the Measure
Reference Manual.
If the application is written in TAL or pTAL, you might have to convert constants and
variable fields used in calculations to FIXED types if the underlying record fields have
changed.
Field Reason for Removal
All max-qlen fields Max queue values were of questionable use in the
legacy interface and are removed in the ZMS style.
Measure architecture is moving to a model in which
counter records always exist, so such values would
represent a maximum since processor reload and could
never be reset.
entity .ctrl
entity .unit
These attributes of D-series I/O addressing have been
invalid on all G-series RVUs. You can list D-series data
in ZMS-style records, but D-series addressing attributes
are mapped to G-series addressing fields and must be
referred to by the G-series names.
CPU.mem-qtime This counter applies only to data prior to the G05.00
RVU. If analysis of this attribute is required, continue to
use the legacy-style interface.
CPU.processor-status This attribute is in all G-series RVUs but always reports
as 16 CPUs, so it provides little value.
CPU.send-busy-time This counter applies only to D-series data. If analysis of
this attribute is required, continue to use the legacy-style
interface.
CPU.starting-ucl-lock
CPU.ending-ucl-lock
CPU.starting-uds-lock
CPU.ending-uds-lock
CPU.starting-scl-lock
CPU.ending-scl-lock
CPU.starting-sds-lock
CPU.ending-sds-lock
PROCESS.lock-pages-qtime
PROCESS.ucl-lock-qtime These legacy-style record counters were reserved but
never instrumented.
DISC.seeks
DISC.seek-busy-time
DISC.ablks-inuse-qtime
DISC.cblks-inuse-qtime
OPDISK.seeks
OPDISK.seek-busy-time These counters have been obsolete since before D-
series RVUs.
