--> Downloading maintenance from support portal. calendar_todayUpdated On: Products SYSVIEW Performance Management OPS/MVS Event Management & Automation Dynamic Capacity Intelligence Common Services Issue/Introduction This KB will help to prepare a zip package that will include more than one PTF and just for a certain product. As an example, we will prepare zip package for SYSVIEW fixes. Environment Support portal Resolution In general, the process contains the below steps. And this KB is more about step 6 that. The support portal gave the option to download dependencies along with chosen ptfs. The dependencies could be even form other products that are used by the selected one. First, go to the 'Downloads' section of our support portal. Search for SYSVIEW and click on it. The search bar is in the right upper corner. Choose 'Solutions' Click on the product name, in our case, it's 'SYSVIEW Performance Management MVS' Click on a release we want, for this test it's 16.0Use the sort options to filter.* Mark checkboxes and click 'Download Selected' Choose downloading Method(FTP,HTTPS)As a result zip archive will all selected PTFs will be uploaded. If the HTTPS method were used there will be one additional step, move zip file to USS. After zi[p file is moved to z/OS then using CAUNZIP it could be unpacked and output used to RECIEVE downloaded PTFs. The downloading page has several filtering options and search feature, see the screenshot below they are highlighted in green box. SEARCH - This helpful to search PTFs related to certain module or problem(abend code, error msg etc.). RELEASE - Filter PTFs for chosen release.OS - Filter fixes based on where they should be applied/installed. COMPONENT - Most of the products has several components and this filter allow sort PTF by component. For this test, we choose SYSVIEW since we packing only SYSVIEW PTFs.DATE - By setting this filter we telling to the portal to show us all the fixes that were published since chosen date. All those filtering options could be used together. The COMPONENT filtering option needs to have some additional explanation. First of all, each product downloading page allows to download the fixes that are from other products but only those that are related to the main product. All our products will show 'Chorus' and 'Common Services for z/OS' components because those products are used with each product. Here is an example. We preparing the PTF package for SYSVIEW and if we check the COMPONENT options we will see the following one 'Resource Initialization Manager(COMM)' which is part of Common Services for z/OS. This option allows seeing prereqs PTFs from other products that are used by SYSVIEW, in this case, it's the CARIM component of 'Common Services for z/OS'. We can use it for checking if the 'Common Services for z/OS' prereqs are installed, if they are not installed, we are able to download them from here instead of going to the 'Common Services for z/OS' downloading page. Since we preparing a package for SYSVIEW only, we choose

--> How to upgrade Sysview and the Sysview CICS monitors without outage of CICS calendar_todayUpdated On: Products SYSVIEW Performance Management Issue/Introduction When there is maintenance for SYSVIEW, the SYSVIEW regions and sometimes the SYSVIEW CICS monitor also needs to be recycled..Only the recycle of the CICS regions, or SYSVIEW CICS monitor possibly cannot be done at the same time as the recycle of SYSVIEW itself.. Environment Sysview all releases Cause It's not always possible to recycle a CICS region at he same time the SYSVIEW maintenance is activated. Resolution The HOLDDATA provided with SYSVIEW PTF's define the steps to implement the specific changes to that PTF. Generally the following statements. This PTF requires the SYSVIEW for CICS monitor to be recycled, or CICS to be recycled. 1. Apply the PTF. 2. Stop any CICS regions being monitored by SYSVIEW, or use the GSVT (terminate) transaction to stop SYSVIEW for CICS within each region.3. Stop the SYSVIEW STCs, GSSA, and any user sessions. 4. Deploy the PTF to your run-time libraries. 5. Start the SYSVIEW STCs, GSSA, and any user sessions. 6. Start any CICS regions being monitored by SYSVIEW, or use the GSVS (start) transaction to start SYSVIEW for CICS within each region. When a CICS module is actually updated it contains the following HOLDDATA statements. This PTF requires the SYSVIEW for CICS monitor to be recycled, or CICS to be recycled. 1. Apply the PTF. 2. Stop any CICS regions being monitored by SYSVIEW, or use the GSVT (terminate) transaction to stop SYSVIEW for CICS within each region. 3. Stop the SYSVIEW STCs, GSSA, and any user sessions. 4. Deploy the PTF to your run-time libraries. 5. Start the SYSVIEW STCs, GSSA, and any user sessions. 6. Perform a CICS NEWCOPY for program GSVCGSVS within each region if the

March 2017To: CA SYSVIEW® Performance Management (CA SYSVIEW) CustomersFrom: The CA Intelligent Mainframe TeamSubject: How to Obtain CA SYSVIEW 14.2 Using CA Chorus Software Manager (CA CSM) Dear Valued CA SYSVIEW Customer,In November 2016, CA released CA SYSVIEW 14.2 with several new features (noted below). If you use CA Chorus Software Manager (CA CSM) to install your CA product, we have identified an issue that may inhibit you from obtaining the CA SYSVIEW 14.2 PAX file using the “Update Product Release” feature. To fix this problem, we have issued PTFs for CA CSM to facilitate installing CA SYSVIEW 14.2. We recommend that CA CSM users install the appropriate PTF before attempting to upgrade, to avoid any problems with installation.The PTFs and resulting build levels are as follows:CSM 6.1 – PTF RO94259 (build level 127)CSM 6.0 – PTF RO94232 (build level 141)CSM 5.1 – PTF RO94373 (build level 127)You can determine the build level of CA CSM by clicking the ‘About’ link in the lower right-hand corner of the CA CSM UI.NEW FEATURES FOR CA SYSVIEW 14.2:CA SYSVIEW 14.2 includes multiple enhancements customers have been requesting such as:Predictive Alerting: Machine-learning algorithms analyze your systems to notify you when your metric levels start trending toward a potential incident or SLA violationDynamic Baselining and Thresholding: Machine-learning algorithms recommend thresholds based on the historic operating levels of your systems, reducing the need to manually manage static definitionsWeb-based Historical Analysis Tools: Easy access to historical data, helps you visualize how one or more metrics move
