Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing traces to capture data for memory regions in a memory. A trace includes a monitor parameter used by a trace procedure to monitor data in a memory device. A frequency is determined at which the trace procedure monitors the memory device. The trace procedure is invoked at the determined frequency to perform trace procedure operations comprising determining a region in the memory device according to the monitor parameter and copying data in the determined region to trace data in a data space.

Providing a computer program product, system, and method for logging updates to monitored data sets in a storage. A request is received to monitor changes to a monitored data set comprising one of the data sets in the storage. A determination is made of tracks in the storage in which the data set is stored. The determined tracks are indicated in monitored tracks. Updates to the storage are received and a determination is made as to whether the updates are for the monitored tracks. The updates are logged in response to determining that updates are for the monitored tracks. A determination is made of new tracks added to the monitored data set and the determined new tracks are indicated in the monitored tracks.

According to one embodiment, a test system includes a data collection module adapted for collecting data from a test system, a storage module adapted for storing the collected data in an organized format, the data including problem data, associated configuration information, associated performance information, and activity data, an analysis module adapted for analyzing the collected data to define at least two activity zones by correlating the problem data, the associated configuration information, the associated performance information, and the activity data, the at least two activity zones including a safe zone where the test system operates normally and a danger zone where the test system is susceptible to operational problems, and an adjustment module adapted for adjusting available resources and/or workload of the test system to cause the test system to operate in the danger zone thereby increasing a likelihood of fault occurrence for testing purposes.

An approach to selectively recording trace data. The approach sifts through process control and state data to store data that is most relevant to aiding debugging while reducing the overall amount of data that is stored in a trace data set by a trace facility. The approach may involve initiating a trace operation for the software component and, for each resource of the software component, determining whether the resource is currently in use. For those resources in use, the current state of the resource is compared with the previous state of the resource. If the current state has changed, the current state is written to the trace data set. If the resource is not in use, or the current state has not changed, no entry is made to the trace data set. The approach may also analyze users to determine which resources the users are holding and/or waiting for.

An approach to allocating storage that has track managed storage and cylinder managed storage. The approach involves receiving a request to allocate a data set for new data and determining if the size of the new data exceeds a breakpoint value. The size of the new data may be determined by allocating a buffer data set that is the size of the breakpoint value, and writing the new data to the buffer data set. If the new data only partially fills the buffer data set, then the size of the new data is smaller than the breakpoint value. If the new data overfills the buffer data set, then the size of the new data set is larger than the breakpoint value. New data that is larger than the breakpoint value is automatically stored in cylinder managed storage, while new data that is smaller than the breakpoint value is automatically stored in track managed storage.
摘要:
A method is provided for isolating errors which occur when code supplied by independent software vendors (ISV code) interacts with code supplied by a primary vendor (host code). Code suspected of containing ISV code with host code is executed. If the results are in error, the code is scanned and then compared with a master host code. Any differences are stored in a delta file, including locations in the host code where ISV code hooks into the host code. The code is then modified to by-pass the hooks to ISV code to generate a side-executable code and both codes are executed and the results are compared. A lack of substantial difference in the results is indicative that the ISV code adversely affects the host code while a difference between the results is indicative of an error in the modified code.

A method for controlling access to client data by support providers is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method includes initiating a session on a server computer in response to receipt of a request for assistance from a client, the session having client data associated therewith. A session key is generated for the session. The session key includes a session identifier and a support provider identifier corresponding to an assignee. The session key may further include a client identifier corresponding to the client. Requests to access the client data include an assignee key including a session identifier and a support provider identifier, and potentially a client identifier if needed. The assignee key is compared to the session key. If correspondence is found between the identifiers in the assignee key and the session key, access is granted. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

A method for predictively allocating space in a database system includes detecting an access request for a data set, evaluating a growth rate of the data set to determine a predicted increase in size of the data set, and in response dynamically altering an attribute of an allocation for the data set. Attributes altered include the size of volumes and the number of volumes comprising the data set. The method may include setting a flag indicating an instruction to rewrite the data set if the evaluation indicates that rewriting is needed to accommodate the predicted increase in size. The method may include rewriting the data set from a lower address space of a volume to a higher address space of the volume if the size of the data set is equal to or greater than an allocation increment of the upper address space. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for optimizing the organization of volume records stored in a volume record data set is disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, a method may include monitoring a volume comprising multiple data sets. Each data set may have associated therewith a volume record stored in a volume record data set. The method may further include tracking read and write operations to each of the data sets over a period of time. A count value may be stored in the volume record of each data set. The count value may be increased each time a read operation is performed to the associated data set. The count value may be decreased each time a write operation is performed to the associated data set. The volume records in the volume record data set may then be reorganized according to the size of the count values.

A method of correcting job control language (JCL) jobs scans a JCL job against a set of JCL syntax rules. The method automatically corrects any syntax errors discovered during the scanning, thereby forming a corrected JCL job. The method then runs the corrected JCL job. If the corrected JCL ends abnormally due to an execution error, the method then automatically determines if the execution error is recoverable. If the execution error is recoverable, the method automatically corrects the recoverable error to form a recovered corrected JCL job. The method reruns the recovered corrected JCL job.
