IMS Status parameters
The IMS Status Monitoring feature uses the parameters in the IMS Status category to determine whether and how to detect and report exceptional status conditions for IMS online systems.
Tip
| For more information, view the Quick Course MAXM Database Advisor - Monitoring IMS Status. |
Each parameter consists of the following specifications:
Whether to monitor a specific type of condition
For most parameters, this specification is Yes or No; for a few parameters, this specification is a numeric setting.
- If the condition will be monitored, when to begin monitoring and when to end
The Begin and End specifications accommodate time-frames (such as maintenance windows) when you expect a condition to occur but do not want Advisor to report that as an exception.
The following parameters are included in this category:

SDEP Freeblks Low % | 1 through 99 0 (ignore this condition) | 0 | Specify whether to detect the condition in which the specified percentage of freespace in the SDEP section is not available for use, according to the DMAC. |
DBD/Area Locked | Yes No Inherit | No | Specify whether to detect the condition in which a DBD or area is in locked status. |
DBD/Area Init Fail | Yes No Inherit | No | Specify whether to detect the condition in which a DBD or area is in a non-INIT status. |
DBD Deleted by OLCHNG | Yes No Inherit | No | Specify whether to detect the condition in which a DBD was removed by the online change process. |
Alloc Failed | Yes No Inherit | No | Specify whether to detect the condition in which an attempt to allocate a database was unsuccessful. |
Too Many RDWRT Fails | 1 through 99 0 (ignore this condition) | 0 | Specify whether to detect the condition in which the specified total number of read and write failures has occurred or has been exceeded. |

DBD Cmd Pending | Yes No Inherit | No | Specify whether to detect the condition in which a DBD command has been issued for a database, but the command has not yet completed. |
DBD/Area Stopped | Yes No Inherit | No | Specify whether to detect the condition in which a DBD or area is in a STOPPED status. |
DBRC Auth Fail | Yes No Inherit | No | Specify whether to detect the condition in which an authorization call to DBRC has failed. |
