Re: Standard Answers to CPU Changes/Adding MIPS/Model Group Changes/etc.
1. The MXG Software License is a license to use our Copyright and must
be active (i.e., paid) to use the software. MXG Software is site
licensed (a site is a physical address; a license is required for
each site whose data is processed by MXG, whether MXG executes there
or whether the data is sent to or read at another licensed site).
MXG is NOT licensed by the size, make, model, number, color, nor by
the manufacturer of the processor(s). MXG is licensed for all
operating system(s) at a site, and is automatically renewable. The
License terms can be read at http://www.mxg.com, under
administration.
2. If outsourcing/facilities management is involved at your site, both
the outsourcer and the client must have separate MXG licenses, and
the outsourcer must have executed an outsourcing Addendum.
3. There is no CPU Serial Checking, no Passwords no "Keys" nor any date
checking for expiration date in MXG Software.
4. Our MXG License authorizes MXG execution at Disaster Recovery sites
for test or for actual DR work, with no keys nor any notification.
5. An MXG Version never "expires" nor "goes out of Support". When you
put in a new product/subsystem/Release/APAR that incompatibly changed
its records then you must install the current MXG Version or at least
be using the minimum level of MXG that is currently documented for
each product MXG supports at http://www.mxg.com/CHANGES/ find IV.
6. The Current Version, MXG 42.03, is dated Sep 15, 2024. ALWAYS check
http://www.mxg.com/changes for the newest version, as the current
version is ALWAYS better and safer, and will save you time, and it is
VERY easy to "drop-in" a new version of MXG Software.
CRITICAL CHANGE (in 41.06 and later):

7. Only the current MXG Version can be downloaded; new versions always
correct/protect for errors, so back-levels are never available.
Use the form at https://www.mxg.com/software_download_request.
8. MXG Version Required for Hardware, Operating System Release, etc.
MXG is usually NOT sensitive to z/OS Hardware changes, but:
-Support for z/16 processor data.
MXG 38.07 or later is needed, but 40.01 will ABEND, see below
SMF: Only SMF 113 records were incompatibly changed, but there is no
execution error as only counter labels and values were changed,
causing coefficients for the calculated variables (RMI,etc) to
also be changed and default coefficients are changed to z/16,
You should use separate SAS steps for each processor type; MXG
will OUTPUT only the processor type you requested in //SYSIN,
and will skip other processor type records, so you do NOT need
to pre-process SMF records to select processor type. You will
want to rename one pair of datasets if you want to put them in
the same PDB Data Library.
For z/15 you would use
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA11F %
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS113,ASUM113);
and for z/16 you would use
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA11G %
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS113,ASUM113);
to get correct values in TYPE1131 and ASUM1131 datasets.
MXG Support for z/16 for SMF 113 requires 40.05 for z/OS and
40.03 for zVM.
MXG 40.01 will ABEND due to a TYPE30 error exposed by the z/16.
with z/OS 2.5 or APAR61511. You can correct by changing the
line 1812 in VMAC30 from 192 to 220, or ask support for the
current VMAC30 member with Change 40.050.
Many other SMF and Data Gatherer records were updated in 40.04.
RMF ASMRMFV processes RMF III data with no errors, Change 40.068
added some new fields. New DNG3 table support was in 40.05.
SMF: Only SMF 113 records were incompatibly changed, but there is no
execution error as only counter labels and values were changed,
causing coefficients for the calculated variables (RMI,etc) to
also be changed and default coefficients are changed to z/16,
You must use separate SAS steps for each processor type and
read only SMF 113 from that processor type.
For z/15 you would use
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA11F %
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS113,ASUM113);
and for z/16 you would use
//SYSIN DD *
%LET MACKEEP= MACRO _XLA113 _XLA11G %
%INCLUDE SOURCLIB(TYPS113,ASUM113);
to get correct values in ASUM1131 dataset.
MXG Support for z/16 for SMF 113 requires 40.05 for z/OS and
40.03 for zVM.
MXG 40.01 will ABEND due to a TYPE30 error exposed by the z/16.
Change line 1812 in VMAC30 from 192 to 220 or ask support for
the current VMAC30 member with Change 40.050.
Many other SMF and Data Gatherer records were updated in 40.04.
RMF ASMRMFV processes RMF III data with no errors, Change 40.068
added some new fields. New DNG3 table support was in 40.05.
-Support for z15 processor data.
The z15 and z15 T02 processors INCOMPATIBLY changed the SMF 113
records by inserting 32 new EXTEND and 4 CRYPTO counters, causing
ARRAY SIZE EXCEEDED with BUILDPDB which processes the SMF 113s.
Support for counter changes for both z15s was in MXG 37.08.
If you use MIPS in reports, the format $MGRMIPS provides the
MIPS/MSU value for each processor; the z15 values were updated
in MXG 37.08, and the z15 TO2 values were updated in MXG 38.10.
These MXG programs use $MGRMIPS: ASUMMIPS GRAFCEC GRAFWLM
GRAFWRKX and TYPERMFV (RMF III).
The z/14 also inserted SMF 113 fields, supported in MXG 36.07.
The z/13 with 61+ LPARs requires MXG 32.05 IF NON-SMT MODE.
The z/EC12 with 85+ engines required MXG 30.07.
Support for 255 engines was added in MXG 31.04.
And z/VM on the z15 requires MXG 38.02, PRCMFC/MFM COUNTERS caused
HARDWARE COUNTER messages, PRCMFC/PRCMFM no obs. Change 38.068.
The z13 processor INCOMPATIBLY CHANGED, the new SMT-MODE RMF 70, and
MXG 34.03 was REQUIRED (PCTCPUBY WRONG!), to read'the SMT-format RMF
(which are written if you have zIIP engines AND have enabled the new
PROCVIEW CORE option for Multi-Threading, even if only one thread is
enabled).
-The new zEDC/EADM compression hardware requires 38.10 to support
new metrics.
-The MXG Tape Mount Monitor program/started task MXGTMNT must be at
ML=55 which was created in MXG 33.09 in 2015 and is unchanged. That
Maintenance Level is in the Startup Messages in the JOBLOG of the
MXGTMNT Started Task. If there is no ML= message or it is not 55
then you must assemble the MXGTMNT Program with member ASMTAPEE.
TO CONFIRM YOU ARE USING ML-55, LOOK AT THE SYSLOG MESSAGES
FOR THE MXGTMNT STARTED TASK AND CONFIRM YOU SEE THIS MESSAGE:
6.27.07 STC03134 TMNT016I MXG TAPE MONITOR MAINTENANCE LEVEL 55
INITIALIZATION COMPLETE (2022/05/04777.25)
9. MXG IS VERY sensitive to changes/additions in the data records that
MXG reads, and they are often changed incompatibly when you install
new Version/Release of your Operating Systems/Subsystems/etc. The
list online at http://www.mxg.com/changes in Section IV shows the
minimum MXG Version that is required to tolerate incompatible changes
in each release of z/OS, z/VM, CICS, DB2, SAS, etc. Highlights are:
z/OS 3.1 Support was in MXG 39.08 New vars in 41.05 CH 41.092:.

10.a SAS Versions
The current version nomenclature is SAS 9.4 TS1M8 (9.4M8), or
with OPTIONS VERSIONLONG:
("TS04.01M8P01182023)"
SAS V9.4 M8 Is RECOMMENDED, but MXG executes without error using
SAS Version 9.4 M0-M4,M7-M8 or SAS Version 9.3 M0-M2.
SAS V9.4.M7 and M8 for ASCII execution require SAS HOT FIX 69871.
See Change 41.012.
Only on z/OS, SAS 9.4 "M5" requires MXG 35.36+ because it adds the
NOERRORSTOP option to protect all MXG PROC SQLs from the M5 defect
that will be corrected in SAS Note 61672 defect. See Change 35.309
for more details on using NOERRORSTOP for your own PROC SQLs.
SAS V9.4 (ALL) and SAS V9.3 (ALL) are at LEVEL A SAS Support.
SAS V9.3 SAS 9.3 TS1M2 was RECOMMENDED. SAS 9.3 TS1M1 works ok.
But SAS 9.3 at TS1M0, the HOT FIX for SAS Note SN-43828,
see CHANGE 29.169, IS REQUIRED:
The %MACRO compiler error is in processing %LET
statements. While only two MXG members failed
repeatedly in MXG QA tests on z/OS, there were random
%LET errors in ASCII QA tests, so ANY use of %LET
statement on ANY platform are vulnerable to this
error, as the %MACRO compiler is SAS portable code,
used on all platforms. So this is NOT just an MXG
error, but impacts ALL SAS programs.
SAS9.3 is LEVEL A support from SAS.
SAS V9.2 Was recommended, prior to 9.3, and was error-free with
MXG 26.03 SAS Hot Fix for SAS Note 37166 is required to
use a VIEW with the MXG EXITCICS/CICSFIUE CICS/DB2
Decompression Infile Exit. but SAS V9.2 does execute on
that platform.
9.2 is LEVEL B Support from SAS, as of Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 causes JCLTEST9/TESSOTHR to ABEND, TOO MANY ARGUMENTS
FOR COUNTW() requires SAS Version 9.2 so 9.1.3 can NOT
safely be used for MXG. See CHANGE 41.046, Jun 21, 2023.
SAS V9.1.3 on z/OS 1.10 requires SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 and is at
Support level C by SAS Institute, Sep 30, 2013.
SAS V9.1.3 is NOT supported by SAS on Windows SEVEN.
SAS V8.2 SUPPORT LEVEL C BY SAS INSTITUTE; NOT ALL OF MXG WORKS!
with SAS 8.2.
SAS 8.2 is Level C Support from SAS as of Dec 31, 2011.
JCL in MXGSAS94 or MXGSAS93 can be used, or MXGNAMES can be used
***************************************************************
As documented in Change 27.356, for SAS V9.2 or later):
The standard SAS JCL Procedure can be used for MXG with SAS V9.2+
// EXEC SAS,CONFIG='MXG.SOURCLIB(CONFIMXG)'
//MXGNAMES DD DSN=MXG.USERID.SOURCLIB(MXGNAMES),DISP=SHR
or you can continue to use the MXGSAS93 JCL Procedure example.

Your technician can request ftp download instructions via return
email by using the form at

"Dropping in" a new MXG Version typically takes only a few hours.
12. Converting from MICS to MXG.
MXG is not a "drop in" replacement for MICS, but many customers report
they have replaced MICS with MXG.
MXG is a single product with support for all data records from all IBM
Mainframe Logs (SMF,RMF,IMS,MONWRITE,DCOLLECT,AIX,HSM,etc). There is
no separate "network"/DB2/CICS/etc component. But there is no direct
replacement for the MICS Chargeback Accounting summarization, although
all of the chargeable resource metrics are captured, with their
account fields where available, and there are simple billing examples.
But to match MICS, sites may need to compose SAS scripts to generate
Chargeback data-feeds from the appropriate MXG Input files.
In many cases, the conversion was done by the existing MICS/MXG
technician, especially when they are fairly competent in the SAS
language, with system programmer skills and with IT resource
management experience for IBM mainframes. The MICSMXG member in MXG
has only ten technical notes from users about their conversions.
But in other cases, sites have relied on a consultant or service for
the conversion, depending on local skills and complexity of the site's
use of MICS. MXG does NOT claim to replicate MICS reports; it provides
many example reports but the user must have sufficient SAS skills to
execute and tailor them. But you can also create EXCEL or SQL or CSV
or PDF or other ODS output formats, if those are your preferred
reporting tools.
See the link at https://www.mxg.com/Product_Info for details on
how to license MXG Software.
