Copy group monitor operation frame
After the BCM GUI starts, the dashboard tab appears, as shown below. The operation frame for starting and stopping the BCM Web API server and copy group monitoring, and the copy group dashboard frame are displayed.
Clicking the Display thresholds button displays the Thresholds of copy group dashboard items threshold table that shows threshold values of the items displayed on the dashboard, as shown below.
Use this frame to start and stop the BCM Web API server and copy group monitoring.

Button name |
What happens when the button is clicked |
|
|---|---|---|

BCM Web API server |
Start |
When the BCM Web API server is not running, clicking this button connects to z/OSMF, starts the TSO/E address space, and starts the BCM Web API server. This button turns green when the BCM Web API server starts normally, and turns red when it does not start normally. When connecting, if the cert key or the value of the cert key is not specified (when a client certificate is not used) in the zosmf section in the configuration file, the z/OS password entry dialog box appears. |
|
End |
When the system is in the process of monitoring, clicking this button stops the process, ends the BCM Web API server and the TSO/E address space, and ends the connection from z/OSMF. The "BCM Web API server" changes to the same color as the background. |
|
|
Monitor interval |
Start |
When the system is not in the process of monitoring ("Monitor interval" is not green or yellow), clicking this button starts the BCM Web API server if it is not running. When there is at least one copy group loaded, the monitoring processing will start and ("Monitor interval" will turn green, indicating that monitoring is continuing). Monitoring is performed repeatedly at the specified intervals. If monitoring is scheduled to stop ("Monitor interval" is yellow), the system continues the monitoring process. |
|
Stop |
When the system is in the process of monitoring ("Monitor interval" is green), clicking this button will stop the monitoring processing and ("Monitor interval" will turn yellow). When the monitoring cycle is complete, the monitoring processing ends ("Monitor interval" turns to the background color). |
|
|
Once |
Clicking this button starts the BCM Web API server if it is not running. When there is at least one copy group loaded, the monitoring processing will start, and the monitoring cycle will run once. "Monitor interval" will turn yellow, indicating that the monitoring processing will stop. |
|
Dashboard frame
The dashboard frame displays an overview of the results of copy group monitoring.

Pair state |
OK |
All copy pairs are in the intended copy pair status. |
|
WARN |
There is a copy pair that can change to the intended copy pair status when there is no pair of ERR status. |
|
|
ERR |
There is a copy pair in a status that cannot change to the intended copy pair status (value of Pair state goto). |
|
|
N/A |
|
|
|
Pair matching% |
OK |
The pair matching rate of the copy group has reached or exceeded the pair matching rate warning threshold. |
|
WARN |
The pair matching rate of the copy group is below the pair matching rate warning threshold. |
|
|
N/A |
|
|
|
ATTIME suspend |
OK |
The copy pairs are suspended because the ATTIME suspend time has passed. Alternatively , ATTIME suspend was executed because no I/O was detected. |
|
WARN |
Suspend has not been executed even though an ATTIME suspend time is set. |
|
|
ERR |
An ATTIME suspend was executed due to a timeout. |
|
|
N/A |
|
|
|
C/T delta |
OK |
The C/T delta for all journal groups in the copy group is below or equal to the C/T delta warning threshold. |
|
WARN |
In the copy group, there is a journal group that has exceeded the C/T delta warning threshold, but is below or equal to the C/T delta abnormal threshold, when there is no pair of ERR status. |
|
|
ERR |
In the copy group, there is a journal group that has exceeded the C/T delta abnormal threshold. |
|
|
N/A |
|
|
|
Journal usage |
OK |
The journal usage rate for all journal groups in the copy group is below or equal to the warning threshold. |
|
WARN |
In the copy group, there is a journal group that has exceeded the journal usage warning threshold, but is below or equal to the journal usage abnormal threshold, when there is no pair of ERR status. |
|
|
ERR |
In the copy group, there is a journal group that has exceeded the journal usage abnormal threshold. |

Pair state goto |
Expected pair state. The display of pair state depends on this value. If you do not want to monitor pair status, specify N/A.
Note: After performing actions in the copy group action menu and pair action menu, the value specified for Pair state goto in the option dialog box will overwrite the existing value (excluding the following situations: when locate, load, or the CANCEL button in the option dialog box is clicked, when the YKQUERY error occurs in SELECT(COND), and when a session error occurs). |

Warning pair matching% |
The pair matching rate warning threshold. When the pair matching rate of the copy group is below this value, pair matching% in the dashboard frame turns yellow, indicating a WARN status. |
99 |
numeric characters ((0-100)) |
|
Warning C/T delta |
The C/T delta warning threshold. When the C/T delta value of the copy group has exceeded this value, C/T delta in the dashboard frame turns yellow, indicating a WARN status. |
000 01:00:00 |
000 00:00:00 to 999 23:59:58 A value that is less than the value of Abnormal C/T delta |
|
Abnormal C/T delta |
The C/T delta abnormal threshold. When the C/T delta value of the copy group has exceeded this value, C/T delta in the dashboard frame turns red, indicating an ERR status. |
000 01:00:00 |
000 00:00:01 to 999 23:59:59 A value that is bigger than the value of warning C/T delta |

The journal usage warning threshold. When there is a journal group whose usage rate has exceeded this value, Journal usage in the dashboard frame turns yellow, indicating a WARN status. |
60 |
numeric characters ((0-99)) A value that is less than the value of Abnormal journal usage |
|
Abnormal journal usage |
The journal usage abnormal threshold. When there is a journal group whose usage rate has exceeded this value, Journal usage in the dashboard frame turns red, indicating an ERR status. |
