If the command executes successfully, SNAplus2 returns the following parameters:

alerts_sent

Number of locally originated alerts sent using the MDS transport system.

alert_errors_rcvd

Number of error messages received by MDS. An error message indicates a delivery failure for a message containing an alert.

uncorrelated_alert_errors

Number of error messages received by MDS. An error message indicates a delivery failure for a message containing an alert. Delivery failure occurs when the error message cannot be correlated to an alert on the MDS send alert queue. MDS maintains a fixed-size queue where it caches alerts that were sent to the problem determination focal point. When the queue reaches maximum size, the oldest alert is discarded and replaced by the new alert. If a delivery error message is received, MDS attempts to correlate the error message to a cached alert so the alert can be held until the problem determination focal point is restored.

Note

The two counts alert_errors_rcvd and uncorrelated_alert_errors can be used to check that the size of the send alert queue (specified on the define_node command) is appropriate. If the value of uncorrelated_alert_errors increases over time, the size of the send alert queue is too small.

mds_mus_rcvd_local

Number of MDS_MUs received from local applications.

mds_mus_rcvd_remote

Number of MDS_MUs received from remote nodes using the MDS_RECEIVE and MSU_HANDLER transaction programs.

mds_mus_delivered_local

Number of MDS_MUs successfully delivered to local applications.

mds_mus_delivered_remote
