Application Conversion Considerations
Application Conversion Considerations
To obtain ZMS-style records from the callable interface, you must modify the procedure 
calls to pass the templateversion parameter as described in the Measure 
Reference Manual.
If the application is written in TAL or pTAL, you might have to convert constants and 
variable fields used in calculations to FIXED types if the underlying record fields have 
changed.
Field Reason for Removal
All max-qlen fields Max queue values were of questionable use in the 
legacy interface and are removed in the ZMS style. 
Measure architecture is moving to a model in which 
counter records always exist, so such values would 
represent a maximum since processor reload and could 
never be reset.
entity.ctrl
entity.unit
These attributes of D-series I/O addressing have been 
invalid on all G-series RVUs. You can list D-series data 
in ZMS-style records, but D-series addressing attributes 
are mapped to G-series addressing fields and must be 
referred to by the G-series names.
CPU.mem-qtime This counter applies only to data prior to the G05.00 
RVU. If analysis of this attribute is required, continue to 
use the legacy-style interface.
CPU.processor-status This attribute is in all G-series RVUs but always reports 
as 16 CPUs, so it provides little value.
CPU.send-busy-time This counter applies only to D-series data. If analysis of 
this attribute is required, continue to use the legacy-style 
interface.
CPU.starting-ucl-lock
CPU.ending-ucl-lock
CPU.starting-uds-lock
CPU.ending-uds-lock
CPU.starting-scl-lock
CPU.ending-scl-lock
CPU.starting-sds-lock
CPU.ending-sds-lock
PROCESS.lock-pages-qtime
PROCESS.ucl-lock-qtime
These legacy-style record counters were reserved but 
never instrumented.
DISC.seeks
DISC.seek-busy-time
DISC.ablks-inuse-qtime
DISC.cblks-inuse-qtime
OPDISK.seeks
OPDISK.seek-busy-time
These counters have been obsolete since before D-
series RVUs.
