TMON One PS2603 Release is now Available (October 2026)

TMON One PS2603 is now available, headlined by TMON for Db2 6.2 – the first major Db2 release in some time – with enhancements across CICS TS, MQ, TCP/IP, z/OS, IMS, and Strategic Services, plus bug fixes and performance improvements.

Expanded TMON Stream support

TMON Stream delivers performance metrics from TMON products as structured data to external analytics and visualization platforms. PS2603 extends it to additional record types across five products, with TMON Central providing configuration support for all additions.

TMON for Db2 6.2 – a major release

The most substantial set of new Db2 capabilities in recent releases.

Filtered logging of thread-related LFS data

Adds user-defined collection profiles to filter Db2 threads, limiting the large volume of data collected by LFS. Filtering covers character ID fields such as Package Name, AuthID, and End User TxID, and numeric values such as Elapsed, CPU, and Wait time.

SQL statement incompatible changes

Adds IFCID 376 collection to identify SQL statements with incompatible changes when switching applications or making SQL changes. Logged packages with incompatible changes are flagged.

Db2 Fast Index Traversal support (FTB)

Adds logging and display of IFCIDs 389 and 477, plus added field support in IFCID 125. Db2 uses Fast Traverse Blocks to improve the performance of random index access; the logged FTB data helps evaluate fast index traversal use in the subsystem. See Fast Index Traversal (FTB) (Collected) and Interval FTB Statistics (IX) Record.

DORA data compliance

The Digital Operational Resilience Act specifies data required for proof of compliance. Adds logging and display of Db2 Utility IFCIDs 219 and 220, along with related IFCIDs, to help meet DORA requirements and accelerate compliance. See DORA Compliance Data.

Additional usability improvements

Adds a colored, adjustable CPU% column with customizable colorization thresholds to the Thread Summary rosters (Current and Collected). Installation improves with a new $NEWS member in TDBINST describing what’s new, a $MEMBERS member listing TDBINST library members with descriptions, and RW reports consolidated into a separate file to unclutter the base library. See User Monitor Options and Thread Summary (Collected).

TMON for CICS TS V4.2

Data streaming support added (PTF TH04577); see the TMON Stream table above.

TMON for MQ V3.0

IBM MQ v10 toleration

Supports IBM MQ v10 queue managers, enabling monitoring and management of MQ v10 environments.

ACCTIME setting support

Supports the ACCTIME attribute for IBM MQ v9.3.0 and later, allowing the STATIME interval (SMF115) to be set independently of ACCTIME (SMF116). The CSQ6SYSP – System Initialization Parms screen now accepts interval times for both, in minutes and seconds.

DLQ reason code display

The Message Details – Page 1 screen for a DLQ now shows the MQRC in both decimal and hexadecimal, simplifying error analysis.

TMON for TCP/IP V2.6

Dynamic VIPA port-level workload visibility (PTF TJ02037)

Adds a Dynamic VIPA Port-Level Workload screen (option 6) showing Sysplex Distributor routing and workload by DVIPA and port. See Dynamic VIPA Port-Level Workload.

TMON for z/OS V4.9 and V4.10

Data streaming support added (PTF TD07549) for both releases; see the TMON Stream table above.

TMON for IMS V3.5

Includes updates improving the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of IMS monitoring and performance management.

TMON Health AI

Three enhancements in this release.

Containerized installation

Adds a containerized installation option using Docker, with Health AI Services and Scope delivered as an integrated solution. All components run in Docker images on a single platform, removing the need for separate Linux and Windows virtual machines (standalone native installations remain supported). This streamlines installation, upgrades, and diagnostics while centralizing configuration. See TMON Health AI installation.

Off-mainframe AI processing

Baseline generation, anomaly evaluation, KPI publishing, and AI Engine functions now run within the Health AI Services environment instead of on the mainframe, reducing z/OS CPU and zFS storage and eliminating the separate Health AI Engine started task. KPI and metadata collection from TMON products continues, with detected anomalies available in the Scope web UI for the Action Engine.

Enhanced anomaly detection

Adds AI and machine learning powered anomaly detection extending existing statistical methods. The models learn from historical system behavior, identify long-term trends, and account for seasonal patterns across weeks and quarters, improving accuracy and enabling earlier identification as operational cycles evolve. See TMON Health AI architecture.

Rocket Scope

Linux installation support (v2.3.1)

Scope now deploys on Linux using Docker containers, standardizing installation and configuration across operating systems. Requirements and environment variables are documented in the TMON Health AI installation guide. Admin email configuration is mandatory after Docker installation and applies only to containerized deployments, not bare-metal installations. See Linux installation.
