If you have RMF, you can run RMFPM (free download) on a workstation and
have it track both the LPAR MSU and the LPAR 4-hour rolling MSU in near
real time and periodically check the values in RMFPM, perhaps even take
a few extra seconds to have RMFPM display a graph of the values to make
trends
RMF MON III will report an estimated time until soft-capping will begin. This
can also be monitored as an RMF exception condition so that you can set a
threshold and take some action.
If RMF III has this capability others monitors may also have it. I would
contact the monitor vendor and ask th
Thanks for your suggestions, all good. I am aware of the RMFPM product and have
been using it from time to time but I can't afford to have someone sitting

You may want to take a look at MSUMON, by Angel Luis Dominguez. It issues WTOs

extremely clear that if these messages were to appear that bells and al
