QSYS2.JVM_INFO Timeout for bad JVMs

Hello,

we are using the qsys2.jvm_info view very frequently. But there is an issue if one or more jvms running on the system are, for example, looping, blocked or any other other bad state but the jvms are not terminating.
The select call to qsys2.jvm_info will run either for a few minutes (at least 120 secs per bad jvm) before the result is coming back or sometimes infinitie and does not provide any result.
Is there a way that you could implement some kind of configurable hard timeout, when qsys2.jvm_info scans all jvms on the system and cannot get stats from a jvm which is in a bad condition?
We then could reduce it as it seems that default timeout is summed up for each bad jvm.

I see this error on v7r2, v7r3 and v7r4.
If there would be a fix at least for v7r4 that would be nice.
On v7r4 we are on cumptf 21238 with JAVA PTF Level 12 (SR6FP35) and DB2 at Level 15


Use Case:

We use qsys2.jvm_info and also a lot of other views for monitoring a very large environment of jvm native jobs and websphere (liberty and express) jvms.

    This enhancement was delivered in May 2023 with IBM i 7.5 PTF Group level 4 and IBM i 7.4 PTF Group level 25.

    The response wait time for the QSYS2.JVM_INFO view was changed from 2 minutes to 3 seconds. In addition the new QSYS2.JVM_INFO table function was introduced, allowing the user to customize the wait time.

    You can read about it on the fact pages here:

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.
