John,
One possible reason for the delay.
When z/OS Connect EE changed the SMF 123 records to version 2, they started blocking their records. z/OS Connect will only write these records when the buffer becomes full. The buffer typically holds about 20 records. On a system where the activity is very low, it could take considerable time to generate enough records to fill the buffer.
I raises this concern with IBM. I have suggested that they need to include some form of timer event that would "flush" the buffers at a reasonable interval. They were not very receptive to the idea. They did not see this to be a problem.
SYSVIEW does include a "FLUSH" line command on the ZCNLIST command to flush the buffers on demand.
Please let us know if this matches your situtation.

Subject: DSLB / ZCRNLOG - delay/ time for results to appear
We're currently in the process of installing and verifying the ZCN product feature pack in CA-SYSVIEW V16.
We've managed to complete the configuration, create logstreams etc and have results coming thru' into ZCNRLOG.
However; there is a lag of >1 hr between requests being issued and them appearing in ZCNRLOG.
Is there a polling parameter which we need to change / create ?
