I looked at one of ours running, and it's used 9 CPU seconds in 77 hours running. The started task is now called (by default) MONITOR, and has fairly low overhead. I looked at one of ours running, and it's used 9 CPU seconds in 77 hours running. The batch parts of Softaudit, like he says below, are another story. We have a very large DASD farm, and the SURVEYOR jobs by default look at the VTOC on every online volume. You have to be really careful to scope it down and keep the runtimes reasonable. It was fairly common for me to spend 2-3 days running the monthly audit cycle of SURVEYOR, IDENTIFIER, EXTRACTOR, and DISTILLER. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 10:09 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] Softaudit for Z/OS > > > Well, I guess when we used this product it was for OS/390 > since this was a > while back, 98'.
