I'm trying to verify and consolidate what I feel I know about hiper-dispatch. We are running a z10-BC under z/OS 1.9. Our processor has 4 engines and 3 LPARS (production - 4 LPs, development - 2 LPs, and system programmer sandbox - 2 LPs0). We currently are not running hiper-dispatch. About 4 weeks ago we had a meeting with IBM and Sirius to discuss some CICS response time problems we had been having. I could not be at the meeting as I was out of town on family business. In that meeting IBM and Sirius strongly urged us to turn on hiper-dispatch, and they said that there was a new measurement tool to tell us "how much we improved" after making the change. However, I understand the following about hiper-dispatch. Can anyone verify if my understanding is correct? 1. For our system set up hiper-dispatch probably won't be of any great benefit. 2. Although IBM won't admit it, there could be a downside to hiper-dispatch, especially in smaller environments like our. 3. The "measurement tool" is a new SMF record that is cut. However, IBM has not published the layout of this record and to get reports on it you have to send the data to IBM (or our third party vendor, Sirius).
