I think this might be it: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1OA27623
If this applies, then 8,000,000 samples over 10 minutes is the default. I would note that it might actually take a couple of minutes before the cap was activated. It is a running average, so it would take WLM a lot longer to react to an abrupt increase as opposed to a slow ramp up. That doesn't matter since you are billed at the actual R4A or the cap value, whichever is lower. Wonder what the manager really wants to know? HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Farley, Peter x23353 Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 2:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Softcapping Q: Where is the sample interval for the 4hr rolling average documented? Resent plain text, sorry for the formatted one previously. Someone in management here wants to know what the sampling interval is for the calculation by the z10 hardware of the 4hr rolling average MSU's that is used to trigger softcapping. Would one of the performance gurus here please point me to the FM where I can find this information for z10 EC machines? TIA for your assistance.
