Did anyone actually answer the OP? All I saw was sarcasm and topic drift. First, there are many tools that show CPU consumption. Consumption data is stored in SMF interval records, and can be seen live using SDSF, Omegamon, Tmon, RMF, and other tools.
So, look at SDSF and RMF, which you should already have along with the operating system. Assuming you record and keep SMF data, and that you have SAS available, you might look into Barry Merrill's MXG product. As for the term "500MIPS/Day", it's entirely ambiguous. MIPS means Millions of Instructions Per Second. So, the term could mean just 500 million instructions per day, or it could mean 500 million instructions every second all day long every day. (or an average of about that). 500 million instructions per day is a nit. It can occur in less than a second. Most likely, the customer meant the latter, and that is significant. Depending on the hardware, that may be one or two engines. You may also want to review historical SMF data for the application. Has the application CPU time increased significantly over time? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
