Interesting. Have you tried turning off DASD caching statistics in RMF? That's been an issue in various software and hardware vintages/combinations. Bit us once.
Since everything is WAD (albeit slowly), there would not be any smoke or bodies. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Skip Robinson Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 12:38 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: MVS 4 minute 'outage' We have a waxing and waning 'freeze' problem that occurs in synch with our SMF/RMF recording interval. Nothing approaching four minutes, but disturbingly long. A couple of points: -- If the freeze was one time only and not chronic, it's probably not SMF/RMF -- Based on our experience, good luck in gathering doc. If the whole system is frozen, who can 'take notes' while in a coma? In any case, please keep us updated. . .
