You are posting to both the IBMMAIN group as well as CICS. So I will comment on both.
I am not clear what your questions are really asking, so instead, I will give a brief explanation of zIIP and some of the workload that can go to it. So long as your CEC is a z9 or above and the operating system is z/OS V1.6 and above, your workload can make use of the zIIP engine. The zIIP was designed so that a program can work on z/OS to have all or a portion of its enclave Service Request Block (SRB) work directed to the zIIP.. This is a function created by IBM to drive certain type of work to the zIIP - mainly enclave SRB workload. When IBM introduced the zIIP it was created to be an engine that would run at full speed, even on kneecapped processors, and didn't count against capacity-based software licenses. DB2 does a large part of its work in the zIIP. DB2 10 makes even more use of zIIP. zIIP is designed so that the enclave SRB is the unit of work eligible to be dispatched onto the specialty engine Workload manager ([[WLM]]) has been enhanced so when DB2 configures an enclave, DB2 can tell WLM whether this SRB should be scheduled to the zIIP. Utilization will be transparent to the application. The application will have no idea if part of its work is being run on the zIIP specialty engine or on a general purpose processor. All of this will be accomplished while keeping overhead at a minimum. Regardless of where the workload originated, the portion of the work that will run on the specialty engine verses a general purpose processor. The enclave SRB interface can also be taken advantage of by ISV's. The Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) provides information on specialty engine usage to help you identify when to consider purchasing a specialty engine or adding more specialty engines. Also, SMF Type 72 records contain information on specialty engine usage and fields in SMF Type 30 records let you know how much time is spent on specialty engines, as well as how much time was spent executing specialty engine eligible work on standard processors. For more details about the new RMF support for specialty engines, refer to the z/OS MVST Initialization and Tuning Reference So, this means that DB2, IMS and some ISV work can be directed to a zIIP. The RMF function (or CMF) will provide reporting on zIIP usage. Now there is in the SYS1.PARMLIB dataset a parameter called PROJECTCPU which can tell you what workload might go to a zIIP. You can then create reports with RMF using this information. http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/TD103548 So what I would like to know is what is the intent of knowing what is running on the zIIP? Are you trying to determine if you have enough zIIP engines? Or is there something else? What type of reporting are you looking to create? Are you trying to see what programs run how much of the work on the zIIP? More details on what you are specifically looking for will help in providing a more accurate answer. But if you are trying to redirect work it may not work. I will direct you to this older doc from WSC on zIIP. It may help you with your questions. The author Kathy Walsh is excellent in z/OS functions. http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/PRS2123 http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/PRS2745 Lizette > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf > Of Benjamin White > Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2012 1:31 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Identify us of Enclave and ZIIP > > After someone read an article in CMG and ran reports and displayed enclaves in SDSF > we see enclaves we did not expect. > > How can we identify the component or application that uses an enclave? > > How can we identify the ZIIP eligible feature that is using the ZIIP processor? > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
