We upgraded to z/VM 5.2 from z/VM 3.1 a month ago. We have noticed that some printing using RSCS V3.2 appears to take 5 to 6 times as long to send PostScript data to the XEROX DocuPrint 75 EPS printer then before. I have reviewed all the exec which creates the output and they appear to be working as before creating a PS file. PPS is then used to print the file which contains %!PS-Adobe-2-0 as the first record. The PS file is about 300,000 records, fix length of 80. This Im told is a small file and took about 6 minutes for RSCS to send to the printer on this new release which took about a minute on the old system.
The VM network has changed a little. We are using a VSWITCH instead of attached OSA card to the TCP/IP stack. I would think this should improve the performance. Both RSCS and TCPIP userid are only using 1 % of CPU cycles. The RSCS definitions is as follows LINKDEFINE E216LS AST TYPE LPR PARM E216LS EXIT=LPRXPSE TCPID=TCPIP2 HOST=142.214.195.120 PR=e210np1 SYSTEM=YES EPARM='EOT=Y EH=N SEP=Y' USER=YES Has anyone else experience any problems in this area?
