Not quite: As you've seen, it IS possible to change thresholds while PerfKit
is up and running. The problem is that these NEW thresholds will be applied
only to users that logon AFTER setting them, but not to the users that were
already logged on and got other thresholds assigned previously. So yes, to
have different thresholds applied for EXISTING users during the next shift,
you'll have to recycle PerfKit. You'll have to ask IBM if you want this
behaviour to be changed ...

You mean.... It is IMPOSSIBLE to change thresholds without
stopping and restarting the PERFSVM? :-(
Isn't it strange that PTK *does* know about my
new settings (as shown in results of
FC USRLIMIT QUERY) but doesn't obey them?
And doesn't anyone else have shifts with differing
job characteristics?
Strange....

Shimon, see usage note 1 for the FC USRLIMIT
command: it tells you that PerfKit will associate
the user limit values with a user that were set at
the time the first set of performance data was
collected for that user (either PerfKit start or
first user logon). Later changes will not affect
users that are already logged on, sorry ..

shifts?
Hi,
I set up events to change my PTK settings of
USRLIMITS according to shifts.
The main batch machines are not supposed to be
gobbling resources during prime time,
but at night they can run wild. So, while the
usual USRLIMIT for %CPU is 30,
at 17:00 I want to do FC USRLIMIT <batchuser>
%CPU 75 5/10.
I put several of these commands in an exec with
'FCONCMD FCSTACK',
and the exec ran. I also did FC USRLIMIT QUERY and
verified that the
new settings are recognized.
But... I still get daytime exception messages at
night.
What else do I need to do?
Thanks,
Shimon
