Subject: Re: Are there tasks that don't play by WLM's rules
Hello, nice thread - but the heading isn't quite right. These processes play by WLM rules: pop up all by the same time,use little cpu and go to sleep again. RMF will show bursts of activity and long periods with low activity. I've seen this with batch jobs having common i/o patterns and low cpu activity. An overall low cpu activity with spikes of cpu activity and permanently queued processes due to much smaller number of cpus then processes. If such a cycle has established itself (due to various clocks e.g. lpar, schedulers etc.) it's hard to break. These cycles lived for hours. With batch jobs this can be handled by using irregular patterns for scheduling with timer driven applications this is difficult but I would suggest to try other values for the timer. It's a problem of a self-organizing system. I think there is some work requiered to ge an idea on how to break such cycles.

problems(probably) in SSL after migration from WAS3.5 to WAS5.1
Hello everybody, After migration one of our application from WAS3.5 to WAS5.1 we encountered following problem: response time grows dramatically, and in time of peak, most of users cannot simply logon (or work with) application. In WAS log we can see a lot of messages like that: Trace: 2007/10/18 10:47:51.624 01 t=AC40D0 c=UNK key=S2 (0E012048) Description: Failure Exit from - SecurityManager::secureSocketInit Socket descriptor: 525 gsk_secure_socket_init: 415 we found on IBM's pages solution of similar problem: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK34416 but 1. we don't use PAUSELISTENER nor RESUMELISTENER modify commands 2. environment variable control_region_dreg_on_no_srs is not specified (so we don't know if it's really this situation).

If you have the CP's and the speed for short bursts maybe not an issue.

I remember the faces here when we started the cell group up, 7 address spaces. Just about everything stopped. We did try stagger start because we had control but the overall pain was just too much.

Re: Placement of Couple Data sets
Skip Sorry for being dense, but since we now have virtual dasd (RAID) and we now have ICF, has anyone done any current research to see if a re-evaluation of this process needs to be done? I am just thinking that with the current dasd types, it maybe that things have changed a bit. We currently have 2 separate storage arrays for the mainframe. Our CFRM was on the alter array (5 miles away) as is our Logr. Both on different dasd devices on the remote array The Primaries for ARM, SFM, Sysplex and OMVS are on our primary Storage array. The primary storage array is attached to a z9. The remote to a z890. Now, would I not have issues with the primary CFRM and LOGR on the remote storage array? Would it not be better for them to be on the faster z9 and local to the z9? Also, what reports would I look at to verify whether or not they are placed correctly? Lizette In that same time frame (mid 90s), our primary CFRM was so busy that we could not XRC mirror it. That's no longer true. But yes, three volumes are the minimum IBM recommendation.

nope the value for progs are less than 31000. How can I do that ?
You'd probably be better off asking this over on CICS-L, but there is a
limit of 32K to the size of a DFHCOMMAREA. Are your developers
expecting to be able to have DFHCOMMAREA 32K? If yes, they should use
Channels and Containers instead of DFHCOMMAREA.
Sorry, I'm confused. How do you do what?
If you mean how do you pass 31000 bytes, you just LINK or XCTL or RETURN
with TRANSID using a parameter that large. There is no magic involved, and
AFAIK there aren't any limits imposed except the 32K maximum.
E.G., in COBOL:
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 LARGE-PARAMETER-AREA PIC X(31000) VALUE SPACES.
...
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
...
EXEC CICS XCTL
PROGRAM ('NEXTPROG')
COMMAREA (LARGE-PARAMETER-AREA)
LENGTH (LENGTH OF LARGE-PARAMETER-AREA)
END-EXEC.
The NEXTPROG program will receive a 31000-byte DFHCOMMAREA.
If that was not what you meant to ask, please try again.

Re: Are there tasks that don't play by WLM's rules
Well, that's what I am attempting to do. Did I mention that the vendor is IBM? And that the product is developed in the same location as WLM? In Germany, no less? Well, unfortunately, there are still too many people out there in software development that don't have a clue what z/OS UNIX really means. Porting software from one OS to another implies a certain level of knowledge on both OSs, IMHO. When porting to z/OS UNIX, there is yet another key player that needs to be factored in: MVS! Most ports probably are more or less easy to do. However, there are techniques that work perfectly in a pure UNIX but will fail miserably or become CPU hogs on z/OS UNIX because MVS was not designed to work that way. When porting big applications or servers to z/OS UNIX the developers must be willing to change the design here and there to cope with z/OS UNIX and MVS behaviour. This makes the difference between a successful port and a not so successful one. I'm *not* meaning to give offence to anybody! Since there *is* z/OS UNIX which *is* XPG compliant, there seems to be no need to know about the MVS part, so people don't get educated on MVS and, worse, are not even told to get advice from MVS people. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- 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
Re: Placement of Couple Data sets
In that same time frame (mid 90s), our primary CFRM was so busy that we could not XRC mirror it. That's no longer true. But yes, three volumes are the minimum IBM recommendation.

Re: Are there tasks that don't play by WLM's rules
I didn't mean to ask for the quantity but for how zIIPs can help that software, i.e. is it zIIP eligible work. Anyway zIIPs can drop software cost but would not make the system run faster, would they? Possibly -- IIRC the specialty engines always run at full throttle, regardless whether the GP engines are handicapped. It is true that specialty engines run at full machine speed, even on kneecapped boxes. And it is true that they don't count for software pricing purposes. So it is possible that the addition of specialty engines _might_ provide enough extra capacity for the other existing workloads that _could_ use them, to free up enough CP capacity for this unruly application. However, it is highly unlikely that any of the unruly application's own processing would run on a specialty engine unless that application is Java based. And, while cheap, the specialty engines aren't free either.
