Sysplex CDS placement
Hello group, Manual z/OS V1R8.0 MVS Setting Up a Sysplex still states that the Primary Sysplex couple dataset and the Primary CFRM couple dataset should reside on different volumes. I suppose this was valid 10 years ago, but is it still with current modern devices with PAV, large caches etc. etc.? We haven't implemented the Message based protocol for the CFRM datasets, since it has (had) a PE against it. Still I never noticed high activity against the CFRM dataset, so I wondere if it is safe to put all Sysplex CDS's on one volume. GDPS advices to quadruple the Sysplex CDSs: each dataset an alternate in the other site and each dataset a spare in each site. So we need either 4 or 8 volumes.

Re: Memory Upgradation ??
The short easy answer is "It depends". You need to look at average frame utilization of real storage and also at paging.

The IBM recommendation is probably what popped out of a model/simulation. If you ask nicely they may even give you the results. May be as simple as a "xxx Gigs/processor rule-of-thumb"- may be more complex; more CPUs means more work, means more memory pressure, means more memory needed. Who knows.

Re: Display IEAOPT
Hi Elardus, SMF Type 90 (Subtype 11) simply gives the OPT names: SMF90OPO = old OPT parmlib member name, SMF90OPN = new OPT parmlib member name. These names don't tell you much about the values actually specified in the old and new OPT members. :-( The lack of OPT information in SMF is indeed unfortunate. As Martin Packer implied, automated performance analysis tools cannot easily check for common OPT problems if the data is not easily available! In a legacy version of CPExpert, the "SRM Component" checked IPS/ICS/OPT/TSOKEY parameters by reading the relevant members in sys1.parmlib. This approach was prone to user error, since the actual sys1.parmlib members had to be available to the system on which CPExpert was running, but the system being evaluated was not necessarily the system on which CPExpert ran! Even then, operator changes to OPT specifications would not always be reflected in sys1.parmlib members. With modern z/OS environments, most of IBM subsystems are "self-documenting" so automated performance analysis tools can easily build a "model" of the environment being analyzed. With WLM, most of the relevant information is available in TYPE 72, and SMF is "self documenting" with regard to service class period information, resource group information, etc. There still is the missing workload classification information, but most information necessary for analyzing WLM performance problems is available in SMF. Specifications related to PR/SM, IRD, Blocked Workload, HiperDispatch Management Mode, and other system parameter specifications are available in SMF. As a result, automated performance analysis products can happily read SMF data and have an understanding of detailed performance issues in these z/OS performance areas. Similarly, a legacy version of the CPExpert CICS Component had to read the System Initialization Table (SIT) parameters directly from the SIT (and any operator overrides had to be explicitly provided). This was annoying to users, particularly for those users with a large number of unique (not cloned) CICS regions. Since CICS MVS/ESA Release 4.1, most (and all important) SIT parameters are provided in SMF Type 110 records, and the CICS Development Team continues to add SIT values to the Type 110 records as new features are added to CICS. Automated performance analysis products can happily read SMF Type 110 data and have an understanding of detailed performance issues in CICS performance areas. All important DB2 parameters and specifications are available in SMF (particularly if Trace Type 106 is available). A complete model of the DASD I/O environment now can be constructed entirely from SMF data. WebSphere MQ parameter specifications are available in SMF (and detailed queue information is available if SMF Type 116 is available). The bottom line of this is that IBM has been moving extensively toward providing "self documenting" data in SMF. The glaring lack of complete performance-related OPT information is the one major area in which "self documenting" specifications have not been made available in SMF. It almost seems to be a hit-or-miss situation as to whether OPT specifications are available in SMF!. As examples, there is complete information in SMF Type 70 records about OPT specifications for some new features (such as OPT specifications controlling Blocked Workload or HiperDispatch Management Mode), but there is no OPT information in SMF about other new features (such as ZAAPAWMT or ZIIPAWMT). It is disheartening to know that performance problems could easily be identified and solutions recommended automatically, if only the required OPT information were available in SMF! Placing the remaining performance-related OPT information in the SMF Type 70 records would significantly improve automated performance analysis and would have almost zero effect on SMF file size.

Re: Edit macro to support jcl set commands in instream inputs
You lost me. You were talking about CICS regions, then maint jobs, then IMS, then CRC. And yet still provided no clear example of what good it would be. Perhaps you have a tool and are trying to force it to be used somewhere? On Fri, 4 Jul 2008 14:37:23 +0200, Itschak Mugzach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Kenneth, > >This rexx is for the maint. Jobs.
