Re: IRA400E
Sharon, in my opinion, this is a too much buffer usage symtom for your XRC complex. The total amount of fixed buffers for your four SDM sessions is very close (or maybe exceeds) the amount of REAL memory assigned to SDM LPAR. This problem maybe originated by many sources: - spike on writes on your primary dasd subsystems; - performance problem on your journal dasd subsystem; - performance problem on your secondary dasd subsystem; - too much fixed buffers for your LPAR real storage amount. If you have XRC/PM active, you can see what happened looking at history data. Anyway, you can get a regular look to your SDM environment, using XRC commands to monitor delays. Hope this helps.

Re: Product Suggestions
August Carideo asks: Any suggestions from the list for replacements of the below listed products would be appreciated am assuming SYNC sort can be replace with IBM DFSORT, or CASORT but trying to avoid CA products CA Products ACF2 z/OS Security Server (RACF) - IBM Program Number 5694-A01 You may also wish to add one or a couple of the Tivoli zSecure products, notably zSecure Admin and/or zSecure Visual, so the security administrators are even happier and have less to learn. CA1 z/OS DFSMSrmm - 5694-A01 CopyCat Tivoli Tape Optimizer for z/OS - 5698-B26 TPX IBM Session Manager for z/OS (5697-N61). IBM has some other session managers as alternatives, but look at ISM first. NetMaster Most probably Tivoli NetView for z/OS (5697-ENV) and/or Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Mainframe Networks (5698-A35). Intertest Debug Tool for z/OS - 5655-W45 Detector for DB2 Most probably DB2 Query Monitor for z/OS (5697-I03), but you may also like one or a couple of the IBM Optim tools, such as Optim Query Tuner for z/OS and/or Optim Query Workload Tuner for z/OS. Plan Analyzer DB2 Path Checker for z/OS (5697-Q01) and/or DB2 SQL Performance Analyzer for z/OS (5697-I04). You might as well also get the IBM DB2 Accessories Suite for z/OS, available at no additional charge to all licensed DB2 for z/OS customers. Allocate Tivoli Advanced Allocation Management for z/OS - 5697-P35 Vantage It depends on which pieces of Vantage you have, but you would be looking at one or more of the following products, in some combination: Tivoli Advanced Reporting for DFSMShsm - 5698-B14 Tivoli Advanced Audit for DFSMShsm - 5698-B12 Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Storage on z/OS - 5698-A37 SymDump Fault Analyzer for z/OS - 5655-W46 XCOM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition for z/OS (5655-U80) or IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS. RC/Update Extract For RC/Update probably DB2 Table Editor for z/OS (5697-G65) but you may also want DB2 Administration Tool (5697-L90) if you don't have it already. IBM Optim Test Data Management for IMS/VSAM/Sequential (5655-V17) may also be applicable. For RC/Extract you would probably use IBM Optim Test Data Management for z/OS (5655-V11). IBM File Manager (5697-Q03) may also be useful. ASG Products ViewDirect Probably Content Manager OnDemand for z/OS (5697-N93) or perhaps Tivoli Output Manager for z/OS (5698-A26). Synsort Products Syncsort SRAM z/OS DFSORT - 5694-A01 Data Direct Products SQLINK I think DataDirect (now Progress Software) calls this product SequeLink. I can't figure out what SequeLink does that DB2 doesn't already do by itself (perhaps with DB2 Connect licensing, which you'd need anyway), so do you still need SequeLink?

Hi list, I can't find the answer in the CA documentation (or on Google) so I thought I'd come here. In the TPX SMF records -specifically the interval and shutdown records - there is a section that has SACB statistics. It has 2 fields in it, current SACBs in use and the SACB high water mark. Can somebody tell me just what the SACB is? What I'm actually looking for is something that tells me the maximum number of concurrent users of one of the applications I have defined to TPX. If I can't get that, the max number of terminal sessions signed onto TPX concurrently. I'm hoping the SACB field is the latter of these. TIA.

Re: How to know the usage frequency of my FORTRAN program ?
Joel: Interesting suggestion and will have to think on it for a while berfore trying it.*ASSUMING* this FORTRAN program is NOT dynaically loaded.I would go after the (used to be type 4 SMF records and if I recall correctly at least SAS used to off a freebie that did this. I have a stuck memory and it is trying to come up with another way. IMO SMF is the best for batch. and you can get as long a history that you keep SMF data for. I am not sure I would bet my job as it can be fun if the programmer if he manages to put an alias on it(there are some smart origrammers out there) .A long time ago over in Europe I was trying to hide some load mods from programmers I played a trick on them putting an alias on IEFBR14 it was fun as they couldn't figure out how to abend iefbr14 (clueless beginners). The manager of the support group got involved as someone tried to burn me and I showed him what I did and he asked me to let them go ahead and puzzle it out. Not one single student could guess how to do. There were enlisted, officers and a few civilians in the class I was giving and no one caught on. I did not give the class a solution as I wanted to do another similar class but choose a different problem.When I was leaving the Army one of the officers comes up to me and asks and I told him I would write him a letter when I got state side and well out of Army reach and explain.20 years later he looked me up and took me out to dinner.Ed --- On Thu, 10/28/10, Joel C.

This will also catch any invocation of the programs by other programs, which includes TSO usage, and not just the usage by direct PGM reference on an EXEC statement.
