Re: WLM : multiple periods not recommended for batch - why?
interesting topic.. I also wonder on if those service classes that are not active (no rules,no workload assigned) will cause WLM overhead? If no, then the suggested total number of sc/periods are for active ones only.. any document supporting this? -- Cobe Xu Best Regards --- z/OS Performance & Capacity Analyst z/OS System Programmer Email: cob...@gmail.com --- -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

can limit JES2 RJE work?
Hi list, Recently, we have a problem when sending large amount spool files (about 2.5 million lines) to RJE printer, as the work caused JES2 consumes lots of CPU, therefore impacted the CICS online performance. We consider to limit JES2 address space CPU, using WLM resource group, but this will suppress other JES2 process as well. So, any idea to limit RJE work only?

Re: can limit JES2 RJE work?
Hi Ulrich, We set CKPTLINE=66,CKPTPAGE=100 (default), then CheckPoint Intveral = 66 * 100 = 6600 lines. Say we have 2.5 million lines printed (in 5 mins interval), then checkpoint count = 378.

Re: IDCAMS APF auth question.
Hi. z/OS DFSMS Access Method Services for Catalogs: Chapter 4. ALLOCATE: Access method services identifies the verb name ALLOCATE and attaches the terminal monitor program (TMP) that runs Time Sharing Option (TSO) commands in the background. The ALLOCATE command *should be used only to allocate new data sets to the job step*. If you use ALLOCATE through access method services for anything else (the handling of SYSOUT data sets, for example), you can get unpredictable results. Refer to z/OS TSO/E Programming Guide for additional information on using this command. Table 2 on page 29 separates the parameters to that you should use under access method services from the parameters that cause unpredictable results. HTH..

Re: RMF Spreadsheet Reporter
hi Michael, I have questions, in one of our shops, client limits FTP, or because we connect to the host via sine(ie. Aventail),thus we can not submit batch job from PC(RMF Spreadsheet reporter). Q1: So I copy the JCL to the host and submit manually, then download the "listing" file from host via ISPF.6. However, when I try to create working set from the this "listing" file, it comes up error saying " report options are not setting..can not process "the listing file path..." what's wrong? Q2: Can you share some sample control statements, if I want to produce workload CPU usage chart, by service class. Is this controlled in the overview file you specify in "SYSTEM OPTIONS" ? many thanks..!

Re: SMF30 record length
Thanks a lot, Barry. I read this part of note in MXG sourcelib,too. It is very useful. However, I'm a little bit confuced when I sum up CPITCBTM & CPISRBTM by date for the 2 lpars (one is DDCONS=YES, the other is NO), the result is not what I expected to see: 1. The lpar with DDCONS=NO, then total CPITCBTM+CPISRBTM approachs 0. because all the jobs should bypass DD consolidations. But what I got is, still many many jobs spend a few seconds on CPITCBTM. So, how to explain? 2. The lpar with DDCONS=YES, should have much bigger value for CPITCBTM+CPISRBTM than the other lpar. But in fact the difference varies from 100 seconds to 350 seconds per day. regarding the EMPTYEXCPSEC(SUPPRESS) , we're still in 1.9.

CPU capping is not working for one Lpar only on CEC?
Hi list, We aim to cap the only active LPAR on the CEC(26 MSU) to 24 MSU. But, I'm a bit confuse when I checked the RMF CPU Activity report as below, which shows that with the interval, SYS2 was able to use up to 25 MSU. (Highlighted) So my questions are: 1. Is this because CPU capping is not working for only one active LPAR on the CEC? If it's the case, any reference? 2. Or, this is related to the WEIGHT value we used to CAP? in our case, we reference our CEC capacity is 26 MSU (about 171 MIPS), target to CAP 24 MSU (160 MIPS). . But, for client's sake, we use MIPS value as the WEIGHT,i.e 160. (as highlighted in the report). And, this mislead the Lpar scheduler that it is over 100% of the CEC. Thus, SYS2 can use as much as it needs. 3. Or any other posibility? Pls shed some light, thanks a lot!

Re: CPU capping is not working for one Lpar only on CEC?
That sounds interesting... I accept Tom's opinion that as long as the 4HRA is lower than the cap, some interval could be ran above the cap. However, in your scenario, if the 4HRA stabilze ABOVE the set defined capacity, it should not be more than 4 intervals, because the 5th interval will be the CAP value. back to our case, we'd like to cap at 24 MSU out of 26, however, when review CPU report, 80% of hourly intervals are about using 25 MSU..there's about 3% more to our expectation.

Re: CPU capping is not working for one Lpar only on CEC?
Hi Tom, thanks for reply. yes, I know the weight value is absolutely different thing to MIPS... But fact is, we do use the *number* as "Initial Processing Weight". The calculation is: we need 24 MSU out of 26, the rate is about 93%. And in terms of MIPS, our 26 MSU is about 170 MIPS. So, we put the weight to SYS2 as 160. ( 170*93%), and the dummy LP weight 10.

Re: CPU capping is not working for one Lpar only on CEC?
Response to "what am I trying to do?", I'm working on a yearly performance & capacity review, and saw many many occasions that CPU overshoot the CAP line about 3%. And I try to figure this out.

Question on EPILOG for OmegaMon
Hi, Recently our system's EPLIOG datastore (EDS) is getting full faster than before, and sometimes waning msg about EDS OUT OF SPACE went up. We configured that EDS switches trigger as either in Monday or EDS FULL. My question is how EPILOGC ( the collector) determine the active EDS is FULL? AFAIK, EDS is KSDS, and we create it with space (PRI 300 cyls, SEC 50 cyls). When I check the full EDS from 3.4, I saw it allocates 8250 trks, with 20 EXTs. Since it can has 20 EXTs, why not 21st,22nd , and so on..? Is there any limit elsewhere I should be aware?

Re: Question on EPILOG for OmegaMon
Yes, we are doing the same thing for the backup procedure, and we keep up to 12 months data. Except for we try to avoiod "EDS out of space" message EC897 coming up to console before the configured switch action on every Monday. That's why we implemented the Secondary Allocation. I thought VSAM can extend as many as 123 times, yet, it stopped when its 21st EXTENT attemption before Monday, while the volume is still with plenty of free space.

TSO command return code
Hi List, We have a job to issue HDEL from ML1(as below). However, when the last dataset is not found, the step will get rc=14. Then I tried to put TSO command 'TIME' in the last line, but still get rc=14 (when the second last HDEL dataset is not in ML1 or not found). But put HQUERY in the last line can avoid rc14. Only the same kind of command can override previous fail command's rc14? Can anyone shed some light on this?

Re: WLM and TSO
Thanks Tom, yes, I can see the same thing in my shop,too. But, when I "Browse" the rule, there's nothing inside. Take "JES" as example, when I browse it inside, there will be rules, I know, they are for different type of batch, some will be indentified by "TN", some maybe "PFG", or others Identifier. Can I think this way, it is enough that just a *TSO* as you snapped, then WLM will know TSO users's transactions...?

Re: WLM and TSO
Thanks everyone's patience, I think I understand more now. We do have an only one Service class for TSO, and in the classification rule for TSO and with default SC is TSO. WLM recognizes the workload from subsystem,too... All I thought was the *Selection rule* inside is a MUST, because I thought that's the only way WLM knows what service class for what workload.

Re: WLM TNG's what order and can you exclude?
I wonder if sub-rule in the Classification Rules will help?

WLM can not save definition to new dataset
Hi, When I try to save WLM definition to a new dataset using "FILE -> SAVE AS", then I get the following msg: DATA SET SYSU.WLM.SERVDEF.NEW.CX NOT ALLOCATED, VOLUME NOT AVAILABLE+ VOLUME NECESSARY TO SATISFY YOUR REQUEST NOT ON SYSTEM, AND CANNOT BE MOUNTED *** and Unable to allocate new data set. TSO ALLOCATE return code is: RC=12 (IWMAM079) when I change the dataset HLQ to my user ID, it works ok. Is that possible the CATALOG 's problem? cuz' they are in different UCATs. or the SMS routine's problem? Any help will be appreciated. PS: I have access to SYSU HLQ datasets, I can manually allocate the dataset in 3.2. BEST REGARDS Cobe Xu,Qing Rong (徐庆荣) Performance Analyst IBM Global Delivery Center
