Mixed cobol ewnvironment and Ent. Cobol
We have a mixed Cobol environment involving VS Cobol 2 programs compiled with RESident. We do not want to recompile tons of programs and considering the option to relink the Cobol load modulwe to replace the stub module (igzebst) with an updated one. My questions are: * will relinked Cobol programs be callable by Cobol 5 programs under CICS? * Will these programs act the same as before the relink (same results)? * what level of testing should we expect after the relink, if done?

Limit number of frames of real storage per job
Hi I would like to ask more experienced sysprogs regarding real storage manager. Is it possible to limit number of frames of real storage on job level? The MEMLIMIT/REGION parameters limit virtual memory of whole address space however I would like to limit the only real memory while the virtual memory remain as it is. The reason why I need it; I would like to test the performance of a (Java) application in case of lack of frames of real storage. In case of shortage of real storage a paging is expected. And I would like to simulate this situation to see impact a performance of the Java application. I have found MCCAFCTH (defined in IEAOPTxx) but this seems to be LPAR (not job) specifics and moreover this defines length of available frame queue (not number of frames per job). Thx for hints.

Re: Limit number of frames of real storage per job
MCCAFCTH is not applicable in this case. You are correct that this is a LPAR level control. The only out of the box solution I can think of is to run the job V=R' . See VRREGN in SYS1.PARMLIB(IEASYS00). NOTE: An IPL is*REQUIRED* to change this value. Of course, you could write a driver program to do what you want. i.e. obtain the real storage and then invoke JAVA. JZOS *may* be of some help here.

Re: Limit number of frames of real storage per job
Your test cannot be done by limiting the real storage of an individual job. Paging is done by the system in response to the real storage usage of the entire system. If you want to test the Java application is a storage constrained environment, you must make the system storage constraint. This can be done by CONFIGing some storage offline, which you must have made reconfigurable.

Re: Limit number of frames of real storage per job
I'm not sure if you can artificially limit the frames available, but I would expect that the effect of paging on a Java application would be BAD. Very bad. Java needs to perform regular garbage collection. Garbage collection is likely to touch most of the frames in the address space. It is designed to be fast, but obviously waiting for a page in will delay it. Waiting for multiple page-ins (I'm not sure whether z/OS is smart enought to recognise the pattern and bring pages back in before they are required) will be very slow. If other pages from your application are paged out to allow pages to be brought in it's even worse because they will probably need to be paged straight back in again i.e. thrashing. I wouldn't bother testing - I would just say that sufficient memory is required to execute in real storage. Another consequence of this behaviour is that you should not make the Java heap too large. You want the heap small enough that garbage collection happens often enough to keep those pages in storage. If you have a massive heap that is not collected for a long time and z/OS pages some of it out, the eventual garbage collection will be very slow. Actually one way to test might be to make the Java heap larger than real storage, then create and delete objects to consume it...

I have several 3278's for free. Loco Poland. I mean the terminal itself + keyboard, but CRT display shouldn't be a problem in any location on Earth. BTW: regular PC keyboard (with DIN or miniDIN plug, NOT USB one) is compatible with the 3278, the only issue is another plug (RJ6 for 3278). -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- Tre tej wiadomoci moe zawiera informacje prawnie chronione Banku przeznaczone wycznie do uytku subowego adresata.

Re: Limit number of frames of real storage per job

Is it possible to limit number of frames of real storage on job level? The MEMLIMIT/REGION parameters limit virtual memory of whole address space however I would like to limit the only real memory while the virtual memory remain as it is. As others have told you it is at the system level. One way to this is to use a program to pagefix a large amount of frames to a utility job and then you can cause paging for your test job. Of course this should be done on a sandbox lpar.
