 Not too weird.  In one case of which I know, a whale with an onerous 
 government charter arranged to be swallowed by a minnow with a much 
 more favorable charter.  Of course the acquiring company got the 
 rights to the whale's trademarks and used them.  By arrangement, the 
 officers of the vanishing company became officers of the merged 
 company.  Etc.  And the general public hardly knew.

Ron,

Since you are using VTOF, I am guessing that your input files are VB and 
if they are indeed VB pay attention to the matching key field positions 
you have specified and correct it. You need to realize that for VB files 
that the actual data starts from position 5.  It would be nice if you 
specify the product(DFSORT/Syncsort) you are using too

Well, I can disagree with that on a practical level to some extent.
Upgrading memory can sometimes, cost wise, be more like needing so much
more electric power that the power company needs to run a higher capacity
line to your business and you must then install better / new equipment to
support it. It might be cheaper to just find out how to decrease your power
(memory) requirements. Perhaps by doing something differently.

Re: Limit number of frames of real storage per job

2015-08-06 Thread Cheryl Watson
Hi John,

You might consider changing modifying your stance when it comes to the z13 
processors.  Although the z13 actually has a slower chip, the processor is 
faster (partly) because of how they utilize memory.  In the z13, IBM has 
lowered the price of storage so that you can get about three times the amount 
of storage for the same price as you're spending today.  And, in fact, when 
going to the z13, you should consider doing exactly that!  Get triple the 
memory you're using today (for the same price).  The CPU savings will 
definitely be worth it.

I agree with Barry's statement about memory (yes, John, you remembered 
correctly).  And if you study how IBM runs their benchmarks, their results are 
obtained by running the models with no constraints, such as no paging.  So if 
you want to get similar results, it's worth getting enough memory so that there 
are no constraints.

Best regards,
Cheryl

I have not looked at the latest info but I still believe there is a  
*LIMIT* to the amount of MS that one can buy per box. I also think  
there is a limit to MVS MS. I don't recall what it is but (they did  
increase it) there is still a practical limitation as to MVS MS.
I am not suggesting that the subject is correct but realistically MVS  
can only handle so much.

Re: Limit number of frames of real storage per job

2015-08-06 Thread Andrew Rowley
I have seen the advice to avoid garbage collection in batch from IBMers 
before. I don't understand it, and I am curious to know where it is 
coming from. I doubt it is endorsed by the JVM developers. I suspect it 
might just be that suddenly we can measure memory management overhead, 
where it is more difficult in other languages.


Garbage collection is Java's way of returning unused memory for reuse. 
You could reduce memory management overhead of a batch C++ program by 
removing all delete statements, and increasing the virtual storage 
available until it never ran out. You COULD, but no-one would recommend 
it as good practice. Overallocating the heap to avoid garbage collection 
is basically the same thing.


Applications tend to evolve and grow over time. If you deliberately set 
up your application to avoid GC, you may be in for a rude shock when the 
application grows and one day GC is triggered.


There can also be performance advantages from GC. GC moves objects 
together in storage, making it much more likely that your application 
data will be in the processor caches. If GC keeps your data in processor 
cache it will perform much better than if it's scattered across a GB of 
storage.


On the other points:

Stess testing - memory management is usually an important factor in 
application performance, so I'm not sure how valid any stress test that 
avoided garbage collection would be. (Processor cache effects etc. as 
much as GC overhead).


Memory leaks - this applies to any language - if the memory isn't 
released, of course you need enough virtual storage to support it 
between restarts.


Page outs - paging Java out is very different to other applications due 
to the GC memory access pattern. Yes, any inactive application will be 
subject to page out (maybe? I have seen some information about page 
fixed pages for Java - I don't know anything about it though). What you 
don't want is portions of the heap paged out from an active application. 
When Java performs a GC it is going to touch every page in the heap* - 
so if you have 200MB paged out and an innocent 50 byte memory allocation 
triggers GC it has to wait for 200MB of pages to be paged in one by one 
before the allocation completes (assuming Java/zOS don't recognize and 
optimize this page-in pattern). This is different to other languages 
where pages will be paged in one at a time as required, and only if they 
have active data.


I'm not saying to economize on real storage, on the contrary. The 
original poster asked about testing Java applications with a shortage of 
real storage - my response is that the performance will probably be 
unacceptable and it's not worth testing - just make sure you DO have 
enough real storage for the application.


On this side track of heap size and garbage collection my advice is:
1) Do not fear garbage collection. It is part of a normal Java 
application. It does need to be carefully tuned for response time 
sensitive applications, but for these applications any paging of the 
Java heap will likely be disastrous.
2) Do not allocate a heap so large that you risk paging instead of GC. 
Paging is far worse than GC for Java performance.
n.b. the definition of a too large heap is a moving target. I would 
say it is enough storage inactive for long enough that parts of the heap 
might be paged out. It would be unusual for a few hundred MB in a normal 
batch job to be an issue.


Regards

Andrew Rowley
Black Hill Software

* My understanding of what happens. I'm happy to be corrected by someone 
with more knowledge of GC strategies and internals.

I agree with Andrew Rowley's advice so long as it's properly understood to

Regarding making the Java heap too large, there are some use cases --
Java batch, notably -- where you really do want to make the heap too
large, or at least slightly too large. If the JVM is transitory, and if
you can avoid any/all garbage collection during the transitory life of the
program, that might be a perfectly wonderful, optimal outcome. It
depends. Another potential scenario is stress testing, perhaps during the
initial phases, when you're trying to understand the performance and
scalability characteristics of an application before allowing garbage
collection to interfere with your assessments. (Maybe you don't have the
best measurement tools?) Or you're simply trying to determine how much is
too much, so you start with too much in your testing.

Maybe you have a defective application that's got a memory leak, and
garbage collection eventually cannot accomplish anything. The application
instance then abends. But to avoid restarting the application instance too
frequently you throw too much memory at the application instance(s) until
you and/or the vendor can fix the leak. (Been there.) (It depends on your

 Not too weird.  In one case of which I know, a whale with an onerous 
 government charter arranged to be swallowed by a minnow with a much 
 more favorable charter.  Of course the acquiring company got the 
 rights to the whale's trademarks and used them.  By arrangement, the 
 officers of the vanishing company became officers of the merged 
 company.  Etc.  And the general public hardly knew.

 Gulp,
 gil

Re: Limit number of frames of real storage per job

2015-08-06 Thread John Mattson
As I remember from Barry Merrill...  memory should be treated like
electricity or plumbing.  You should never run out.  To put it another way,
if you are doing physical paging, buy more memory.  It is cheap by
comparison to the I/O and cycles needed for physical paging.   (Hopefully
this has not changed since the last time I was luck enough to hear Barry
speak, and hopefully I paraphrased him correctly.)

RMM OAM and 3494

2015-08-06 Thread R.S.

I have noticed discrepancy between RMM db and OAM + Library Manager db.
In RMM I see the tape S1 as SCRATCH, but OAM claims it is PRIVATE. 
3494 interface also claims the volume is in PRIVATE category.

What should I do to reconcile the status of the tape?

The tape should be scratch.

Any clue?

Re: RMM OAM and 3494

2015-08-06 Thread Vernooij, CP (ITOPT1) - KLM
With CA-1 I have the option to synchronize the status of a tape or group of 
tapes from the CA-1 TMC to the TCDB, which will also update the status in the 
library database. Does RMM have a similar function?
Otherwise you can update the tape in the TCDB with ISMF, by setting it to 
SCRTCH there. This will also update the library database.
