Testing with dates in the future

2015-09-23 Thread Markus Haselbach
Hallo,  
in our installation we do application  testing  with special dates like end of 
month, end of year or leap day by IPling   all Lpars in a test sysplex with a 
date/time offset   which can be as big as 100 days or more.  Does someone run 
test sysplexes also this way with future dates? 
Best regards 
Markus

JES2 Exit 23

2015-05-30 Thread Markus Haselbach
Hallo,
I‘m for the first time involved with JES2 exits.  The issue is printing with 
PSF. I have to write accounting information from the Job Card on the Job Header 
Page. This will be done in PSF Header Exit APSUX01. The question is how to get 
the information there. I would like to pass the accounting field  by  putting 
it in the  JSPA in JES2 Exit 23  HASX23A. Can somebody give me a hint, how to 
get the Jobcard in HASX23A, or an other solution?
Best regards

Performance gains with LFAREA ?

2013-05-02 Thread Markus Haselbach
Hello,

we start using LFAREA (1M pages) with z/OS 1.13 and DB2 10 on z196.
From IBM I read: "Using large pages can improve performance for some 
applications by reducing the overhead of dynamic address translation".
We wonder how to measure  this performance improvement. What we're trying now 
is measuring and comparing CPU usage/ SQL with and without 1M pages. 
Does someone have experience with this performance improvement and can anybody 
advice me on what should/could  be measured?

kind regards
Markus

Highly used Coupling Facility blocks Sysplex

2012-11-13 Thread Markus Haselbach
We had an outage cause by an overloaded Coupling Facility. It’s in a parallel 
sysplex with eight Images and z/OS 1.13 RSU1206 and DB2 10.
All images are on Z196, also the CF, with CFCC 17. 
What happened is that a DB2 CF structure (a group buffer pool)
was flooded by applications doing tablespace scan. A lot of  
directory reclaims occurred. The CF was not able to handle this high
number of GBP requests which resulted in increased CPU activity for 
this structure. The CPU Utilization of the CF got up to 75%. The application 
has requested more and more GBP entries which slowed
down the whole sysplex.   Also applications using other structures in the CF 
had been nearly blocked.  
Did some experience similar problems with overloaded CF’s ?
Brgds
