Re: VLF Caching

2014-11-25 Thread Tidy, David (D)
I had thought (from 
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/MartinPacker/entry/lla_and_measuring_its_use?lang=en
 ) that the SMF records did not really tell us very much about the tuning. But 
it could have been that I didn't really understand them

So we used the healthcheck iteratively to watch the trimmed age of the 
exceptions, and arrived at 64Mb. At 4MB the trimmed age was 1 day, at 32MB 11 
days, at 48MB 30 days. At 64MB all our sysplexes seem not to be trimming within 
60 days any more.

That was a while ago, and we are just starting to look at the IGGCAS class 
which has also been tripping the healthcheck exception (at 1 day).

 128M is fairly common, I believe.

 It's not necessarily the case that a bigger size is better. The more 
 data that is cached, the more likely you are to be able to retrieve 
 from the cache (which is a good thing) but the longer it may take to 
 locate the data (which is not a good thing).

 In the distant past some found that sizes of 256M and above were 
 detrimental. But no one that I know of actually did any analysis to 
 try to figure out why. The guess was that the performance decrease 
 correlated to the number of objects that then were cached.

 It has probably been well over 10 years since I last heard any 
 discussion of this; I have no idea if what was seen was typical or 
 one-off, or if it still behaves that way.

Thank you.

I can tell you that 16MB is TOO SMALL. And so far, in our shop, 32MB is too 
small.

The diminishing returns problem is going to be interesting to find. I know that 
you want to cache hi-use modules. But, if the module is beyond a certain size, 
you may not want to cache it - DASD fetch may be better.

So, if you have sufficient cache, you can get all of your stuff in there w/o 
hitting the 10% headroom issue. And if the speed of XMEM is hi enough (based 
on CPU avail)...

But, if cache is being used by all large modules, you can get into a cache 
thrash situation (old APAR/PTF for where it would
loop) -- Fastest way I know to get the situation (it can be done with a mix...).

We have noticed that at 16MB, we BURN MSUs in VLF TRIM (sorry, forgot the 
module name).

So another aspect of tuning is setting the time lower to get things to be 
trim-able sooner. But, that can have diminishing returns So it may need to 
be set higher (sigh).

Enter the EXITs. Now you have to have someone in your shop that knows ALC and 
management can give clear guidance to rules so they can be effected... (sigh).

How about IBM and CA play nice and get CA the right stuff so they can fix PMO 
and QuickFetch for PDSEs (I can't believe I'm writing this!!).

Later,
Steve Thompson

Re: Sort to show differences in a 2-file match

2014-11-18 Thread Tidy, David (D)
Hi Billy,

Typically for the first (records in B, not in A), I do the same sort of thing 
including A in the sortin concatenation twice, and B once, thus getting rid of 
all duplicate records by discarding all of A and the matches in B (based on 
full record length).

For the records in A with matching keys to B but different data, that seems 
trickier. Firstly you want to discard all the A records with unique keys by 
concatenating A ahead of B in sortin , and using FIRSTDUP (and keylength only) 
to select only the A records which match B keywise.
Then a third step to take that output concatenated ahead of B, with the NODUPS 
option (based on full record length).  

Then finally concatenate the third step output with the first step output. 

... at least I think that meets your new objective ...

Re: Question on WRITE statements in ACS and Automation

2014-10-21 Thread Tidy, David (D)
Hi Lizette,

Just cleaning up some mails, and I came across this.

There is a message revision table in Netview that could be used. I have used it 
in a temporary way when I issue a command from system automation that only 
generates ouput in a joblog - in my case the revision table is:

UPON ( JOBNAME = 'DFSKERN' )
  REVISE(Y AUTOMATE)   

Then I activate a message table that triggers an exec to write each message it 
sees from the jobname to a global variable stem (incrementing an index), and 
asynchronously pick up the output later. 

Of course in your case, the message table processing could be much simpler, and 
permanent (I only do the set-up to retrieve the data I have triggered, and undo 
it afterwards).

Subject: Question on WRITE statements in ACS and Automation

I have a friend who is at z/OS V1.13

He asked me an  interesting question that I am thinking of opening a Share
requirement on.  Let me know what you think

When you create ACS code you can put WRITE statements into the process for
clarification.  Is it possible to capture those WRITEs in an automation
product, OPS/MVS, AFOPER, Tivoli, and action the message?

If a user is creating a dataset and using an invalid DSN, I could put a
write statement in the code that says 

WRITE MYACS001I Invalid DSN for the storage group requested.  

Then if it went to SYSLOG I could capture it and send an email to the
storage team for review. 

Or if my user was requesting way to much space for a specify storage pool, I
could do something similar.


So, it would be nice, in my opinion, to be able to create an event
notification that an automation tool could capture and then perform some
action (i.e. email the storage team)

I understand that I can redirect to a different pool and provide other
actions within ACS code.

But since a lot of logging goes directly to the DFHSM logs or SYSOUT DDs, I
have to have someone manually review to identify what is going on.


Another example, there is an ARC0019I message that indicates the CELLS are
too small for DFHSM.  It is only in the SYSOUT DDs.  I will be opening a
SHARE requirement to be able to redirect these types of messages to SYSLOG
so that an automation tool can send a notification to the storage team.



The only way I see of doing it is to filter the output of the task to find
the ACS code WRITE statements or filter the DFHSM SYSOUT DDs.


Any thoughts are welcome.  And if you have any other messages or functions
in DFHSM that might need redirection, let me know.

Thanks

I think the problem with the ACS WRITE statements is, that the output does not

In any case, unless both the alias and the data set name resolve to

Re: ACS routine imbed/include function?

2013-07-15 Thread Tidy, David (D)
Hi,

What we do to get around this is to use ISPF skeletons (with a bit of REXX 
involved) which we run as part of a two stop batch process using Naviquest. 
Within the REXX, we build a table of our DB2 systems, and then the skeleton has 
)DOT constructions to loop around building those 15 WHEN clauses in a standard 
way. The first step works out the next suffix for the routine, builds it into a 
work dataset, and sure SUPERC to compare to the existing (current) routine 
(which we review to make sure there is no unexpected change). Having reviewed 
that, the next step copies into the production ACS routines dataset, and does 
the translate and validate. The activation is then done manually after the two 
jobs are run.

We don't really have local content, although there are a little extra )SEL type 
inclusions by sysplex in the infrastructure part of the skeleton (the ACS code 
is thus in some way standard across all our life-cycle sysplexes).

Bingo! This is what I had stored many years ago somewhere in migrated memory: 
the COPYFILT macro. It is not completely automatic, but it takes only one 
command to fire the automation of updating multiple tables in multiple routines.
I will have a look at it again to see if it helps me this time.

A function like the FILTERDD would even be more convenient.

And,by the way, if someone is making up a wishlist for ACS routines: 
subroutines would be very helpful and also a substring function (find and 
replace), like in: when (mgmtclas eq B2DA)set mgtmclas = B1DA. This 
now takes 15 WHEN clauses for each of the  values.

have, e.g. for dsname- of volser-filtlists used in more than one routine. 
However, there are not many enhancements in ACS routines the last decades, so 
I expect this will remain a wish. 

You've got my curiousity turned on and I searched my *ss off since your first 
post! It was indeed a long time I saw any announcement for ACS enhancements if 
at all. 

But then I wonder if you were thinking about 'COPYFILT macro: COPYLIB facility 
for FILTLISTs'. Granted that is for initial SMS setup.

On the otherside, I wonder if you were refering to FILTERDD in DFDSS. There you 
can probably concatenate at your leisure...

Hmmm, perhaps time for a Share thing? Think of it: one set of Include/exclude 
for DB2 folks, another for other dbas, etc.

Groete / Greetings
Elardus Engelbrecht
