Their environment experiences huge CPU spikes during it's month end processing (4-6 days of 95-100%, where normally CPU is around 40%). They are using Focus to produce a large number of reports from databases with several million records in each. Before trying VMRMSVM the operators where busy adjusting relative shares during month end to keep the VSE nightly batch cycle from running over, while also trying to keep the Focus machines processing to meet their deadline. We tried various combinations of relative and absolute shares, but were never able to get the right mix to meet everyone's deadlines. The problems were: month end started on different days of the week (each day has it's unique processing), the amount of data being processed varied by hundred's of thousands records, and the mix of Focus runs would change (quarter end, year end, etc) Getting a larger z9 or using capacity on demand (on a monthly basis) were too costly to do, especially with the much lower utilization during the rest of the month.

Re: Bill Munson's Email @ Brown Brothers
Hi Bill, Thanks for inviting me to the last MVMUA meeting. I really enjoyed being there. Although I still don’t have anything, going to these meetings helps me keep up with what’s going on in the z/VM world. This is tough, as not actually working with z/VM, as time goes by your skills become less relevant and therefore less likely an employer will pick you up. Attached is my resume in MS/Word format. Should you hear of anything or know of anyone with whom you might have an in, please feel free to send that person my resume. It certainly would be appreciated. Boy did I get sand bagged by Sirius and TDA. Well that’s life.

For DASD and tape, the MITIME value comes from the device itself. Note that for 2nd level systems, the missing interrupt handler is turned OFF by default!

FW: logoff/force pending due to incomplete logon here
I don't know if others have seen this behaviour, but I've seen discussion of logoff/force pending recently and found nothing similar in a quick internet search. I had the HCP361E message for a user and incidentally found that I had a logical session that I had started to logon here with, but hadn't actually typed the password. Some time after I had started the session transfer, the user had been logged off, and was apparently not able to complete the logoff because of the incomplete logon attempt. If I typed the password in on the logon here password prompt area, the logon fails with logoff/force pending, and clears the status. If I just hit enter at the password prompt or type something invalid, the login fails and also clears the status. If I just let the screen sit there, the logoff/force pending stays. I haven't tried resetting the LDEV on the off chance that the system won't like it much. I may try it second level, but not this week. (zVM 5.4.0 Service level 0802) Is there a query command that might show a terminal that is halfway through a logon?
