Of course, this all assumes that customers have workplace access to the internet - not always true in some Asian Countries. Sending a URL to these customers to download info from the internet is pretty much the same as saying this page intentionally left blank. The assumption the whole world is

Re: LPAR Capping

Lately I am seeing a very large difference between the LPAR BUSY TIME PERC and the MVS BUSY TIME PERC fields in the RMF CPU Activity report. The difference is over 20% at peak hours. This was not the case before I started using CF capping. The CF LPAR used to guard MSUs has the highest weight on

You're right Ted. In fact, I really dont want to share CPs with the CF. However, the current soft-papping mechanism only allows to soft-cap an LPAR to a certain amount of MSUs. At first I used soft-cap. Then I noticed we encounter situations where one LPAR is being soft-capped, while all the

Initially, neither program was authorized. I was using the ARCRPEXT exit, which, I believe, is not authorized(AC=0), That's a non-sequitur. The exit routine (typically) is NOT linked AC(1) because that is only relevant for job step programs. The exit routine must be loaded from an

Ted, That's not quite right. RMF CPU busy is 1-(waittime/interval). There is no MVS Busy field: it is actually CPU Wait Time that gets accumulated and CPU busy is calculated from Wait Time. If a Logical Instruction Processor (LIP) is pre-empted, then it is not in a wait state and there is no
