David (et al) I have found a sentence that might be a pointer to the reason for the low number of samples.
On page 2.16 first paragraph it says 5. One may observe the wait-state (W) bit in sample data being set to one for dedicated CPUs, or for nondedicated CPUs in some unusual situations. For nondedicated CPUs, time spent in the wait state is not considered part of the process time and, thus, the actual sampling interval may appear to be longer than the specified one. This CPU is not dedicated and the activities on this LPAR are very very low. Would the above sentence explain a reduction of samples from the expected 30000 to 32? Opinions, idea, suggestions anyone? -- Martin Pi_cap_CPU - all you ever need around MWLC/SCRT/CMT in z/VSE more at http://www.picapcpu.de
