It looked like - in some data I had last year and the year before - Master
Scheduler Address Space REAL memory was growing. Maybe related. And
"looked like" because there isn't an accurate REAL memory number in Type
30 SMF.

Jake,

To diagnose this you need to ensure that you have SQA tracking enabled in
your DIAGxx PARMLIB member. This tells z/OS to create "breadcrumb" control
blocks that track all allocations of SQA. I believe that most z/OS sites
run with both SQA and CSA tracking enabled.

If CSA/SQA tracking is enabled, then the system creates a GQE control
block that describes the  allocated chunk of CSA/SQA and links it to a
CAUB control block that describes the owner of the storage.

To analyze the SQA usage, you need a program that processes the GQEs and
CAUBs.

Most (if not all) z/OS monitor software products have this feature, and I
think you can also use IPCS VSMDATA to show the information if you are
without a commercial tool.

Note that if CSA/SQA tracking is dynamically activated it will only track
new CSA/SQA allocations.

Subject: Master Address Space - High E-SQA

Hello All,

Recently in our shop we were seeing a spike in E-SQA. It showed that
master address space were at 13.6mb which was considered little on higher
side. We also found a users job was also eating more E-SQA. After
cancelling user job we got a relief of 5 percentage. Are there any eye
catchers or any other way to find the module or programs that influence
master address space E-SQA consumption.
