Using SMF30 subtype 4

Calculate top 100 cpu consuming steps (Total of TCB/SRB) by program name (EXEC 
PGM=) over some period of time.
Add any appropriate filters and retry. E.G. IEBGENER - IBM code, can't do much 
about it in the short run, so ignore.

Calculate for the top 100 CPU consumed/IO (excp count).
Rank the top 100 by CPU/IO.

Start at the top of the list and work down using STROBE, GTF, other to 
determine the cause.

Code/test/promote. 

Repeat ad infinitum, until be benfits gained are exceeded by the effort 
required.

Hope this approach helps.

Subject: Where to find statistics for fetched programs?

Hi,

I got the question how frequently programmes are fetched,
and then how much CPU they consume.
This in order to put together kind of a hit parade of big CPU consumers & then 
tackle their tuning.

RMF can't help me while Monitor I and Monitor III provide long-term data 
collection about system workload and resource utilization, while covering all 
hardware and software components of the system.
Monitor II neither while it's about snapshot monitoring.

I had a look at SMF too:
RecordType4(04) (StepTermination) or 
Record Type 30 (1E) Common Address Space Work - subtype 4 (Steptotal)
is a step in the right direction, but it's on step level.
But at first glance, we are rather interested in load module fetch counts & CPU 
consumption independent of step/job.

Please route me to what-and-where-to-read. 
Which utilities or analysis programs can ease the data collection & analysis? 
MXG? Omegamon? Other?

I would appreciate you putting me on the right orbit.

JV
