An inactive CICS is almost always a test region, not worthy of critical anything. And there are often a gaggle of idle test regions asleep.
SLA's for such are nil, so paging is also of no concern. Hence my observation that spikes are rarely of concern. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Tuesday, September 01, 2009 4:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: paging in rates and real memory > CICS waking up from no activity will often exhibit a spike in paging.

This paging activity can be an issue, depending on service levels, and response requirements. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
