Ron, Originally DBA complained about paging, & how it reduced workflow (in our monitor).
I had a look to find that when the big sort jobs, some also use DB2 after/before the sort, run at the the same time, the demand paging goes up. The chart was just a rough drawing to show how the demand paging looks like, fairly flat, with a few big spikes a month. 60+K track is the size of some of the DS being sorted. These jobs run regularly, but the paging issue seems to happen when some of the big sort ones run at the same time. After IPL, the slot% is 0, 2 days later is 1.5%, then a few days later may jump to 10% at 2230 when the sorts get to run at the same time, remain roughly the same, then a week later jump to 16%, ...., then a few days later jump to 25% (at 2345 due to sorts).
