I saw those commands, we have them at z/OS 1.4 (but not restartable AS). I have seen some information on tuning via parms in IGDSMSxx but how can you tune if you can't see how it's being used? I was hoping for displays similar to catalog caching stats.
Ken Porowski -----Original Message----- Clark Kidd There were a lot of enhancements made to PDSE in z/OS 1.6, including support for a restartable address space (there will now be address spaces named SMSPDSE and SMSPDSE1). If you have access to the SHARE proceedings, look for session 3028 (PDSE Topics) given at the last SHARE in Boston. This documents several commands related to diagnosis and tuning: V SMS,PDSE,MONITOR V SMS,PDSE,ANALYSIS V SMS,PDSE,FREELATCH In the above commands, you can use PDSE1 rather than PDSE to refer to the other (restartable) address space. The System Commands manual has some information on these, and you can find even more detailed information in Chapter 15 (PDSE Diagnostic Aids) of the manual DFSMSdfp Diagnosis. This probably is not all of the performance information we would like, but it is a start.
