This may sound like a CICS question, but it is about the cost of doing I/O.
We have a CICS application that is doing upwards of 2000 I/O's per second to a single VSAM file. The entire CICS region is using 4.5% of a z/990 2084-309. The CICS buffer hit ratio is around 60%, after we doubled the number of buffers (can't do that too many times). The cache hit ratio is over 98%. We have run out of all tuning options, save one. Replace or remove the application. In order to do that, our management wants to know what the cost (MIPS) of processing. This is an almost real cost because our billing from our service provider is based on MIPS (rightly or wrongly). - -teD O-KAY! BLUE! JAYS! Let's PLAY!
