We have a customer running on a z800 in a capped LPAR.
We just converted them from z/OS 1.12 to z/OS 1.13 and have found that 
performance has degraded.

They are looking at a list of data sets - approx 98,000 under a HLQ, say ABCD 
with the Initial view  set to 2. SPACE

On z/OS 1.12 this list was retrieved in under 10 seconds
On z/OS 1.13 this list took 20 Minutes to return.

If the Initial View is changed to 1. Volumes
then the performance is much the same.

The view is paged right to get the space values, on the 1.12 system it comes 
back in seconds
                                                                                
       on the 1.13 system it takes minutes to come back.

Many of the 98,000 data sets are on TAPE or migrated.

Anyone recognise a feature that came with z/OS 1.13 that might cause this 
change in behaviour?

Anthony,

I'm guessing that the catalog display feature is dragging you down. Uncheck that option on the 3.4 entry panel and I bet your 3.4 flies again. If you want the catalogs, then make sure you're using VLF caching for your catalogs.

Tom Conley
