They should be below Db2 Engine in the hierarchy…

IRLM should be in SYSSTC.

DBM1, MSTR, DIST should be in Importance 1, CPU Critical.

DDF transactions should be Importance 2 on downwards.

Right now you have DDF work fighting with Db2 – in whatever shaped boxing ring.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] WLM and DDF enclaves
Hi fellow listers,

Newcomer here, so... I hope my question makes sense.

We have some amount of business critical distributed online transactions, 
running on enclaves into a Db2 zOS subsystem. Our current WLM configuration 
assigns them a specific service class with importance 1 and a velocity goal.

We have been observing quite poor performance index for this service class (and 
awful response times for those transactions) whenever the lpar shows high cpu 
usage (on or around 100%) and specially when capping is on. Performance index 
stays between 1 and 2 most of the time, with peaks over 40.

From what I have read so far, I understand velocity goals can be tricky for 
short-term processes, and that gets worse with fewer logical processors. Which 
happens to be our case, last year we brought in a z16 with less capacity and 
processors than the previous machine.

So, in your experience, could be a good idea switching to a response time goal?

Any insights would be most appreciated.

Jaime
