Hi All,

Just a question of curiosity.  In recent days I have been running some ad-hoc 
BPXBATCH jobs that executes some "cp" commands to copy a few z/OS data files 
down to a Unix directory, then a python script which uses that data.

While the job is running I can use SDSF DA and PS to see the various Unix parts 
running, but at the end of the job the shop-local IEFACTRT report in the 
JESMSGLG output only seems to account for the actual BPXBATCH CPU time and I/O 
count.  The much more significant Unix I/O and CPU values are not included in 
that report as far as I can tell.

Similarly, the JESYSMSG end-of-step output messages for the BPXBATCH step again 
only seem to account for BPXBATCH usage alone, and not any of the Unix CPU or 
memory usage.

Is there data available to an IEFACTRT routine or the JESYSMSG end-of-step 
processing to report Unix usage in a batch step at all?  Or is that only 
available in DCOLLECT output (to which I do not have and cannot get any 
permissions from local security due to zero trust rules)?

Or am I seeing the python-on-ZIIP capability here, and the CPU isn't reported 
because it is done on a ZIIP (though that would not explain the I/O count being 
so low when I know the python script does quite a lot more I/O)?

If it matters, we're on z/OS 2.5 here at a reasonably current RSU I believe, 
but I don't know the exact level.  HW is z15.

Peter
