I don't know about DFSORT, we use Syncsort here. Syncsort uses the zIIP
automatically if it finds one. We also have CA-IDMS, which can use a
zIIP since 16.0 or so, but you have to tell it to use it.
The SMF30 processor section contains two main values: the real time
spent by a job on the zIIP processor, and a "conversion factor" that you
can use in a little formula to convert the zIIP time into equivalent CP
time. The factor is model-dependent, of course, and if you change CPU
speed dynamically z/OS is supposed to adjust the factor accordingly.
(We've never done that here, so I've never seen it actually happen)
The SMF30 doc (and probably the macro comments) describe how it works.
(I had to add support for zIIPs to our chargeback system, that's how I
know all this :-)

that would be good...
was wondering...the doc I have been reading refers to DFSORT and DB2
util's...
nothing on DFSORT enable to use zIIP on its own??
Is there some PARM
OR
CONTROL CARDS NEED TO ENABLE??

Hi Ron,
zIIP usage is recorded in type 30 records. If you have SAS I can send
you some code to dig it out and print it.

Is there an indicator if DFSORT is using the ziip engine and how much??
or
what is being put there??
