Have you tried contacting Velocity Software to ask them with assistance? They will generally lend a hand with performance related issues, especially where it relates to using their software.

I have recently taken a job working in the Performance and Capacity Mgmt area of the company, but used to do z/Linux support (and AIX support). Our setup is odd, they moved z/Linux support to reporting to the AIX area about two years ago. I hadn't had much time prior to that to really learn the guts of Velocity. Now that I've moved areas, I'm hoping I can get some help on where else to look in Velocity to find some indicators of what might be the problem with a particular applications on z/Linux. Some background...there is 1 production guest (wasp50) running all our internal WebSphere applications (3 appb servers on the guest and 5G memory). The test workload is split between 2 z/Linux guests with 2 app servers on each. What is happening is that our Claims area is running a batch process through z/Linux twice a day and as you can see from the numbers below, it really cranks the system. So far, I can dig to the point that it's a java process that's using up most the time, but are there other screens in particular that can help me point the developers in the right direction as to what they can do to make this process run better (although the good news is it won't run during our prime shift once it's in production)? I have access to the browser based screens for Velocity, but could also talk to the zVM admin to have him look at stuff through the mainframe screens. At this point, the AIX area is pushing to move everything off of z/Linux and to AIX because it will 'run better' there and they've done a good job of convincing management. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
