Hello, We have an application on the web that uses MQ Series to maintain data on an ADABAS database using NATURAL programs.
We currently have a trigger queue on the mainframe that executes a CICS transaction that kicks off a COBOL program that logs into NATURAL, passes data to the stack, and kicks off a NATURAL program. The COBOL program is such that it has to logon and logoff of NATURAL for every transaction. This is a heavily used system and we feel the excessive logons/logoffs are causing a bottleneck of sorts. And there is a business requirement that a response be received on the web side within 30 elapsed seconds. We are missing this goal on occasion and would like to make some improvements. The user id/password for each of these transactions is ALWAYS the same--no matter what user submits the transaction. Because this is the case, we thought there may be a way to always be logged on and, thus, eliminate excessive logons/logoffs. We found that there were over 75,000 logons/logoffs via the CICS transaction this past Monday. We also experienced a ton of slowdowns (for a multitude of reasons including the fact that we are reaching the upper limits of the current box). We will be getting a new box with loads of horsepower within four months but we need to see if we can improve performance between now and then. Any suggestions are welcome!! Thanks, Raymond C.
