Re: WLM : multiple periods not recommended for batch - why?
interesting topic.. I also wonder on if those service classes that are not active (no rules,no workload assigned) will cause WLM overhead? If no, then the suggested total number of sc/periods are for active ones only.. any document supporting this? -- Cobe Xu Best Regards --- z/OS Performance Capacity Analyst z/OS System Programmer Email: cob...@gmail.com --- -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: IDCAMS APF auth question.
Hi. z/OS DFSMS Access Method Services for Catalogs: Chapter 4. ALLOCATE: Access method services identifies the verb name ALLOCATE and attaches the terminal monitor program (TMP) that runs Time Sharing Option (TSO) commands in the background. The ALLOCATE command *should be used only to allocate new data sets to the job step*. If you use ALLOCATE through access method services for anything else (the handling of SYSOUT data sets, for example), you can get unpredictable results. Refer to z/OS TSO/E Programming Guide for additional information on using this command. Table 2 on page 29 separates the parameters to that you should use under access method services from the parameters that cause unpredictable results. HTH..

Omegamon II for MVS- Pass alerts to console
Hi List, I want to pass Omon/MVS threshold or alert message to operator console (or maybe syslog), in order to trigger some automation actions. I've configured Enable WTO messages from default NO to YES and rebuilt the RTE.. However, I can not see alerts message in console.

Re: CPU capping is not working for one Lpar only on CEC?
That sounds interesting... I accept Tom's opinion that as long as the 4HRA is lower than the cap, some interval could be ran above the cap. However, in your scenario, if the 4HRA stabilze ABOVE the set defined capacity, it should not be more than 4 intervals, because the 5th interval will be the CAP value. back to our case, we'd like to cap at 24 MSU out of 26, however, when review CPU report, 80% of hourly intervals are about using 25 MSU..there's about 3% more to our expectation. On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 12:25 PM, Al Sherkow a...@sherkow.com wrote: It is possible for the 4HRA of an LPAR to go above the defined capacity limit. This is because the limit goes on typically after four hours of your workload getting bigger and bigger. Eventually the 4HRA exceeds the defined capacity and the cap goes on. As the four hour rolling average goes forward, the values from 4 hours ago, then 3h45m ago, then 3h30m ago are removed from the calculation of that average, and values at the capping level are going into the calculation, so the 4HRA may keep rising for a few intervals. It may even stabilize above the set defined capacity. Back in 2004 I coined the term bonus MSUs for these MSUs that are above the defined capacity value. When SCRT processes your SMF data, if the 4HRA in the data is above the defined capacity value SCRT ignores those bonus MSUs. The TsCs of sub-capacity WLC indicate you will not be charged for more MSUs than the Defined Capacity Value. Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.

Re: CPU capping is not working for one Lpar only on CEC?
Hi Tom, thanks for reply. yes, I know the weight value is absolutely different thing to MIPS... But fact is, we do use the *number* as Initial Processing Weight. The calculation is: we need 24 MSU out of 26, the rate is about 93%. And in terms of MIPS, our 26 MSU is about 170 MIPS. So, we put the weight to SYS2 as 160. ( 170*93%), and the dummy LP weight 10. On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 2:15 AM, Kelman, Tom thomas.kel...@commercebank.comwrote: Cobe, You do have me a little confused when you talk about capping at 24 MSUs and setting the WEIGHT (which I assume is the LPAR weighting factor) to 160. These are different. Also, the LPAR weighting factor is just a relative number. It does not relate to MIPS. As far as the LPAR going over the cap in any given interval, that can occur as long as the MSU four hour rolling average (4HRA) remains below the cap. It is when the 4HRA hits the cap that you'll see the peaks chopped off. Once the 4HRA falls below the cap the system can once again spike up above that. If you have a cap set, and you are on sub-capacity pricing, IBM's software charges for the sub-capacity priced software will be based on the highest 4HRA for the month, but will never exceed the cap. Actually, if you are not using sub-capacity pricing for your software, I can't think of any reason to set a cap.

Re: CPU capping is not working for one Lpar only on CEC?
Response to what am I trying to do?, I'm working on a yearly performance capacity review, and saw many many occasions that CPU overshoot the CAP line about 3%. And I try to figure this out.

I believe that WLM does the calculation to account for the possible MINUS 3%. If you were trying to cap at 100 MSUs and you only got 97 MSUs while paying for 100 you would be upset.

Re: SMF30 record length
Thanks a lot, Barry. I read this part of note in MXG sourcelib,too. It is very useful. However, I'm a little bit confuced when I sum up CPITCBTM CPISRBTM by date for the 2 lpars (one is DDCONS=YES, the other is NO), the result is not what I expected to see: 1. The lpar with DDCONS=NO, then total CPITCBTM+CPISRBTM approachs 0. because all the jobs should bypass DD consolidations. But what I got is, still many many jobs spend a few seconds on CPITCBTM. So, how to explain? 2. The lpar with DDCONS=YES, should have much bigger value for CPITCBTM+CPISRBTM than the other lpar. But in fact the difference varies from 100 seconds to 350 seconds per day. regarding the EMPTYEXCPSEC(SUPPRESS) , we're still in 1.9. On Mon, Dec 21, 2009 at 5:40 AM, Barry Merrill ba...@mxg.com wrote: In 1987, Diane Eppestine at Southwestern Bell saw that whenever their SAR job (a SYSOUT processing subsystem) was cancelled, the CPU went to 100% busy for 30-60 minutes. Instruction traces found the loop was in DD Consolidation. SAR dynamically allocates a DD for each SYSOUT file it processes; by the end of the week that step had over 75,000 DD entries! DD consolidation reads the first DD segment, scans the remaining 74,999 segments for a match, reads the second and scans the remaining 74,998 for a match, etc. etc., etc., all at DPRTY=FE! In response to Diane's discovery, Bill Richardson, IBM SMF Development, subsequently provided a new SMF option, DDCONS(NO), specified in SYS1.PARMLIB(SMFPRMxx), so that you can disable this very unwise (in my opinion) algorithm, and thereby eliminate its wasted CPITCBTM and CPISRBTM (MXG names for SMF30ICU and SMF30ISB, the Initiator CPU time that occurs before Step Program Load and after Step Program Termination). All of those empty SYSOUT DD segments can now be removed in z/OS 1.10 with the EMPTYEXCPSEC(SUPPRESS) option: 1. APAR Identifier OA29582 adds new EMPTYEXCPSEC(SUPPRESS) option in SYS1.PARMLIB to suppress all empty EXCP entries. The option prevents the creation of null segments in SMF 30 records for SMS Candidate Volumes, and could significantly reduce the size of your step and job termination records, especially if your site has a default of (SYSDA,5) for every allocation!! The MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference, under the SMFPRMxx parmlib parameter definitions, EMPTYEXCPSEC: SUPRESS specifies that the system suppress the creation of empty EXCP sections. Empty sections can be the result of non-dataset allocations, such as DD DUMMY, or for spool file allocations (i.e., SYSIN, SYSOUT JES DDs), or for non-allocated candidate volumes in the SMS storage group. One MICS site reported a 28% reduction in CPU time with removal of all of their empty EXCP segments. New EMPTYEXCPSEC option in PARMLIB is z/OS 1.10 only. While EMPTYEXCPSEC option is documented in the z/OS 1.9 SMF manual in Section 13.34.2.7 (Execute Channel Program (EXCP) Section) of z/OS MVS System Management Facilities (SMF) Document SA22-7630-16, for z/OS 1.9, testing on a z/OS 1.9 system resulted in IEE945I UNRECOGNIZABLE OPTION 'EMPTYEXCPSEC' IN PARMLIB INPUT IEE947I '/* DEFAULT RETRY */ EMPTYEXCPSEC(SUPPRESS)' SKIPPED DUE TO PREVIOUS ERROR IBM has confirmed that the option only exists in z/OS 1.10, where it is listed in the Release Guide as a 1.10 enhancement Barry Merrill -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html -- Cobe Xu Best Regards --- zOS Performance Capacity Analyst E2E Performance Analyst Email: cob...@gmail.com --- -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

It seems that average programmers (whatever that means) are paid less than I expected, and excellent programmers are never paid enough. But whichever HR department posted the $61K salary in 2005 certainly wasn't crazy, because that department probably did the same thing I just did and checked market salary ranges in at least cursory fashion. And if they didn't fill the job, they would advertise a higher salary. (Or not fill the job.) Or the applicant would negotiate a higher salary. So they'd learn pretty fast.

WLM can not save definition to new dataset
Hi, When I try to save WLM definition to a new dataset using FILE - SAVE AS, then I get the following msg: DATA SET SYSU.WLM.SERVDEF.NEW.CX NOT ALLOCATED, VOLUME NOT AVAILABLE+ VOLUME NECESSARY TO SATISFY YOUR REQUEST NOT ON SYSTEM, AND CANNOT BE MOUNTED *** and Unable to allocate new data set. TSO ALLOCATE return code is: RC=12 (IWMAM079) when I change the dataset HLQ to my user ID, it works ok. Is that possible the CATALOG 's problem? cuz' they are in different UCATs. or the SMS routine's problem? Any help will be appreciated. PS: I have access to SYSU HLQ datasets, I can manually allocate the dataset in 3.2. BEST REGARDS Cobe Xu,Qing Rong (徐庆荣) Performance Analyst IBM Global Delivery Center
