ISV software costs based on MIPS
Hi list. Some of out vendors are using Gartner MIPS Rating as the base for software costs calculations. I have noticed that prior to Z196 MIPS Ratings the Gartner MIPS number significantly differed from IBM's LSPR / Sherill Watson CPU Charts (which is also based on the LSPR data). On Z196 Garner changed their calculation method to be based on the LSPR values. When upgrading from a Z10 CPC to the equivalent z196 CPC the MIPS differences between the CPC models is bigger then actual based on the Gartner MIPS tables which result in a higher software costs. Gartner MSU's are based on IBM values. For Example: CPC IBM MIPS Gartner MIPS IBMGartner MSU's 2097-7138809 84541076 2817-7098943 88401091 = Diff134 MIPS 386 MIPS15 MSU From the Gartner Z196 MIPS rating table their is note regarding the calculation method change: The base performance that IBM uses to come up with system performance comparisons is the new AVERAGE workload. Gartner will now look at the AVERAGE workload LSPR results as the base of our MIPS calculation. 1. Are you using Gartner or other method for calculating ISV Vendors software costs ? 2. Are you aware to the change in the calculation method and how your organization deals with it? The MIPS difference can result in a major difference in the software costs? -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Batch process VS Started task
Hi list. We have a daily betch job that is processing as input records which has been collected all day. volume of records is about 5 millions for 24 hours. In order to make systems more online we are looking for a way to run the process for each record all day long instead of a daily run, and doing so with minimum as possible application changes. One idea that came up is to convert the process to a self developed STC which will be triggered by a record on an MQ queue and will run as STC all the batch process programs To me it seems like a bad idea because having a self developed STC in production create a maintenance gap (and where there is one STC a second one will soon to follow...)... Are there other advantages / dis-advantages regarding a self developed STC ? Are there any self developed STC's at your shop? Any other ideas on how to approach this issue? Thanks in advanced.

Re: Batch process VS Started task
Hi. The records arrives from a few sources to a few seq files The collection process collect the records from the files and then the batch process begins. In the new situation, the batch process or STC will handle each record and the collection process will be eliminated. Regarding the maintenance gap, I'm not concern from a complicated code, but from using functions that IBM will someday will no longer support, i.e. LE functions. When you upgrade a zOS version you contact all the software vendors and check for compatibility to the new zOS version, on a self developed STC you cann't do that...

VTAM Generic Resource affinity
Hi, We recently defined 2 CICS tor regions under a VTAM generic resource (2 way plex 1 tor on every lpar), the connecting partners are 30 servers which are connecting as LU 6.2. When restarting a server it always connect to the same owning resource. I have issued a command : d net,graff,lu=x and on the ATTRIBUTES section I got: -VG--WL- looking into documentation I figured that the problem might be related to the seventh attribute L The seventh character is either L to indicate that this affinity will be used for up to 10 minutes after the last session between the session partners ended, or a hyphen (-) otherwise. An affinity might used for this extended time if either of the following is true: An LU6.2session is established without SYNCPT or Limited Resource. An LU6.2 session is established, but the application specified LUAFFIN=NOTAPPL on the NIB for the OPNDST or OPNSEC. As far as I know SYNCPT can be used on an APPC applications (APPC=YES on the VTAM appl which can not be defined for CICS application) My question is how can I remove the CICS affinity when the server is restarting?

DFSMStvs Impementation
Hi list. We are implementing a Parallel Sysplex Data Sharing environment. We have a central VSAM file which we have products (called DPT) that loads it into ECSA and manage pointers in CICS so data can be accessed with good performance. When we are going to implement more then one LPAR in the PLEX there would be a synchronization problem between the members ECSA. In order to solve this we are trying to implement RLS and DFSMStvs which will allow us to cache the VSAM file in the CF and manage sharing between CICS region and batch. We encountered a huge performance problem, CICS transaction CPU increased by +30% (elapsed wasn't much effected). We defined the VSAM file in CICS regions as an RLS dataset, but On our shop CICS regions doesn't update the VSAM file only batch jobs are doing updates. If CICS only read the VSAM file can be define it as a non RLS file (as long that batch jobs that update the file will allocate with RLS=...)? Will CICS see updates? Would it effect the transaction performance and eliminate most of the CPU overhead? Any other recommendations / Ideas would be appreciated.

Static PAV in RMF I/O QUEUING ACTIVITY report

Re: Vtam Generic VS Cross Domain
Hi Chris First of all thanks for the detailed response. you wrote ... in one of the domains where the secondary LUs have been activated, VTAM is still assuming an association between MYCICS as a CDRSC and the secondary LUs in the form of a session request which has the status code POLUIO associated with it. This would explain the number of session requests being greater than zero. I would expect it would be easy enough simply to use a command of the form VARY NET,INACT,ID=MYCICS,DELETE=YES in that domain in order to remove all trace of MYCICS prior to performing your tests with MYCICS as a generic resource.[1] And this is exactly what we tried to do, but after issuing the VARY NET,INACT,ID=MYCICS,DELETE=YES command issuing a D NET,ID=MYCICS,SCOPE=ALL showed that MYCICS was still defined as before ... My guess was that since this is a dynamic CDRSC it is defined as long a client is trying to connect (session requests0) so he is redefiend again and again After Restarting CICS with the new appl name an with MYCICS as generic resource name it seems that clients were able to connect using generic resource name (MYCICS)... but still D NET showed a CDRSC definition with sec-lu in POLIOU status... thanks Magen -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

When you set RUWAPOOL=YES CICS creates a pool of storage the first time a program invoked by LE and maintain it. This is used to reduce GETMAIN/FREEMAIN commands. Since the applications are growing a new/bigger application program will need to allocate more storage, and then from time to time you will need to do adjusting (applies only to PGMs with LE ALL31(ON)). Specifying RUWAPOOL=NO will disable this function but can affect performance. Notice also the AUTODST parm which regards to storage tunning of LE application programs.

After restarting the job it works fine - till next time The DB2 SP is created with: STAY RESIDENT NO the main program is not rent and not reus and the failing module is not rent and REUS. We have two directions: A. The use count of the module increase in every call to the SP under the DB2SPAS jobstep till it has max use count... it's not reloaded again since it has RU attribute, B. since the module has RU attr under the DB2SPAS jobstep any SP that would call that module and work same time will cause an abend. The module is an external product module so we can't relink... Any advice will be appreciated.

Re: Max Use Count
Hi Todd Roland First let me thank you for your replys. When I said RU I ment SERIAL of course. but unfortunately ZOS does not take the care actually to serial the call and it's the application responsibility. On the DB2 SP documentation it states that SP should be RN RU or No-Rent and No-Reus because the same RU module can be loaded more then one time in diffrent thread's under the same jobstep (DB2SPAS). Also the abends are random, and we have discovered that the calling routine was running more then 32800 times(Max use count is 32767). I think that we are abending when another SP was using the RU module (another thread), but on the CREATE SP statement the STAY RESIDENT NO specified (I'm not sure that this parm is regarding to all LM chain) Regarding to DB2WLM we are getting there.
