Converting CPU Time to MIPS
Management is trying to cut and save CPU cost. So they came up with this Cost Avoidance Committee. (Primarily consisting of uper management). Now they want us to somehow equate the CPU Time consumed (primarily by a CICS transaction) and equate that into MIPS. I know that folks have come up with formulas on how to do this. We use BEST/1 (Visualizer) for our performance reporting and it works off 15 minute intervals. Within this 15 minute interval, we can run hundreds of CICS transactions. If we take one CICS transaction and convert the CPU time used into MIPS, it is much higher than the 15 minute interval that is being reported in BEST/1. So there is really no way for us to correlate this number with our BEST/1 data. The performance data comes from MXG and it gets fed into BEST/1. As far as I know, MXG does not report on MIP utilization per CICS transaction. It does report on the elapsed time and CPU time for individual CPU transactions. And it would be just to much of an effort for us to report on MIPS used for hundreds of CICS transactions. Any suggestions or comments ??

Re: Converting CPU Time to MIPS
On Thu, 2 Jul 2009 11:30:48 -0500, Hal Merritt hmerr...@jackhenry.com wrote: They don't really want to know MIPS. They want to know money. That is, how much does it cost to run transaction x. Perhaps expressing the CPU consumption as a percentage of the box's capacity would answer the question. Each engine has a fixed capacity of one CPU second per clock second, but the MIPS will vary depending on the speed of the engine (among other things). If, for example, you run a four engine, 100 MIP box, then one CPU second = 25% of the box or 25 MIPS. Another example is a four engine 1000 MIP box, then one CPU second is still 25% of the box or 250 MIPS. Another way to express the capacity of a box is the theoretical maximum number of CPU seconds you can use. Again assuming that you have a four engine box, then the maximum number you can use is 345,600. (24 hours x 60 min x 60 sec x 4). If this is a 100 MIP box, then each MIP is theoretically 34,560 CPU seconds. You should be able to see the problems that arise trying to express CPU seconds in MIPS. It get worse. We also have to consider the time value of that transaction. It may take more than one MIP to run 34,500 one second transactions with an acceptable response time. You should be able to see the problems that arise trying to express CPU seconds in MIPS. Remember what we are trying to do and who is asking. I'd offer the second calculation and see what they say.

FYI: TCP/IP Segmentation Offload
I came accross this item on both the 2084 and 2094 PSP buckets: 06/12/13 The TCP Segmentation Off-load feature (also called OSA Large Send) is enabled by default if all of the requirements documented in PK02490 are met. Due to the potential for OSAs that are using this feature to experience unrecoverable INOPs(requiring intervention by configuring the affected CHPIDs off-line), it is currently recommended that Segmentation Off-load be disabled. To disable Segmentation Offload, it is recommended that the following maintenance be applied and then code NOSEGMENTATIONOFFLoad on the GLOBALCONFIG statement in the TCPIP PROFILE. FMID APAR PTF COMMENT HIP6160PK21685UK13788 TCP/IP JIP6169PK21685UK13789 TCP/IP (HFS) HIP6170PK21685UK13790 TCP/IP JIP6179PK21685UK13791 TCP/IP (HFS) HIP6180PK26905UK17180 TCP/IP JIP6189PK26905UK17181 TCP/IP (HFS) Once all of the microcode issues for Segmentation Offload are resolved, a Washington Systems Center Flash will be released advising what the minimum recommended code level will be.

Re: z/OS V1.4 and v1.7 with Language Environment
On Wed, 8 Nov 2006 12:29:19 -0500, Lizette Koehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are planning to upgrade from z/OS V1.4 to V1.7. There has come up a concern over having z/OS V1.7 Language Environment in the TEST/DEVL systems and not in production. That programs compiled and LKED with the newer LE would have issues running in the V1.4 LPARS. I was thinking of just taking SCEELKED and leaving the V1.4 version in TEST/DEVL until V1.7 is on the production LPARS. Does anyone have any indication whether or not we need to leave the V1.4 version in TEST/DEVL or if the V1.7 can be in TEST/DEVL and rolling out to V1.4 LPARs. Does anyone know of any other application specific concerns with LE? ThanksLizette We went through exactly the same upgrade process and we did not encounter any problems with LE. Our Test system was upgraded to 1.7 and our production system remained at 1.4 for about a month. As long as you have applied all the necessary toleration/coexistence PTFs, then I don't see a problem running LE 1.7 in Test and LE 1.4 in Production. About the only thing that I can see is if you are using a new function that it is only available under z/OS 1.7, then obviously it would not work very well under z/OS 1.4 (assuming a toleration PTF is not available). -- 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 -- 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
