Re: CLIP?

I got into this biz in the late 70s. The term CLIP was common parlance for 'label reformat'. I still have several canned JCL members with 'CLIP' in the member name. If nothing else, the term is unique, while 'reformat' could have any number of meanings. . . J.O.Skip Robinson Southern

Re: RACF on a Sysplex??

Generic profiles had become a standard here years before we cloned the first RACF data base. Went so far as to create a still existing usermod to the RACF ISPF app that inserts 'Generic' on the main data set profile panels. One would have to go out of the way to create a discrete profile. I saw

Tony, Another item to throw into the mix is what size of virtual-volumes you define them as. With 3490's, you can define the virtual-volumes in Gigabytes of capacity. If you stack lots of very small files, you run into a problem with the Block-ID not being large enough. With them defined as

Re: ZIIP engine utilization

Since you have at least the RMF post processor reports available to you, the CPU Activity report is a high-level place to start. In particular I would start at the Partition Data Report section. Look for the total physical utilization of the zIIP(s). That's not the only place you may see an

Re: ZIIP engine utilization

SMF30_TIME_zIIP_ON_CP is another indicator. Look at subtype 2 interval records for long running tasks such as CICS and DB2 and at subtype 4 records for regular jobs. SMF30_TIME_zIIP_ON_CP is all the work that could be done on a z/IIP but couldn't due to the ZIIP was busy with other work.

Re: ZIIP engine utilization

Re: ZIIP engine utilization

IIRC, you can look at zIIP-eligible time (CPUZIETM). If it is a high value, you are not only losing the benefit of running on an additional uncapped specialty processor, you are potentially wasting money if then running on a GP at a time that drives the system to a new 4HRA on software costs!

Re: ZIIP engine utilization

The situation for a zIIP is somewhat more complex and 2-staged. If a zIIP becomes heavier used, delays for the zIIP begin to show up. It is at 30% utilization when you have 1 zIIP, 60% utilization when you have 2 zIIP. It the zIIP becomes heavier loaded and delays are growing, the CP is asked to
