Re: ZIIP engine utilization

I'm sorry, but the following will not answer your immediate question about how to determine if a zIIP is getting maxed out. I don't know the answer to your specific question. These comments pertain more to a longer view of performance monitoring. In the interim though, you can always try to

Ladies and Gentlemen, A gentle reminder that the next meeting of the GSE UK Security Working Group, will take place on Thursday 28th June 2018 at the offices of SAS UK in Marlow, UK – the venue is approximately a 30 minute drive from London Heathrow Airport. We now have a full agenda, which is

Re: trying to reload a pdse after it has been unloaded and ftp'd

I am not going to be doing PUT after the dump. The PUT is just to manually load some test data from a 3rd lpar. I have to use GET on the unloaded dump receiving lpar because the lpar creating the dump is prevented from doing a PUT to another lpar - It was set up to be a one way street only.

Re: How to capture LOGS of system running tasks (was Job submit using REXX )

I am not sure why you want to capture this with Rexx, but I will second the idea of using the SPIN= keyword to spin off log entries on a regular interval. If you just want to capture to disk, you can use one of the products mentioned, or if you don't have such a product, you can create an

Re: Allocating an SMS managed dataset in TSO with space in bytes

This is, actually, a request for records - I was using the 1-byte average record size because I thought the original poster wanted to allocate in megabytes. If you want to request records and you know the LRECL or the average LRECL, use AVGREC=U/K/M, and SPACE=(avgLRECL,(pri,sec)) where

I've been playing around with $MIGRATE SPOOL, and have had a few degrees of success, however, on some of our rather archaic systems, I get: $HASP003 RC=(136),M 775 $HASP003 RC=(136),M SPL(vv) - Command is not allowed on a $HASP003target volume with this format. This is a MERGE

Re: Best Practices, SMF LOGSTREAMS

It sounds as though you only have one CF? At least two is the recommended config. In that case you move the structures from one CF to the other then work on the “empty” one. You can always revert to using SMF datasets while working on the CF. On Thu, May 17, 2018 at 4:40 PM Kenneth J. Kripke

ZIIP engine utilization

Our senior performance person has retired. We have a ZIIP on a Z13s. One of our customers is using Adabase and some product to make maximum use of the Ziip. They feel that the Ziip has maxed out from I think messages they are getting from their product and response is slower. I am getting
