Greetings all,
In recent years, IBM provided a z/OS DVD Collection download which contained
copies of both z/OS and software product manuals (e.g., SK3T-4271-31). Prior
to z/OS 1.11, these were provided as two separate collections. The newest
collection for 2.1 (SK4T-4949-00) only contains the
The amount of DDF workload in this shop is minimal and yes, there are gaols to
accommodate for that work.

Thanks Martin.
I tend to agree with the DB2 and CICS importance strategy you point out.
I would really like to debate the VEL:80 however that should be in another
thread.

Thank you for the assurance in my thinking here.
Like you said, a policies do this and what is most likely the limiting factor
is # service class periods. My take is usually for the higher importance
workloads, I tend not to mess around with mixing them.

Velocity of 80 is not a recipe. It depends on what is typically achieved.

I think an ironic subtext in this discussion is the that companies that
employ mainframe typically entrust it with their most precious family
jewels. So even as management disparages mainframe network access, they
still value it as the best place to keep the most valuable data. And when

The SMF EXCP counting code counts all EXCPs but not necessarily all I/O
requests. If your wayward job is using the STARTIO access method or the
Media Manager to do its output I/O to tape, then its bazillions of I/O requests
will never be accounted for in SMF data, but they will show up in RMF
One way to know for sure what access method is being used is to get a GTF trace
of at least one I/O request from your wayward job that you think should be
counted. Turn on the IOSB option in GTF. You don't need to trace both SSCH
and I/O interrupts; SSCH is probably enough. Find one trace
I have considered that I/O to the DB2 data base might be accounted for by
DB2. Maybe even the tape I/O, but that seems a stretch. But the job also
does I/O to conventional files like STEPLIB and SYSIN, which is reported
by the SMF exit for other steps in the same job. My money is on the
My money would also NOT be on using the wrong access method, but it is
theoretically possible.

About 30 years ago we had an online CICS region that had 1000+ DD
statements for 3270's. Our SMF processing program burped on the type

It was written in COBOL and I learned quite a bit on how the program
handled the situation (and it wasn't pretty).

Great idea. I played with Easy SMF once upon a time and found it very easy to

Either there is no RACF I'd which has a UID of 12345 or there is a problem
with your RACF database. What is the AIM level of the RACFDB? It really
