Re: BMC MainView for DB2

2014-05-23 Thread k Zaf
Dear Rex, thank you for your answer.​

As I have not access to BMC remedy, could you please verify to me if
MainView for DB2 v10 is compatible with DB2 v9.1?

Thanks in advance
Kostas

 They definitely don't make it easy to find!  What I found was 11.1.0
 available on 6/25/2013, supported on z/OS 1.12, 1.13, 2.1.  DB2 9.1, 10,
 and 11 are listed as supported.

Re: SSD tiering benefits

2013-08-12 Thread k Zaf
Thanks for your answer Lizette

We are using various tools like IBM RMF  ASG TMONZOS in z/OS running SMS 
HSM. We actually want to tier some very utilized DB2 v9.1 workload to SSD
and keep all the rest running in spinning VMAX 15000 rpm disks. I am very
interesting in forecasting any potential  CPU benefit beside of course the
better IO. How can we project this?

 What tools do you have?  Do you have SAS SAS/MXG SAS/MICS, Omegamon
 (Tivoli), DISK Magic,  etc...

 What version of z/OS, DB2?

 What hardware is used?  EMC (VMAX, other), HDS, IBM?

 RMF which creates the Type 70  records, should contain some of the
 information you are looking for.  Do you have experience in Performance
 analysis?  If you do, what tools do you normally use?

 What will you be using for tiering?   Each hardware vendors have their own
 tiering solutions.

 I think DISK magic (fee product) by Intellimagic can do what if analysis.

 My understanding is that Tiering is used to move less active data to
 slower devices inside a storage array and put highly accessed data on
 faster devices in the array.  That tiering is used to smooth out the hot
 spots in the array itself.  Or move data from more expensive storage (SSD)
 to less expensive (SATA) devices within the array.

 So is your issue hot spots in the array and DB2 requires better
 performance (1 ms or less per transaction)?  Are you mixing SSD to SATA
 type devices and want to ensure high access data is on the fast  device?

 What is the problem you are trying to solve with SSD drives?

 Do you use DFHSM and DFSMS to manage your storage?  Do you have a mixed
 DFSMS pool with both Spinning and SSD disks?  Is the SMS pool a pure DB2
 table pool or share with non-VSAM?  Are your DB2 Tables currently on SSD or
 spinning disks?  Or on mixed devices? Do you use your Storage groups to
 direct your DB2 tables to SSD?

 Dear Listers,

 We are thinking to implement storage tiering using some SSD volumes for
 some of our very active DB2 tablespaces. Is there any way to measure
 performance improvements for both CPU and IO utilization?  Do you have any
 experience on tiering with SSD in DB2 environment?

 Kind regards

Re: Retrieving jobs of input queue

2013-06-19 Thread k Zaf
Hi all,

Thank you for your answers. Note that I would like to bypass in my REXX the
use of address ISFEXEC or ISFACT. This is because I am not using standard
TSO REXX but OPS/MVS REXX which is not supporting (yet) a host environment
to SDSF.


Kind regards

 You can use the lsjes command:

 See: https://www.dovetail.com/docs/coz/dsp-ref_lsjes.html

 This could be called from REXX using bpxwunix() or the SH host command
 environment.

 Also, the fromdsn command can be used to extract spool files for a job.

 Hi dear all,
 
 I would like to produce a statistic report using ICETOOL. This report
 should shown the percentage of records in the file according to their
 values e.g.
 
 Input:
 
 AAA
 BBB
 AAA
 CCC
 AAA
 BBB
 
 Output Percentages:
 
 AAA 50,0
 BBB 33,0
 CCC 16,7
 
 Is there any ICETOOL operator (like OCCUR) to find out the above
 percentage? Do I have to use various INCLUDE COND and then read the DFSMSG
 to extract percentages (from ICE054I 0 RECORDS - IN: xxx, OUT: yyy) ?
 
 Thanks in advance
