Hi,
First of all thank you for the answers.

We built dynamically 30 jobs per days with 141/142/143 steps each one (1 step --> 1 DASD dumped) 2. We had some more steps on the second run because the numbers of DASD devices has increased meanwhile; 3. The CPU consumption is equivalent per job on each job chain (it means that the content of the DASD didn’t influence the CPU utilization: do you agree?) 4. In total on Z15 we used the IP for (1633.17 +69.86) minutes and on Z14 for (780.45+17.06) minutes the difference is 905 minutes --> more than 15h of 1 IP per day! This is an huge increase (especially if you pay the SW fee based on the total CPU utilization)! 5. We relieved this behavior only for the DUMP with DFDSS by using ZCOMP DISK to TAPE (not for the compression on DISK via dataclass for example) 6. We relieved on Z15 an elapsed time reduction on the elapsed maybe also in the compression ratio but this is not the point I raised up . The point is that on Z15 we experienced more CPU consumption and IBM said: The Integrated Accelerator for zEDC, available with IBM(r) z15(tm) and LinuxONE III, reduces the cost of storing, transporting and processing data. It replaces the zEDC Express adapter with on-chip compression, providing increased throughput and capacity: for the z15, up to 8 times faster application elapsed time with no additional CPU time compared to a z14 with zEDC Express for compression and decompression (cfr https://www.ibm.com/support/z-content-solutions/compression/) Unfortunately I do not have the Z14 anymore and I can’t do further tests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
