Have you confirmed the feature is installed and all parms set properly?  It 
almost appears it's GP's instead of zEDC.

Subject: I: zEDC compression on z14 and z15 by using ADRDSSU

Sorry guys
I realized that the table have lost their format then I resend them and I hope 
this will enhances the readability

As we can see :
        1. 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 CP 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 CP 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 and maybe also in the 
compression ratio has been reduced 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) ..., 
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.
