Peter, from what I recall I believe the information around Unix System
Services stuff along with zIIP activity should be available to the IEFACTRT
exit.  There is information in the SMF 30 record related to Unix activity
and zIIP activity.  I'm guessing it's a matter of updating the exit to pull
the data from the proper SMF 30 fields.  My guess would be that no one
considered updating the exit as new stuff got added to the different parts
of the SMF 30 data. 


I'm guessing you are talking about the IEF032I (or IEF033I) message when you
refer to the JESSYSMSG message.  I don't really know if IBM tries to account
for any of the activity in Unix land or activity on the zIIP.

Subject: CPU and I/O statistics for BPXBATCH executions?

Hi All,

Just a question of curiosity.  In recent days I have been running some
ad-hoc BPXBATCH jobs that executes some "cp" commands to copy a few z/OS
data files down to a Unix directory, then a python script which uses that
data.

While the job is running I can use SDSF DA and PS to see the various Unix
parts running, but at the end of the job the shop-local IEFACTRT report in
the JESMSGLG output only seems to account for the actual BPXBATCH CPU time
and I/O count.  The much more significant Unix I/O and CPU values are not
included in that report as far as I can tell.

Similarly, the JESYSMSG end-of-step output messages for the BPXBATCH step
again only seem to account for BPXBATCH usage alone, and not any of the Unix
CPU or memory usage.

Is there data available to an IEFACTRT routine or the JESYSMSG end-of-step
processing to report Unix usage in a batch step at all?  Or is that only
available in DCOLLECT output (to which I do not have and cannot get any
permissions from local security due to zero trust rules)?

Or am I seeing the python-on-ZIIP capability here, and the CPU isn't
reported because it is done on a ZIIP (though that would not explain the I/O
count being so low when I know the python script does quite a lot more I/O)?

If it matters, we're on z/OS 2.5 here at a reasonably current RSU I believe,
but I don't know the exact level.  HW is z15.
