Do you do ADABAS caching?  Can you look at the ADABAS shutdown stats?  A couple 
of areas to look at in the shutdown stats...

Logical reads
Buffer efficiency
Distribution of commands by thread (would also be good to know how many threads 
you have)
High watermarks for the major pools (I have not been able to get a good handle 
on my FI pool as it is always at 99% but all the other ones I'm able to keep to 
50% or less.)


Thanks,

Subject: Re: ADABAS tuning

To answer some of the questions:

1) There is no monitor.
2) WLM only has two profiles, DAY and NIGHT. These jobs all run during the 
NIGHT settings.
3) Turf war prevents me from actually calling ADABAS support. Only the DBA is 
allowed that option. And, if the issues are resolved with ADABAS tuning, then 
he will look really bad as he has placed all the blame on 'Systems'. So, he 
will not call them for us.

I need to get enough ammo to dump it back on the DBA.
