Thank you all for your suggestions and insights regarding the subject of
HSM CPU consumption.
I have now many things to consider.
Best regards and good health,
Arye.

I used to work with the guy that was the tech lead for the LzLabs CICS
project. He tried to recruit some of us!
IIRC, they got it churning out pretty impressive transactions per/sec.
Don't know about reliability.

Interesting. Thanks.

I remember that one well. Would seem to say that the interface is not
protectable, only the implementation thereof. No national precedent because
SCOTUS did not really rule.

David,
Yep that’s what I heard about lzLabs , I have former Swiss colleague who
mentioned them to me. He was a diehard MVSer and thought they were pretty
impressive.

All,
Why can’t IBM or other vendors somehow license their apis so other vendors
may use them. It seems to me that would benefit a lot of customers and
vendors ?

They could, trivially. (Well, FSVO "trivially." A bunch of lawyer time, but no
rocket science.)
They choose not to. I do not speak for IBM, of course, but I would guess that
they view keeping the MVS API's close to the vest constitutes a strategic
corporate asset and competitive advantage.

GETDSAB does not require authorization despite where it is documented.

You can get brilliant performance on x86 but mainframe class
availability is another matter! Don't know if I would want my ATM to be
running on a blade just yet!

You sound like you know what you're talking about, so please interpret the

Absolutely, unfortunately it seems to boil down to MONEY. Like owning a
copy of z/PDT if your doing independent development.
You have to somehow pay for it ...customers or someone giving you a grant (

To anyone,
I am not a performance person at all, but can someone help me with pointing me
in the right direction. We are running a small SYSplex, but we are getting
delays on one LPAR, PROC-XCFAS
*SYSTEMPROC-XCFAS 3.7 users
ALL STCPROC-XCFAS 3.2 users
IMS PROC-XCF
Delays don’t really count for anything unless we know that these jobs
are missing their objectives and by how much. Delays always occur.
If the jobs are meeting their objectives then there is no performance problem
(as far as the system is concerned). The problem, then, is

In a lawsuit against Neon Enterprise (John Moores) the court ruled in favor of
IBM. They had to take zPrime out of the market. There was also a permanent
injunction issued against Neon.

The only tuning I a aware of for XCF is to provide appropriate transport
classes for the messages being passed. If inappropriate, this will usually
show up as CPU concumption in the XCFAS address space. Look at the CPU
consumed, not the delay.
It is possible that this is contributing to the CI
Thanks Allen, that is good place to start. The CPU% for the ISGLOCK, IXCSTR1
and IXCSTR2 are 58%, 74% and 21%, which seem very high to me. But, the IXCSTR3
and IXCSTR4 are very low. It would seem I might have an imbalance with the XCF
messages and size. Async rate for IXCSTR1 is 120
I am wond
It's normal for different transport classes to show different request
rates - and that would show up in the signalling paths they own as similar
imbalances. Within a transport class would be more worrying - as that
would show one path outperforming another. Actually, nowadays, CF

Given that info, you might also check on the size of the ISGLOCK structure and
adjust that if needed.

Neon was a product to run some DB2 on zAAPs or zIIPs. Only the
workload specified by IBM could run on those processors.

No. Neon was a software company. They sold a product called zPrime that
allowed unauthorized usage of zIIP and zAAP for almost any kind of
workload. IBM already runs much of DB2 on zIIP.
IBM only allows code to run on zIIP when you have specific contracts that
allow you to for specific things.
Actually they Did in Europe. European courts sided with Neon

It's interesting that a zIIP can be described as a "speciality" engine yet
the workload they run also run on a CP engine.
I thought that they are the same basically and it's just another way to
sell a piece of kit and play bait and switch on pricing.
