SDSF CPU/L Meanings

Postby freelar » Thu Nov 08, 2012 9:33 pm

SDSF DA xxxx NMA1 PAG 1 CPU/L 100/ 36 LINE 1-14 (267)

I've read numerous things on what CPU/L means, amount of CPU task percentage being used, percent of time CPU is active etc...

If anyone can point me to or let me know what CPU "100" and L "36' actually are saying it would be helpful.

Thank you , Rickey

p.s. Do yo know of good documentation for using Omegaman, I used it years ago but not lately... Thanks

I saw that but I'd expect a CPU to be busy 100% all the time so i must not be interpreting what that means. I have been told SDSF doesnt give a good view of CPU% used, so what does CPU busy actually mean. Thanks Rickey

Why wouid you think that? Is your shop's hardware so inadequate that it exists in a perpetual state of peggedness attempting to handle its workload?

SO your business is so slow LPAR's sit idly by with nothing to process, waste of an LPAR...

Busy as in it's processing, you know like walking you are either walking or your not,,, busy as in processng whether .0001 % or a 100% one is more busy than the other but the low end is still processing.
Anyway you're quoting things i've read i actually want to understand it and what it means I can read, your junior programmers can read, you just need to go to that next level to understand it, that's where the action is.

freelar,

Have you noticed the sub-heading of this site?

Which are you?

If you have a question, it is good to find a good place to ask it, and to ask it well.

We can't read minds. We don't know what you have read or what you are trying to do, unless you tell us.

If you then act like you expect that we should be able to do that, and imagine things about forum members because we can't, then much of what you write will go the same way as your last.

Freelar, I highly recommend you find the Workload Manager manual in the z/OS MVS bookshelf and read it for at least a couple of hundred pages. And then read the Redbook SG24-6472 System Programmer's Guide to: Workload Manager. You completely and totally do not understand CPU utilization.
