RE: something is eating my iseries resources, but im not sure how

["Salter, James" <JSalter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A few options come to mind,

1) What does the System i monitor show?  You may need to start this up.

2) Maybe periodically, dumping out your system stats to a file, you can
schedule this to run every 15 minutes or so.

3) Maybe a product like MPG's Performance Navigator can be used as a
trial to resolve this.  I have had this product for several years & it
would definitely identify the issue.  There are a lot of great
performance graphs in this product.

Also, if you use WRKACTJOB, WRKSYSACT, etc. quite a bit, you may be the
culprit in compounding the issue.

Thanks.

subject: something is eating my iseries resources,	but im not sure
how
	to find it.

At various times during the day the system comes to a crawl. I do a
wrkactjob, but it doesn't show anything. I just purchased performance
tools,
but not sure how to set it up to find the hog(s).


Is there a way  that the system could tell me what job/processs/etc is
slowing us down? Im guessing I have to have this monitor run all  day
long.
I just don't know what to run and how to find the problem. 


Any suggestions would be great.
