RE: Loading TR9 on V7R1 - Performance Issues!

Paul, I received CPF362E also. When I did the IPL though, it permanently applied TR9, loaded all the other PTF Groups, automatically restarted the system again and applied everything.

Everything worked just fine during the IPL. I just wish I knew what happened before that IPL!

I've opened a PMR with IBM. They are taking a look at the performance data that was collected during this event. This is what they had to say:

From the overview we can see there is an increase in the write times which looks to have caused some seize and gate contention. Without a Job Watcher collection we cannot see what the jobs were writing to or the seizing/gating holder and waiter information. Typically when we see write times increase like this we'd expect to see disk response also increase on one or more drives, however, I'm not seeing that type of activity. I'm still reviewing the data but would like PALs sent in.

I'm beginning to think that I should have Job Watched running all the time just like I have performance collection running. This is the second time in the last few months where IBM has wanted to look at Job Watcher data for an event and I didn't have it and I wasn't able to recreate the event to get it.

Is anyone else out there running Job Watcher along with performance collection 7x24?
