Subject:  Re: % temp addresses = 96.800




No one *has* been paying any attention.  Don't hit me for saying this, but
it
hasn't been necessary to monitor for this stuff since performance has been
adequate and we have not noticed any slowness.  This is strictly a
development
& testing box.

Re having the same problem under RISC:  our very heavily used 9406-510 RISC
branch production box is sitting with .016% of permanent addresses used and
.187% of temporary addresses used.  This box hasn't been IPL'd in over six
months, probably a year.  (Presently trying to scan the archives to find
the
thread on how to determine the last IPL on a given box.)  The job for QCTL,
the controlling subsystem, was started on 5/20/2000.  "CALL QSYS/QWCCRTEC"
shows that our CISC box was last IPL'd on October 1, 2000.  The same
program
confirms the 5/20/2000 IPL on the aforementioned RISC box.

-------------------------- Original Message --------------------------
We are on RISC & the problem does not go away with RISC.

It only goes away by paying attention to various warnings on the system,
like
you are doing, and by periodically studying DSPJOBTBL & other clues to see
what is normal for your reality & making performance tuning so you not
using
excess stuff.

For you to get to 96.8 % SURPRISE tells me that either:
no one paying attention while it climbed, or
you are under gassed for what you using your system for, or
you have periods of serious churning of system resources other than time
period involved in your review of WRKSYSSTS which is only good for the time
period YOU personally accessed it then accessed it again, not for the total
overall system.
You might ask whoever signs on first thing in work day to visit this first
thing, then revisit when their day is over ... those statistics would be a
lot more meaningful.

Elapsed time . . . . . . :   00:00:00
means the data you shared is practically worthless for making any
judgements.
