James:

Do you have the performance tools? If so you can use WRKSYSACT to zero in on the jobs causing the problem. It's more than likely a thread of one of the active jobs. What does the database % look like? What is the faulting going on? Are there temporary indexes being built? A clue there might be the % busy of the disk.

Another suggestion is Navigator. If you have a management Central host you can set up monitor for jobs based on several factors.

A third option if you have the Midrange Performance Group tools is to use that to drive into the system to see what's using everything.

Question about something I'm seeing on a customer's box:

Response time is generally sluggish, and when I do a WRKACTJOB, I seen
numbers like:
CPU %: 122.9

But no one job appears to be taking up much CPU, and the top 9 show:
7.4, 2.6, 2.0, 1.5, 1.4, .9, .9, .8, and .8

54 out of 1805 jobs are showing nonzero CPU %.

I've seen similar things, but never this extreme. Where is all that CPU
going?
