Re: my system is sluggish and I don't why?

Alister,

My apologies for being so cryptic.  Damn that RPG programming background.

As Rob mentioned in another note, Performance Tools is a fee-based LP so
you may not have it installed on your system.  The central command to use
would be STRPFRT.  However, even if you don't have PFRT on your system you
can still run the monitor and collect the data.  PFRT gives you some nice
commands (WRKSYSACT is always a favorite), reports, graphing, modeling
tools, etc.  You can use STRPFRMON to start the collection and the
performance data is dumped to database files (defaulting to library
QPFRDATA).  It does use a lot of files but the main ones you might be
interested in would be QAPMJOBS (job data) and specifically QAPMDIOP.  As I
mentioned before it is highly unlikely that you have an IOP bottleneck but
they can happen........

HTH

Was PFRT a typo ?  GO CMDPFRT got me nothing.

Thanks to WRKDSKSTS & GO PM400 I learned that our peak disk activity is
like
11% which is way below what Vernon said was worth being concerned about,
and
most of the time it is below 2%.

Our Disk Utilization is 75% give or take 2% (it really fluctuates by 4% a
day
up & down), so I am on the right prioritization track figuring out what I
can
do to identify & eliminate old stuff we no longer need.
