RE: System ASP used -vs- Systsem Performance

You are correct, there are a lot of variables... And the fact that there
are so many variables, means that it it's going to live as an "it
depends" situation, and thus, will never have a pretty table to
reference.

We've run at 90%+ for awhile.. No noticeable difference...

Part of the concern on how full you're getting is not on performance,
but the fact that temp space (sort work areas from a large database
query with a join etc.. ) could eat what's left, and then not-so-fun
things happen when you actually run out of space..

Subject: System ASP used -vs- Systsem Performance


We are sitting at 86% ASP usage.
I've always been told that once you get past a certain point (% ASP
usage) that you will see a significant degradation in the system
performance.  Surely that number has to depend on the model, amount of
DASD, memory etc... Is there anywhere I can go that may have a tool or
reference table that I can use to determine whether or not we are past
that threshold. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________
