I'm with you - everything has changed many times in the last 25 years, esp. in re Work Management. Some faults have to happen, and the limits are much higher in the newer processors. Have to go with the manual. As it says, faults are less important than throughput. The more transactions for a set number of faults, the less the faults affect each transaction. So the measure is to take the total faults (DB & non-DB) / A->W state changes (transactions) * 60 - if THAT > 20 and increases with additional users, you MIGHT have a memory problem.

I used to think that hte best Work Management manual was the one for System/38 - it still has the most extensive explanation of lots of things - but things have changed - have to move along with them.

Last WM manual is for V4R5, still linked to at V5R2.

BTW, max recommended faults for interactive is 200! These are the guidelines that Performance Adjust uses.

Also, I recommend using the version of the WM manual for the release of OS/400 you are using - change, change, change!

Andy,

I'm not really trying to solve a problem. We are not using the performance
adjuster. All of Qinter runs in one pool - *INTERACT. My questions are the
result of a co-worker who states that if either the DB faults or NonDB fault
values ever goes above 20 then there is a problem with faulting. He's seems
to think the manual isn't relevant. I'm just looking for support that
there's more to measuring than just looking at the fault rates.
