Re: Interactive activity approaching capacity of installed feature

Depending upon your hardware & OS version, the machine has a certain
"interactive" cpw rating. IBM tunes the machine to not allow the interactive
processes to take over the machine or exceed that cpw. The warning is that
your approaching the limit or hitting the limit. When you hit it, everything
interactive gets slow.
The solution is varied.
a. memory can help if OS is having to constantly swap in/out programs.
b. more interactive cpw purchased (expensive)
c. Interactive processes that could be batch (submitted to jobq).
d. Application design.
Performance tools can tell you where the bottlenecks are.
In my experience, C & D are the biggest problems (unless A is under
recommendation.
