Re: Sluggish Performance

I recommend that you go into DST (SST in later releases?) and create some 
users, as needed. Then do not ever use QSECOFR - it is too easy to fat-finger 
this, and it gets disabled too easily. Besides, if there is auditing turned on, 
you now know who did what. And you can specify what rights each user has - 
remember, this is not the same user as the iSeries user profiles.

Are you on V5R3 or later? 

I fat fingered the Service Tools password once. Fortunately, there's a 
command that lets QSECOFR change the password: CHGDSTPWD. There should 
always be a User id of QSECOFR in Service Tools. This would probably be 
the one to change - if you're the Security Officer. And the 
recommendation is that the password not be the same for both. 


It is possible for a ST security officer to set-up users for selective 
functions.

Re: Sluggish Performance 






What do you mean by search on battery cache, how is that done?

Couple of things to start off with: 

Search on 'battery cache' in the archives. 

Also, double check your memory pool allocations (WRKSYSSTS, WRKSHRPOOL), 
perhaps when you added subsystems you also reallocates some memory from 
*BASE.

Subject: Sluggish Performance 

I've looked at the archives and tried some of the solutions there first 
before posting. 

We're experiencing very sluggish performance. Our CPU utilization is 
pretty low most of the time 20-30%. WRKDSKSTS reveals our I/O running 
40-60% Busy with gust to 80-100%. Actual job through put is pretty 
slow. 

This has happened recently all at once. We had added some new 
subsystems and the sluggish performance started. The slowdown caused us 
to take them out. We're still slow. I don't know if the subsystems had 
anything to do with the performance. 

Any ideas or things to check would be greatly appreciated.
