Re: memory pools

Is it always slow or intermittent slow?
What is your system value QPFRADJ ?
your snapshot of wrksyssts is for 5 hours and 36 minutes.
A better look at peak "slow period" would be a few minutes.
F10 will reset the statistics time over, then F5 to refresh screen

Everyone,

We have been receiving complaints from users that the system is slow for approximately one month. None of us are tuning specialists, so directions to the manual must be specific.

Here is the System Status screen:

Work with System Status BOISE 01/25/07 15:35:51

Pool 1,3, & 4 are set to Calc, pool 5 is static.

As you can see below, most of our subsystems are in pool 2. Byteme (programmers sybsystem) and QINTER are shown in 2 & 4. QUSRWRK is in pool 2. We have been busy beavers and have nearly 80 jobs running in QUSRWRK (socket servers that are in TIMW mostly).

Our interactive users are fussing that things are running slowly. There are 60 to 80 interactive users. We have an enterprise box, model 810, 7406 processor feature.

Do we need to reassign where pools are ? Maybe get another chip of memory ?

Suggestions welcome.
