RE: QESECARE job

Not really. The only Google hits right now are still my blog and the
midrange-l archives.

(Insert rant about documentation)

I've found that QESECARE usually runs longer after applying PTFs, or
changing the hardware configuration. So I would assume that it gathers
statistics and information about the system, which is then sent to IBM
together with the PTF order (the batching-together of this is probably
done because some legacy installations are still using a modem to
connect their ESA to ECS).

I've never had any issues with it, except that when it ran it consumed
all the IO and CPU the 520/515 machines had - I figured that was only an
issue because we're running the low end of IBMs spectrum.

Yeah, that's the only mention i've found about it... I think his posting
mentions it, but he hadn't found out what the job was all about.

Did you ever find out anymore info on the QESECARE job Lukas?

We just recently updated our V5R3 cume to C7121, and soon after doing
so noticed that SNDPTFORD is behaving differently. We now have a job
that kicks off and runs at a high CPU usage for over 5 minutes called

'QESECARE'

- the SNDPTFORD seems to hang until this job has run for a while.

While testing the situation I ended the QESECARE job and found that
the SNDPTFORD picked up and completely quickly at the point the
QESECARE job ended.

I can't find mention of QESECARE anywhere on IBM's knowledge base...
does anyone know what it does?
