Re: something is eating my iseries resources, but im not sure how to find it.

We have a lot of co-workers who show up around the same time each day (near
8 am), and depart en mass in the mid afternoon, early evening. As they do
so, there is a wave of sign-ons, sign-offs that impact performance. There
is another spike when many people go to lunch at same time. You might check
to see if the performance hit times are consistent with a personnel timing
issue.

When someone SAYS the system was slow, could you ask them WHAT they were
doing on the system when they noticed that? There can be individual
programs that need fixing, or people doing things interactively that ought
to go on JOBQ.

At various times during the day the system comes to a crawl. I do a
wrkactjob, but it doesn't show anything. I just purchased
performance tools, but not sure how to set it up to find the hog(s).

Is there a way that the system could tell me what job/processs/etc
is slowing us down? Im guessing I have to have this monitor run all
day long. I just don't know what to run and how to find the problem.

Any suggestions would be great.
