Re: High Memory Utilization Alert

Hi Pete,
 
 Just wanted to confirm,if 'High Memory Utilization' is something which could refer to paging/faulting for shared pools. Any idea

Hi,
 
Please can anyone help me with this.
 
Can the memory utilization by particular job cross the 100% mark for uncapped partitions.
 
I am confused here since the DASD stands at a low of 55% only so not sure what the alert 'Memory Utilization at 87%' means.?
 
Is it concerned with paging and faulting?Can these temporary spikes harm the system?

Since this has been sitting for a while, I'll take a swing at it.

What's the message ID? and where did you see it? Is there second level
information with that message? (F1 with the cursor over the message)
Messages like this really usually explain themselves if you look at them
carefully and do what they tell you. Google can help too, once you have
more information.

That said, I've not seen this particular message. Maybe I'm lucky.
However, the one I have seen with similar wording is regarding DASD.
That can definitely damage your system. If heap space is allocated to
87% of main storage??? No idea.
