Re: CRTDTAARA first time run each day after V7R4M0 installed

Not sure what all happens overnight. Not an IPL, probably some saves. The
job wait time is 30 seconds and my delays are all over the map, like I
said from 20 - 80 seconds. I don't see any locks in any of the programs in
the programs, but it also happens if I just create it using a command line
the first thing in the morning.

What kind of magic happens in that time period? Save? IPL? Exclusive
lock on the object from something related to your menu system? Change in
how 7.4 handles such an object lock? Does the time match the interval in
RTVJOBA DFTWAIT(&DFTWAIT)?

I tried looking at the exit points and get the following:

Exit
Exit Point
Point Format Registered Text
QIBM_QCA_CHG_COMMAND CHGC0100 *YES Change command exit programs
QIBM_QCA_RTV_COMMAND RTVC0100 *YES Retrieve command exit program

But none of this looks at CRTDTAARA.

I would not expect you to have issues with the speed today since it is the
first time creating it. Try again tomorrow when it already exists and see
if it delays.

Thanks

Very fast.

CRTDTAARA is running slow the first time it is called each day. The
only thing that seems different is that we upgraded to V7R4M0. Is
anyone else seeing this?

Here is how it works. Our menu program creates a data area with our
environment values every time it is called. We monitor for message
CPF1023 and just ignore it if it already exist (no big deal if it does
and it normally already exists for existing users).

The problem comes the first time I run the menu each day. Going
through debug it is always hung up on the CRTDTAARA command. I have
taken this a step further and just called this command from a command
line each day with the same results. This morning the command hung my
session for 80 seconds before the CPF1023 message came back. Every
other time I run it, the reply is instant.

Here is the command:

CRTDTAARA DTAARA(QGPL/BHAMREN) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) TEXT('Menu')

Like I said, when I call it from a command the first time each day it
hangs for a while (it has been from 15 - 80 seconds) before it comes
back with the message of "Data area BHAMREN exists in QGPL." Our menu
program monitors for this message but it still hangs up the first time
every day.
The odd thing is that I can sign off and sign back on later in the day
and there is no delay in the response. But the next day when I sign on
the delay is there again.

Can someone on a V7R4M0 machine create a data area and then try it
again the next day and see if there is a delay? Try it over a few days
even.

The only thing that we can see is the installation of the new
operating system, but maybe someone has seen this for a different reason.

Thanks!
