Re: CRTDTAARA first time run each day after V7R4M0 installed

I recreated the data area. I'll try it again in the morning.

Suggest you try this in the morning:

TRCJOB SET(*ON)
CRTDTAARA...
TRCJOB SET(*OFF) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
WRKPTFGRP While in there hit F6 to print.
DSPPTF OUTPUT(*PRINT)
DSPJOBLOG OUTPUT(*PRINT)
Use iACS to download all these spool files. If you had the job schedule
entry, add that also.
Zip them together.
Create a case at support.ibm.com and upload that file
At 7.4 it's a pretty safe bet you have support.

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

Tried this also:

dltDTAARA DTAARA(QGPL/BHAMREN)

Object BHAMREN in QGPL type *DTAARA deleted.

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

Data area BHAMREN created in library QGPL.

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

Data area BHAMREN exists in QGPL.

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!
