Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: statistics on a job using RUNSQLSTM`

Hi Alan

If you just execute the STRDBG command, then do anything SQL, there will be optimizer messages in the job log. These will tell you a little about how the system decided how to run the statements.

Better is Visual Explain - if you have ACS, it is part of that. There is a performance monitor, if you have the options of ACS installed.

If you have the older Access for i, I think you can set up a database monitor - you can do that in ACS, too - set it up on your job, then run RUNSQLSTM, your monitor will have stuff where you can analyze the statement and ultimately be able to get to Visual Explain.

Thanks for the reply Carl
How do you run RUNSQLSTM Zin debug mode?
Where is visual explain (or its newer implementation)

Perhaps run interactively in debug mode.

Then see the different messages in the joblog.

Or Visual Explain (otr its newer implementation).

Hi everyone
We are on V7r3

I have a job that uses SQL code contained in a text file using RUNSQLSTM
The RUNSQLSTM is submitted to run in batch (SBMJOB) and sometimes it runs in a really short time (a couple of minute or so)
Other times, it looks like its not moving

Is there any way of looking at this type of job and determining where its at or what is causing it to run slow
When I use work with job, the joblog tells me nothing, just the RUNSQLSTM
The call stack doesn't show me much
The same with open files
There are no locks
