RE: [SYS21] WRKSYSACT

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, sorry.  Every AS/400 I have been on has had WRKSYSACT and I keep forgetting 
it is an add on.

IMO it should be part of the base OS, it is that useful.

I think we all agreed that you will need Performance Monitor to get 
WRKSYSACT... Have not heard of FAST/400...

Thanks all...

Yes I recall folks talking about WRKSYSACT in an earlier discussion on 
compiling interactively. I'm still in the process of obtaining that command (no 
duals here). Hopefully it's available as part of software subscription.

Speaking of govenors, anyone using or familiar with FAST/400?

Instead of using WRKACTJOB, use WRKSYSACT (Work System Activity) which will 
show all jobs.

You should notice a job called CFINT01 taking up a *lot* of CPU time when this 
happens.  Normally, CFINT01 takes up minimal CPU time, 1.3 or so, but when the 
governor kicks in it eats up tremendous amounts of CPU time, I've seen it up to 
like 87% CPU.

Understand, all CFINT01 is doing at those times is wasting CPU cycles so you 
can't use 'em.  This is the dreaded "governor".
