THIS ASM PROGRAM IS ASSEMBLED AND LINK-EDITED INTO A LOAD MODULE

THAT IS NAMED CICSIFUE THAT IS STORED IN A LOAD LIBRARY DATASET

THAT IS CONCATENATED TO THE //STEPLIB DD STATEMENT IN YOUR MXGSASVN

JCL PROCEDURE. THE LOAD MODULE IS A SAS INFILE EXIT.

1) %LET SMFEXIT=CICS;

2) FILENAME SMF 'dsname of dataset' ENGINE=CICS;

DATA X; INFILE SMF; INPUT ...

3) DATA X; INFILE SMF CICS; INPUT ....

THAT FIRST %LET STATMENT CAN BE PLACED IN THE "IMACKEEP" MEMBER

IN YOUR USERID.SOURCLIB TAILORING LIBRARY, OR IT CAN BE PLACED IN

THE //SYSIN DD STREAM AS THE FIRST STATEMENT..

EXITCICS decompresses CICS 110, 112, and DB2 100, 101, and 102 records.

19. The INTERNAL SAS algorithm on z/OS is VERY CPU intensive

(and it takes a long time, too!). DFH$MOLS and read UNCOMP

only slightly slower than reading COMPRESSED+EXIT, BUT

uncompressed file needs nearly 5 times the disk space.

I/O activity with DFH$MOLS (read comp, write uncomp, read

took six times the EXCPs and four times the IOTM (Connect Time)

Reading of the compressed file with the EXITCICS exit is best.

On Windows/ascii platforms, SAS Infile Exits do not exist.

Only two ways to process compressed CICS data on ASCII:

a. Use DFH$MOLS first to uncomp file and read UNCOMP.

c. Use MXG's internal algorithm to read COMP NO EXIT.

20. SAS Version Requirements information:

MXG 26.03 thru MXG 29.06 will execute under SAS Version 9.3, on

all supported platforms, but SAS Hot Fix SN43828 is REQUIRED.

MXG 26.03 thru MXG 29.06 will execute under SAS V9.2, or with

SAS V9.1.3 with Service Pack 4, on all supported SAS platform.

SAS Hot Fix for SAS Note 37166 is required to use a VIEW with

the MXG EXITCICS/CICSFIUE CICS/DB2 Decompression Infile Exit.

And, only for z/OS 1.10 with SAS V9.1.3 with ANY version of MXG,

the SAS Hot Fix for SN-35332 is REQUIRED (to be completely safe).

Old MXG code may continue to execute with SAS V8.2, but V8 is now

"Level B" support from SAS Institute, and there are known errors

in V8.2 that are only fixed in SAS V9. I no longer QA with V8.2;

While many MXG programs (accidentally) will still execute under

V8.2, I can not guarantee that all of MXG executes error free.

21. Install of SAS V9.2 for z/OS is rumored to be difficult,

BUT BY following the SAS Install Instructions at:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/443mlpd

upload and install of the (7.5 GB) z/OS SAS/BASE took 2 hours

BUT ONLY if everything needed is already in place!).

Size of the depot between 5GB and 17GB depending on products

SAS Depot will be uploaded to a ZFS filesystem

z/OS restriction of 4GB for size of normal zFS mount point

Need authority to define a larger zFS mount point

Either must be created with the SMS Data Class EXTENDED attribute.

Need two zFS directories of 5GB to 17GB because 2nd SASHOME

But, one last note, do NOT use that EXTENDED attribute for the Data

Class of your SAS Data Libraries on z/OS; it is not supported due

to SAS's use of the EXCP access method.

22. Using MicroSoft Security Essential, MSE, causes various errors     the MXG QA job is run, never at the same place in the job:

       ERROR: File Deletion Failed For MXGSUM1  (after 293 succeeded)

ERROR: An I/O error occurred on file WORK._tf6737.UTILITY

ERROR: Rename of temporary member WORK.OPTVAR.DATA failed.

    BUT BY disabling MSE Settings to:      -exclude the SAS.EXE process, and      -exclude files *.sas7bdat and

    -exclude the c:\qa directory, where all output is written, &       -exclude the c:\sastemp "WORK" directory.

were both errors were eliminated, with WINDOWS 7 64 bit.

“SAS NOTE: Do not run your antivirus software in real-time mode.

OR be sure to exclude the following file types from your

virus scan: SAS* LCK* UTL* “

23. Issue open with SAS Institute and Microsoft since Feb, 2010; In October, a new MicroSoft "Senior Escalation Engineer" attempted resolution, providing instructions to install several MicroSoft diagnostics tools that either failed to initialize or failed to capture the event data, including runs with TTTracer that generated over 85 GigaBytes of trace (how do you send a file that big??)

that still did not capture anything of use to MS.

Nov 2010: 14 MicroSoft updates auto installed, error went away.

MS engineer was unable to identify why the error disappeared.

Moral: Disable MSE for SAS.

MAY 2011: WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE AUTOINSTALL SP1 REINSTATED ERRORS.

DISABLING MSE REAL TIME SCAN WAS REQUIRED TO RUN QA.

USING MSE SETTINGS (process/dir/file) DID NOT CIRCUMVENT.

ADDITIONALLY: RUN SAS AS ASMINISTRATOR MAY BE REQUIRED WITH SP1.

ERROR: User does not have appropriate authorization level for      library C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAS\SASFOUNDATION\9.2

(to write qasas.log and qasas.lst files).

24.

JCLSIMPL and JCLSPxxx examples use UTILBLDP/BLDSMPDB and

are THE now-recommended z/OS jobs for a "SIMPLE" BUILDPDB

or the "SPLIT SMF" family of "BUILDPDB" jobs.

JCLSIMPL creates a "simple", PDB library, with one job

that reads the SMF file, showing how to add an SMF record

and invoking all of the default ASUMxxxx members to build

a "single", default PDB data library from raw SMF data.

You could do the same with BUILDPDB and the EXPDBxxx exit

members, but these more recent utility macros are now the

recommended way to build/tailor a simple BUILDPDB:

UTILBLDP - defines what data is to be created in a PDB

you can add, subtract, or change what's kept

by each of these jobs using UTILBLDP to create

a specific suit of MXG datasets in a PDB

built from SMF data records.

BLDSMPDB - flexible job manager creates day/week/etc

PDBs using the UTILBLDP execution preceding

its invocation to define the PDB contents.

Will process non-SMF data records.

25. JCLSPxxx is a family of jobs to read "split" subsets of

SMF and other data records to parallelize the BUILDPDB,

using the above+ UTILBLDP and BLDSMPDB members:

JCLSPGDG - run once to create GDGs, and then never again

unless there is a need to alter a GDG base or

to change dataset names..

JCLSPLIT - first job in daily stream - standalone -

splits the daily SMF into pieces for

subsequent processing

SMF.ALL - All SMF for archive

SMF.CICS - SMF 110.1

SMF.DB2 - SMF 101/102

SMF.IO - SMF 14/15/42/61/65/66/74/240/241

SMF.MQ - SMF 115/116

SMF.SPLITPDB - All other SMF records

JCLSPSMA/JCLSPSMB/JCLSPSMC/JCLSPSMD/JCLSPSME can be run

concurrently to process the split SMF files:

26. Family of jobs to read the SPLIT SMF files:

JCLSPSMA - Read only CICS SMF 110.1, create:

JCLSPSMB - Read only DB2 SMF 101/102, create:

JCLSPSMC - Read only I/O records, create:

JCLSPSMD - Read only MQ records, create:

JCLSPSME - Read all remaining SMF, create:

JCLSPOTH - DCOLLECT, TMC.

JCLSPUOW - after JCLSPLTA and JCLSPLTB have run,

build PDB.ASUMUOW from CICSTRAN and DB2ACCT,

build PDB.CICS from PDB.ASUMUOW.

JCLSPCPY - Copies these datasets into PDB library:

ASUMCACH CICS ASUMUOW ASUMDB:

Configuration and Tuning Guidelines for SAS®9 in the

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Operating Environment

The monitoring tool that SAS recommends is the Performance Monitor (PerfMon) tool from Microsoft that comes with the Windows operating system. Hundreds of performance counters are associated with this tool, but from a SAS perspective, only the following subset of PerfMon objects and their associated counters is of primary interest:

Cache– o Data Flush Pages/sec– o Dirty Pages– o Fast Read Not Possible/sec– o Fast Read Resource Misses/sec– o Lazy Write Pages/sec– o Read Aheads/sec

Client-Side Caching– o Application Bytes Read from Cache– o Application Bytes Read from Server (Not Cached)

28. COMPARISON OF z/VM MONWRITE AND z/OS RMF CPU TIMINGS

MONWRITE DATA FROM 2 Z/VM LPARS AND RMF 70 LPAR DATA FOR THE 4 IFLS

(SMF70CIN=IFL data for both the "IFL LPAR" and "IFL PHYSICAL") was

compared for 23 hours of matching data. The RMF "IFL BUSY" time was

87.31 hours (so the IFLs were busy 94.7% of those 23 hours).

Those 87.31 hours of IFL BUSY time is 5239 minutes, and MONWRITE

captured 5182 minutes (98.9%) of that hardware busy time. And of

the 57 minutes not captured in MONWRITE, 49 minutes were the z/OS

IFL Management Time. Or, MONWRITE captured all but 7 minutes of the

5189 minutes of the "Effective Dispatch Time" recorded by z/OS.

COMPARISON OF RMF 70 IFL CPU TIME AND MONWRITE CPU TIME

VMCPU = MONWRITE CPU (PFXUTIME+PFXSYSTM)

IFLACTTM = RMF Partition CPU Dispatch Time, SMF70CIN='IFL'

(both LPAR and PHYSICAL for IFL)

DIFF = IFLACTTM minus VMCPU

LCPUMGTM = LCPUPDTM minus LCPUEDTM

LCPUPDTM = Logical/Physical LPAR Partition Dispatch CPU Time

LCPUEDTM = Logical/Physical LPAR Effective Dispatch CPU Time

(hours 0-8 removed to fit, totals are for 23 hours)

29. MONWRITE DOES NOT PROVIDE SYNCHRONIZED INTERVAL RECORDS (YET???).

The below procedure is only run a IPL time or any situation the

requires a recycle. This procedure holds the Monitor START command

until the next hour boundary, wih the hour padded with a zero if

had only one digit, as the WAKEUP command doesn't support a single

digit hour.

/* Make the monitor intervals start on the hour */

'CP MONITOR STOP'

Parse value time('N') with hh ':' mm ':' ss .

hh=hh+1 /*Wait for the next hour*/

If ss=59 then mm=mm+1 /*May need a bit more time*/

If mm>60 then do /*Overflow to the hour*/

mm=mm-60

hh=hh+1

end

If hh<10 then hh = '0'hh

'WAKEUP' hh':00:00' /*Wait*/

'CP MONITOR START' /*Start the monitor*/
