Batch Workloads
 Mixed batch workload of short and long running UBEs
►
Short running UBEs have increased job initiation and termination activity and associated resources
►
Long running UBEs have heavier CPU utilization for calculations
 CPU utilization increased from 69% to 85% as batch load increased
 Batch job throughput of 47 UBEs/minute while maintaining excellent record throughput
 At high CPU utilization, long running UBE throughput diminished
►
This is the desired result as short running UBEs have end-users waiting on response
►
System prefers short running UBEs based on setting higher priority for batch queue

Boosting Performance with Solid State Drives
 Solid State Performance White Paper
►
http://www03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP102061
 In this paper we see how solid state improved the performance of a
couple of UBEs
►
Pre-Payroll (R07200) improved over 50%
►
MRP (R3483) improved approximately 10%
 Discusses approach for identifying areas where solid state drives
can best leveraged

Updated Tuning Guides
 IBM i Power WebSphere Tuning Guide
►
►
►
Updated version of WP101777
● http://www03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP101777
Updated to include WebSphere 7 and to remove WebSphere 6 (which is
end of life)
New section discussing FRCA (Fast Response Cache Accelerator)
● FRCA creates a cache for static HTML content which is managed by the
operating system instead of the HTTP server
● This will be most useful in large environments with heavier HTTP traffic
● In general today’s internet browsers do a pretty good job of caching
static content, but there are cases where this may not be case and then
more pressure is put on the HTTP server.
– Specific browser settings prevent or limit caching
– A large number of users who infrequently access the system

Updated Tuning Guides
 IBM i Power Enterprise Server Tuning Guide
►
Updated version of WP101504
►
● http://www03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP101504
● Updated to include IBM i 7.1
New sections
● SQL Package ini setting
– Re-emphasizing the importance of this setting
– Determines whether UBEs create new SQL packages or reuse them
– This was found to have a big performance impact in environments
with lots of short running UBEs.
● Controlling the subsystem that QSQSRVR jobs run in
– By default these jobs always run in *BASE
– There are some cases, where you may want more control either the
priority of the jobs or the amount of memory that the SQL uses
● Adjusting the priorities of batch jobs
21

Batch Priority Adjustments
 Using a priority scheme for batch jobs
►
Allow you to run lower priority jobs during the day
►
Ensure that specific day time reports have priority over other jobs
 Lab Testing
►
A long running UBE queue was set to run at priority 60
►
A short running UBE queue and a second long running UBE queue
remained at the default priority 50
 Lab Results
22
►
The number of short running jobs processed per hour increase by 27%
►
The priority 50 long running jobs ran about 6% faster
© 2012 IBM Corporation
IBM Oracle ICC
Batch Priority Adjustments
 Process to do this on the i
►
Create new subsystem (CRTSBSD)
● CRTSBSD SBS(QBATCH60)
►
Create new class (CRTCLS or CRTDUPOBJ)
►
Create a new job queue
● CRTJOBQ QBATCH60
►
Change the run priority in new class
● CHGCLS QBATCH60 RUNPTY(60)
►
Add the job queue to the new subsystem
● ADDJOBQE SBSD(QBATCH60) JOBQ(QBATCH60)
►
Add a routing entry to the new subsystem which uses the new class
● ADDRTGE SBSD(QBATCH60) SEQNBR(9999) CMPVAL(*ANY)

Batch Priority Adjustments
►
Steps in EnterpriseOne
● Options for sending work to the new job queue
– Change the default queue
– Create a new version or change the versions to use new job queues
in OMW
– Use the new job queue in your scheduler
– Specify the new job queue in the RUNUBE command
– Override the job queue at submission time
