				Hello,
 
 
       ( 1)  Buffers more than Pages better or vice versa? Anyone can shed some light.
 
       ( 2)  I have been trying to map qmgr started tasks - MSTR & CHIN real storage and the buffer alloted but it does not seem to match. My query: is my comparsion correct? If not, why?
 
               From SDSF;DA
 
               JOBNAME   TYPE  JNUM  POS DP  REAL  PAGING
 
               MQE3MSTR STC   2499  NS   F9  1179   0.00
 
               MQE3CHIN  STC   2500  NS   F9  601    0.00
 
 
               In MQE3, using display usage:
 
               Page Buffer   Total
 
               set    pool     pages
 
               _  0   0        10078
 
               _  1   0        10078
 
               _  2   1        10078
 
               _  3   2        10078
 
               _  4   3        10078
 
              Buffer pool 0 has 5000 buffers
 
              Buffer pool 1 has 10000 buffers
 
              Buffer pool 2 has 12000 buffers
 
              Buffer pool 3 has 15000 buffers
 
      ( 3)  From SDSF;DA, total real storage approx  (1179 + 601) 1800 frames, while total buffer = 42000.
 
             Pls advise.
 
             Thank you.

There is no right answer that doesn't involve not putting user object in page 0. The Performance Redbooks will guide you on tuning issues. Enjoy.

Why? Are you having performance issues? If not, why do you care? If so,  use standard system facilities to track resource usage & consult with your sys prog.

See above

I advise you to look at the z/OS documentation, not just the MQ stuff, concerning tuning & resource usage. I also advice you to post this sort of thing in the Mainframe section!

				Pageset 0 holds object definitions on DASD.  Pagesets 1-x hold messages on DASD.  To effectively size your pagesets, you will need to understand your applications, their message size and quantity, growth over time, and which are short-lived (in virtual storage) and which are long-lived (will reside on DASD).
 
 
Buffers hold messages and log images in virtual storage on their way to DASD.  To effectively size your buffers, you will need to understand message size and flow, short- vs. long-lived messages - pretty much the same issues as above. Too few buffers drives more I/Os to DASD.  
 
 
The technical (math) issues are documented in the MQ Concepts and Plannaing manual, and the System Setup manual. |
