Improve AOT backup performance

We're using IDAA loader V 2.1 to run backups for very huge AOTs. When IDAA loader takes a backup from an IDAA AOT it uses SQL multirow fetch to transfer the data from IDAA into a z/OS sequential file. This may work fine for small AOTs. But in our ...

Limit Priority Over Time and Max User Priority by Queue

There are user workflows that require using priority to order flows and their execution. However, when priority over time is enabled, those methods break down. Using Priority Over Time to APS and Priority Queues is essential, but causes issues in ...

Affinity scheduling must take L3 cache hierarchy into account

Newer CPUs have multiple L3 caches, with dedicated cores per L3 cache. Running multi-threaded jobs on all cores within a shared L3 cache can reduce runtime in our cases up 70%, compared to running over multiple L3 caches. Think of the AMD EPYC 935...

Issue different return code when no rows loaded

We have an IDAA loader job that disables the table prior to the load to IDAA. Upon successful load of # rows, Loader will end with RC = 0 and enable the table for acceleration again. If the same process is run multiple times and results in "no row...

MC scheduling enhancement to enable multiple LSF clusters with same clustername

I think there is bug in how LSF implements multi-cluster functionality. It assumes clustername as uniq/primary key in the list of participating clusters and we still have few LSF clusters with same name - cluster1 (site1), cluster1 (site2), cluste...

add message at EOJ with jobs/load stats

Currently in loader job output the stats of the job /table / load times are displayed. I would like for them to be in a message that we can use to automate stats on loads. example: “HLxxxxI Job J9I75275 Full table, number of rows: 610254877, amoun...

Expand API (or bjobs -o option) to report memory reservation on a per-job basis

Determining per-job memory usage is valuable, but we also need to be able to see, on a per-job basis, how much memory job(s) have reserved at a point in time. Partly we need to be able to compare to the actual memory use to see if they're over-res...

HLOMAINT utility enhancement request

Today, HLOMAINT utility is not designed to find out what utilities are stuck or dead. To clean up those loader utilities, we run a SELECT * against HLOTB.HLOUSTAT table, review each utility, and run the HLOMAINT job to terminate the utilities one ...

Map memory reservation to cgroup memory.low

Mapping the memory reservation of a job to the cgroup memory.low could protect jobs from running short on memory, while in parallel allowing more memory to be used if it's available. The soft limit instead of a hard limit should prevent users to b...
