Monitoring Jobs with high CPU

[Ian Chadd]

Hi everyone,

Sometimes user's interactive jobs fail on the PC side but leave a session
open on the AS400, this in turn causes the Total CPU to rise dramatically.
I would like monitor for jobs which reach a certain CPU limit, does anyone
know how this could be done.

Many thanks
Ian.

it depends :

if you don't want to use API's issue a

"wrkActJob OUTPUT(*print) RESET(*yes)
SBS(<yourSbs>) CPUPCTLMT(<yourLimit>) SEQ(*cpuPct)

read back the spool file and process the jobs

on the other hand there are API's for that
QUSLJOB / QGYOLJOB

goto http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/v4r4eng.htm
then categories and then work management API's.

This failure is generally down to the program on the AS/400 not monitoring
for a device failure and so goes into a 'loop' using up large amounts of CPU
when the session is ended abnormally. ( A very common problem)

If I remember correctly, there is a system value that controls what action
to take on failed devices - QDEVRCYAC. The default setting ( I think) is
*MSG which simply messages the session and causes the loop. If you set this
to *ENDJOB the job will be forced to end and this should stop the problem.
