Hi,

I am sure there are a lot of opportunities to improve the performance of the application once is working on and also save costs.

VEry recently I gave a proposal to change my present compiler version from COBOL2 to ENT COBOL as this would save considerable cost, more so because all other applications except mine use ENT COBOL.

The backup jobs in my application were taking backups of all available files inspite of having probably done so the previous week. So same files which had not been modified were getting backed up repeatedly. The Reference Date check should take care of this and improve the performance of the jobs considerably.

The other possible performance tuning option is to get the SORT step out of the program into the JCL if possible.

Is there any link to find out more such possible options of proposals and perfromance tuning? Will appreciate any help.

Thanks

Don't know about a link, but one of the best performance enhancements I have ever seen is BLSR for KSDS VSAM. In jobs where there is a lot of random processing, use of this facility can have an amazing impact on processing times.

I have seen jobs that were taking hours to run go to running in minutes. All that is required is some fairly simple JCL changes.

Hi,

Do you have any link on BLSR? I gave a search in the VSAM Reference manual and did not get any hit.

Thanks

abracadabra,

*sigh* A simple search for "tuning" in the application programming forum could have answered your query
