UBEs and CPU time

Hi,

Just wondering how could we restrict a UBE on the AS/400 from utilizing more than 'x' percentage of the CPU? We are on E810 SP 8.93.J1 on AS/400 V5R2M0.

Thanks

Hi!

There is a work management setting to set the max on the CPU usage, but once that max is reached, job would be ended. This setting is controlled by the CPUTIME keyword on the class object (CHGCLS command). I do not recommend this option since it would mean that your UBE would potentially not complete all the work it’s supposed to.

If you have a single processor, you can change time slice and priority of the job to have system give it less processing time. This would throttle down job’s CPU allocation to possibly acceptable levels.

Can I ask you how many processors you have, if you have SMP installed and if UBE is running SQL?

We have a single processor and have UBEs running SQL.

Thanks for your help.
