Adabas 8.3 ADARUN Parameter Enhancements

This section describes the ADARUN Parameter enhancements made with Adabas for zIIP Version 8.3 SP5.

For more information about any ADARUN parameter, read Adabas Initialization (ADARUN Statement) in the Adabas documentation.

ZIIP: Enable zIIP Usage

This release introduces a new ADARUN parameter called ZIIP. This parameter controls whether or not Adabas activates the selectable unit Adabas for zIIP (AZPAD). Valid values are YES or NO; NO is the default.

This parameter is valid for z/OS operating environments only.

For complete information about the ZIIP parameter, read ZIIP Parameter: Activate Usage of Adabas for zIIP.

Entire Net-Work 6.4 Operator Command Enhancements

This section describes the operator command enhancements made in Entire Net-Work Version 6.4.

DISPLAY STATS Command

With Entire Net-Work Version 6.4, the DISPLAY STATS operator command also displays the current value of the ZIIP parameter, as well as zIIP-related statistics.

For more information, refer to the example for DISPLAY STATS in the description of the DISPLAY Command.

DISPLAY ZSTATS Command

With Entire Net-Work for zIIP Version 6.4, the DISPLAY ZSTATS operator command also displays the current value of the ZIIP parameter, as well as zIIP-related statistics.

For more information, refer to the example for DISPLAY ZSTATS in the description of the DISPLAY Command.

SET ZIIP Command

Entire Net-Work for zIIP Version 6.4, introduces the SET ZIIP operator command. Use this command to turn on or off the use of System z Integrated Information Processors (zIIP) in the Entire Net-Work kernel.

Issuing SET ZIIP=YES will tell the Entire Net-Work kernel to run in SRB mode whenever possible, enabling the use of zIIPs. Issuing ZIIP=NO will tell the Entire Net-Work kernel to always run in TCB mode, using only general processors.

The ZIIP operator command may only be used in an Entire Net-Work session that was started with ADARUN parameter ZIIP=YES.

For more information, refer to SET ZIIP Command.

zIIP-Related Session Statistics

Entire Net-Work for zIIP prints extensive statistics about its execution in SRB mode and TCB mode and about the CPU time consumed on System z Integrated Information Processors (zIIP) and general central processors (GCP), both at session termination and for the DISPLAY STATS operator command.

For details on the zIIP-related statistics, see the section Monitoring zIIP Usage in the new Entire Net-Work for zIIP documentation.

Documentation Enhancements

Information on the basic concepts around zIIP processing can be found in the new Entire Net-Work for zIIP documentation.
