ZIIP |
|
|
This system command applies to z/OS batch, batch servers, Com-plete, CICS, TSO and IMS TM environments that support the use of the IBM System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP). Prerequisite: The required Natural for zIIP product(s) must be installed at your site.
If this system command is issued from a different environment and/or without zIIP support enabled, and/or if the required Natural for zIIP product is not installed, appropriate error messages occur.
The ZIIP system command provides status and
processing information on the zIIPs used in your environment and the license
file required for the Natural for zIIP product installed at your site. In
addition, you can obtain statistics on the Natural components that cause
switches to the general central processor (GCP) and manage the component switch
counting.
For detailed information on zIIP support, usage and monitoring, refer to the Natural for zIIP documentation.

This section describes the reports and statistical data provided by
the ZIIP system
command.
The zIIP Processing Information report looks similar to the example below:
+---------------- zIIP Processing Information ---------------+ | | | Advanced zIIP Support Enabled | | | | General central processors (GPs) 6 | | Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs) 1 | | zIIP SMT threads 2 | | zIIP normalization factor 10.98 | | | | Switches into TCB mode 1590303 | | SRB starts 80 | | | | Total enclave CPU time 01:00:56.411 (100.00%) | | Enclave GP time 00:12:38.305 (20.74%) | | Enclave zIIP time 00:48:18.106 (79.26%) | | | | Eligible zIIP CPU time 00:48:22.619 (100.00%) | | Enclave zIIP time 00:48:18.106 (99.84%) | | Eligible zIIP time on GP 00:00:04.513 (0.16%) | | | | (zIIP times normalized) | | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------+ |
If the z/OS system parameter PROJECTCPU=YES is set and no zIIPs are configured to the current logical partition, the report looks similar to the example below:
+--------------- zIIP Processing Information ---------------+ ! ! ! Advanced zIIP Support Enabled (PROJECTCPU) ! ! ! ! General central processors (GPs) 2 ! ! Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs) 0 ! ! ! ! zIIP normalization factor 0.00 ! ! ! ! Switches into TCB mode 938 ! ! SRB starts 6 ! ! ! ! Total enclave CPU time 00:00:06.091 (100.00%) ! !

This report provides the following status and processing information:
| Report Item | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Advanced zIIP Support Enabled | Indicates that the current Natural session runs with full zIIP enablement. |
| General central processors (GPs) | The number of GPs running under your z/OS system. |
| Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs) | The number of zIIPs running under your z/OS system. |
| zIIP SMT threads | The number of logical zIIPs running under your z/OS system if SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) is active. |
| zIIP normalization factor | The zIIP normalization factor indicates
the ratio of zIIP to GP speed.
This factor tells you how fast your zIIP runs compared
to a throttled GP with reduced power. In the example above, the value of
|
| Switches into TCB mode | The number of switches from SRB (service request block) into TCB (task control block) processing mode due to any system service calls that had to be issued. The corresponding switches back into SRB mode are not counted. |
| SRB starts | The number of times an SRB process was
started.
The counter is incremented by 1 for the first SRB at each session start and for the SRB restart after an abnormal termination in SRB mode. |
| Total enclave CPU time | The total CPU time (GP plus zIIP) consumed by the Natural WLM enclave. |
| Enclave GP time | The total GP time consumed within the Natural WLM enclave. |
| Enclave zIIP time | The total zIIP time consumed within the Natural WLM enclave. |
| Eligible zIIP CPU time | The total CPU time qualified for zIIP. |
| Eligible zIIP time on GP | The CPU time within the Natural WLM
enclave on the GP qualified for zIIP but not used by it.
A non-zero value means that zIIP-eligible workload could not be offloaded because no zIIP was available. |
For details on the statistics items, refer to Natural zIIP Processing: TCBs, SRBs and Enclaves and Calculating the CPU Time in the Natural for zIIP documentation.
For hints on improving zIIP exploitation, refer to Tuning zIIP Usage in the Natural for zIIP documentation.

The Roll Server zIIP Information report looks similar to the example below:
+------------- Roll Server zIIP Information -------------+ ! ! ! Roll Server zIIP CPU Time Usage in Subsystem QA82 ! ! Job Name QAROLL82 ! ! ! ! Total WLM enclave CPU time .... 387524 ! ! Qualified zIIP CPU time ....... 387252 ! ! Eligible zIIP CPU time on GCP 133 ! ! Total WLM enclave zIIP CPU time 387119 ! ! Total WLM enclave zIIP CPU time (%) 99.89 ! ! ! ! (All times in milliseconds; zIIP times normalized.) ! ! ! +--------------------------------------------------------+ |
This report provides the following status and processing information:
| Report Item | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Total WLM enclave CPU time | The total CPU (GCP plus zIIP) time consumed by the current WLM enclave. |
| Qualified zIIP CPU time | The time qualified for zIIP usage on SRB, which is the sum of the eligible plus the total zIIP CPU time. |
| Eligible zIIP CPU time on GCP | The CPU time on the GCP qualified for a
zIIP but not used by it.
A non-zero value means that zIIP-eligible workload could not be offloaded because no zIIP was available. |
| Total WLM enclave zIIP CPU time | The total zIIP CPU time consumed by the current WLM enclave. |
| Total WLM enclave zIIP CPU time (%) | The percentage of the total zIIP CPU time consumed by the current WLM enclave. In the example above, Natural was able to offload 99.88 % of the total CPU load to a zIIP. |
The zIIP Component Switch Statistics report lists all non-zero TCB switches and the components that cause these switches as shown in the following example:

Components are service routines of the Natural nucleus, Natural
add-on products or other Software AG products (for example, Adabas) that cause
TCB switches when executing, for example, Adabas calls or external
CALLNAT requests. The report contains the following:
The code of the product (for example, NAT for
Natural) to which the component belongs,
The name and description of the component,
The number of switches per component,
The percentage of the component switches,
The indicator P set for component switches that
can be influenced by a parameter, and
The total number of component switches.
