(1) Enable release-behind(RBRW) on the filesystems - datasets and scratch and re-mount the file systems across AIX server.This will let the system return the memory to the f...

We had raised a PMR earlier which is still open. It was suggested by PMR engineers(after adding multiple debug variables at project level and then running the jobs and collecting the log files and sharing with IBM support) that disk contention is causing slowness in 11.5.0.2, it was observed through...

Not yet. Disk re-configuration done. Separate volume groups created for all major file systems, with each volume group(VG) having non shareable SSD disks allocated. All file systems mounted over SAN. eg VG1 : /opt/IBM/InfomationServer (disk 1, disk 2) VG2 : /ETL/Datasets (disk 3, disk 4, disk 5, dis...

Tourist count at the time of slowness is ~15 and total number of jobs running in parallel at that time is around 15 to 20 with 25% of the jobs being multiple instance jobs.

If we leave the system as such at the time of slowness, the jobs used to run till completion, the only issue is that if any job which is supposed to finish in eg 30 minutes(baseline 9.1.2 run of same job against same data volume), it takes 10X more time in 11.5 Yes, at the time of slowness - multipl...
