    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Increased CPU usage in Chinit when      *
    *                      using SVRCONNs with SHARECNV greater    *
    *                      than zero with workload that frequently *
    *                      opens and closes queues.                *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    When a SVRCONN channel is using shared conversations and is
    frequently opening and closing queues, additional storage for
    control blocks is regularly obtained and released. While this is
    correct behavior, applications that perform a large number of
    queue open and close operations may find that the additional
    overhead of this storage management begins to have an impact on
    Chinit performance exhibiting high CPU in IGVGPVT.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Some control blocks associated with opening and closing queues
    have been moved to z/OS cellpools to improve efficiency.
