IBM® MQ for z/OS system considerations

The z/OS® system is an area that requires examination when investigating performance problems.

You might already be aware that your z/OS system is under stress because these problems affect many subsystems and applications.

You can use the standard monitoring tools such as Resource Monitoring Facility ( RMF ) to monitor and diagnose these problems. They might include:
  • Constraints on storage (paging)
  • Constraints on processor cycles
  • Constraints on DASD
  • Channel path usage

Use normal z/OS tuning techniques to resolve these problems.
