WRKACTJOB

[ranman76]

When I call Work Active Jobs, the CPU% doesn't equal the CPU% in the subsystem/job list. Is there a way that I can get it to show all the the activity so I can see what is eating up my CPU%.

ranman76,

Try WRKSYSACT (if you have the authority). Only 1 user can run this at a time.

What library is that in? I am running V5R1 and not recognizing it with my current library list.

That appears to be a part of the performance tools. We don't have access to that either. iSeriesCodePoet

if you want to know what is using up your CPU, just WRKACTJOB and then move your cursor over to the CPU column and press F4, this will sort the column in descending order, with the process using the most CPU at the top. You can see more detailed CPU info by pressing F11.

OK, its not great but it is more easily accessible than WRKSYSACT.

This is actually what I have been doing. However when you sort by the CPU% it does not add up to the amount shown in the total field. Do you have any other ideas?

On our system (V4R5), wrksysact shows a job called CFINT01. This is IBM's way of eating up resources. This doesn't show when you do wkractjob (at least not on my screen). As you interactive jobs approch the interactive feature limit, this job will take more and more processor, until you have got to 100% of your interactive - this job will cause your cpu% to equal 100%. So your batch jobs get less and less. Ok so things never get that bad, but I have seen CFINT01 reach 50% before.
