Supported hardware
ThruPut Manager supports currently supported IBM hardware.
Note: Day one support for IBM hardware and software is for toleration-only. Refer to the Compuware Support Center for more information on day one support.
Compatibility considerations
This version of ThruPut Manager is compatible with the following levels of software:
• z/OS: V2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5
• JES2 / z/OS: V2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5
• CA 7 (TM AE+ only): R11.3 and above
ThruPut Manager is fully downward compatible and can be implemented on a system by system basis unless otherwise stated.
Note: Day one support for IBM hardware and software is for toleration-only. Refer to the Compuware Support Center for more information on day one support.
JES2 BERT Increase
ThruPut Manager makes use of JES2 Berts in its processing. Ensure enough are assigned. The following is the recommended guideline for the value of BERTNUM for your environment.
IBM BERTNUM recommendation + #jobs on execution queue x 5 + 1000
Note: If the $ACTIVATE,MODE=Z22 command is issued, TM will calculate whether there are enough JES2 BERTs and, if not, will fail the request with message “DTM2356I $ACTIVATE rejected. ThruPut Manager requires nnnnnnn free BERTs, vvvvvvv available.”
Sharing JES2 exit points
For installations that are using JES2 exit points required by ThruPut Manager, see Share JES2 Exit Points.
The user-defined fields, $USER3, $USER4, and $USER5 are used by ThruPut Manager and are unavailable for use by any JES2 exit routine.
JES2 exit routines can establish addressability to user control blocks using the optional user-defined fields $USER1 and $USER2 found in the JES2 HCT.
In order to ensure ThruPut Manager functions correctly, all of the TM JES2 exits must always be called. If the installation makes use of the JES2 exit mask (JCTXMASK) to prevent certain exits from getting control on a job basis, care must be taken to ensure that this DOES NOT affect any of the TM JES2 exit points. If TM detects that a Job exit mask is present, then a diagnostic message DTM1118I will be issued in the SYSMSG data set for the job.
