BMP parameter (BMP and JBP data)
The BMP parameter controls whether activity data for BMP and JBP transactions and programs is collected.
If BMP or JBP processing is causing bottlenecks in the IMS online system, you may want to avoid the extra overhead that monitoring adds. However, this option is viable only if the BMP or JBP data is not required for accounting or IMS performance analysis. In general, you will want to collect BMP and JBP data.
The effect of this parameter on CPU usage depends on the number and activity of all BMPs and JBPS, but usage is higher when specifying YES rather than NO or NOCPU.
Syntax
Options
Valid options are:
Option | Description |
|---|---|
YES (default) | BMP and JBP transaction and program activity data is collected. The collected data is available for Performance Reporter, Transaction Accountant, and workload trace. |
NO | BMP and JBP transaction and program activity data is not collected. No data is available for Performance Reporter, Transaction Accountant, and workload trace. |
NOCPU | BMP and JBP transaction and program activity data is collected, but no CPU time usage is collected. No CPU data for BMPs or JBPs is available for Performance Reporter, Transaction Accountant, and workload trace. All other data, such as DL/I counts and database accesses, is available for the Performance Reporter, the Transaction Accountant, and workload trace. |
