Monitoring

With load modules, there are many tools to aid you in gathering statistics on the performance of individual modules.

Sites which see excessive use of the U suffixed load module can identify overuse of the RELEASE command in CA Ideal. Sites can identify which modules are highly used and loaded and should possibly be made resident.

It is also important when running load modules exclusively to check your CICS statistics. You should see no I/O to the user panel or object libraries. If you do, VLS is active. You might think you are using 100 percent load modules online when you are actually running some programs in VLS format. Somehow these programs missed the conversion to load modules after they were object transported.

If this situation occurs, you can run a Datadictionary alias report. User entity type MODULE,$IP* gets a listing of all the programs and MODULE,$IM* gets a listing of all panels. These listings can be compared against a VLS library listing for missing modules.

An application load module cannot execute outside of the CA Ideal environment. For a complete description of CA Ideal load modules, see the “Application Migration Considerations” chapter of the Administration Guide.
