ERXT0345/EZXT0345: Blocked Workload Analysis Report

This RMF report lists the intervals when some workload was considered blocked by WLM. Since z/OS 1.9, WLM can temporarily increase the dispatching priority of such workloads. The data in this report comes from EXTDATA type R70A.

The fields in the report are as follows:

DEFINED UNITS/S

Amount of service units, per second, which are allocated to WLM for promotion of blocked workloads. This number is derived from the BLWLTRPCT parameter for WLM.

USED PERCENT

Percentage of allocated service units actually used by promoted workloads.

AVG ADDR SPACES BLOCKED

Average number of address spaces found blocked during the interval.

MAX ADDR SPACES BLOCKED

Peak number of address spaces found blocked during the interval.

CPU PCT FOR PROMOT

Value of the BLWLTRPCT parameter in percent.

STARVATION THRESHOLD

Value of the BLWLINTHD parameter in seconds.
