2. Wiseco Consultants Ltd. Green Screen, Interactive Tax (an artificial performance barrier) 2. + Cost of Software subscription /maintenance (DB2, OS400, Compiler etc..) -this can be higher than the cost of interactive card/feature. E.g. in the example above, 170-2176 is a P10 but a 170-2183 is a P20 (the only difference being the amount of interactive) 1. System slow, inadequate, users complain of slow response times –Traditional solution  Buy additional interactive from HW supplier or IBM ( what is the cost of the interactive card/feature ?) E.g. 170 and 270 models showing total CPW Vs Interactive CPW per model

4. Wiseco Consultants Ltd. The customer is perhaps experiencing system slowdown already due to interactive limit being reached. Operating max400 on that system will bring immediate relief. Alternatively they can verify max400 working by completing the following test described at : http://www.max400.net/faqs2.htm http://www.max400.net/faqs2.htm Example of how this test would work on say a 170-2291 model which has 25 Interactive CPW, out of a total of 115 CPW. Here the interactive CPW is approximately around 22% of total machine capability. (SEE FOLLOWING SLIDES, example of screens 1-4) 1.When you start the 2 CL programs in a ‘loop’ as described, initially the 2 jobs will consume around 50% of CPU. 2.Then CFINT will ‘commence’, slow the CL jobs down and reduce CPW usage of these jobs to around 22%, which is the ‘limit’ of that machine. 3.Now, starting max400 will increase the CPU to around 50% each on these 2 jobs. How do I verify that max400 works?

5. Wiseco Consultants Ltd. This shows the system-wide CPU usage when no jobs are running. Example of max400 working (Part 1 of 4)

6. Wiseco Consultants Ltd. The looping CL program is then called from two sessions. They each receive about 50% of CPU. Example of max400 working (Part 2 of 4)

7. Wiseco Consultants Ltd. After some time, CFINT01 becomes active and slows the interactive sessions down. In this case they each get about 10% and CFINT01 takes about 80% of CPU. Example of max400 working (Part 3 of 4)

8. Wiseco Consultants Ltd. Now MAX400 is started and the jobs return to receiving the full amount of CPU available. Example of max400 working (Part 4 of 4)
