Tony,

        It appears your job is running a Warehouse (Taurus) script or program.
What type of processing is it supposed to be doing and what type of files is
it accessing?

Thanx,
        Jon

Subject: Question about SHOT output.


I have a job that is executing but is doing so VERY slowly.  I have looked
at it in SOS and it shows that it's primarily in either a CPU wait or a MSG
wait.  I recalled that Stan had provided some info awhile back about using
SHOT to find out what a process was really waiting on.  So I tried:

SYS/PUB:shot.pub.lpstools
SHOT [2.32] - LPS Toolbox [A.07a]           (c) 1995 Lund Performance
Solutions

For Help at the SHOT prompt enter   ?                             My PIN is
207
For NEWS, enter: HELP NEWS

The PIN for my job is 201, however I'm not sure how to interpret what I've
found. I'm on 6.5 PP2 on a 996/800.
