Subject: Finding CM switch causes
I have been observing our HP3000/980 through Glance
and have noticed that it is switching to Compatibility
Mode alot (>1800/sec). Searching the directory, I have
found only one PROG in use with the rest NMPRG. I assume
that we have recompiled all of our programs and libs so I wonder
what is causing the high number of CM switches. Incidentally,
I see that most of our KSAM files are the MPE-type (KSAM/KSAMK)
and wonder if MPE/XL switches to CM to access these files.
Sounds to me that you should switch to native mde KSAM which is much
faster if you do alot of KSAM IO.
