Virtual Storage Analysis: Exploring Below the Bar Private Storage Problems

Project and Program: MVS, MVS Core Technologies

Tags: Proceedings , SHARE Virtual Experience 2021

Join z/OS Software Support specialists in their virtual world as they delve further into debugging below the bar storage problems. This session complements ' Virtual Storage Analysis: Exploring MEMLIMIT and Below the Bar Global Storage Problems' and will explore debug of below the bar private storage problems. You will learn techniques used by z/OS Software Support to analyze below the bar private (local) storage usage for an address space (job) in a system dump by using VSMDATA reports. With these techniques, you will be able to assess the private storage usage for a job, and identify areas of growth or extreme usage. The GET/FREE trace will also be discussed to help identify who obtained the storage.
