We have a multi processor setup, and would like to analyze performance per job per processor. In other words, which CPU was performing which process. I searched through historical postings on this, but all I could find was reporting by process rather than processor.

Perhaps this is not possible, but I have been tasked with finding out. Many thanks in advance.

It's not possible. DataStage does not control what process is executed by which CPU - it just starts processes. You can see how much CPU was eaten by each process in the Director (Monitor), but not on which CPU.

Never mind the fact that processes can be handed around from CPU to CPU like hot potatoes. :D Have a chat with your Sys Admin types, they should be able to explain what information you can or can't get from your system.

Thanks Guys,

I suspected as much.

Much appreciated, and I will close this topic now

This becomes even more complicated in a cluster or grid. We are trying to figure out which machine a process or partition runs on.

That one's easy. Just have the player processes report their pid when they start - the messages will be logged from their own node. The environment variable, from memory, is APT_PM_SHOW_PIDS.

Thanks Ray.
