  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The use of z/OS Connect's data transformer identified by
    configuration element zosConnectDataXform causes high I/O
    and
    CPU usage when processing bind files representing structures
    with very large number of entries. The bigger the number of
    entries, the more noticeable the issue becomes.

    ****************************************************************
    High CPU observed when processing a high volume of HTTP requests
    through z/OS Connect and when using z/OS Connect's data
    transformer. More specifically, the problem takes place because
    z/OS Connect's data transformer incorrectly processes WSBind
    files on every request.
    The tooling used to analyze the high CPU usage highlights
    com.ibm.cics.schema.impl.ICMImplFromWSBind as a potential
    cause.
    
    Note that processing a WSBind file on every request can also
    cause high I/O. Furthermore, the level of CPU consumption
    increases as the amount of data described in the WSBind files
    used for data transformation increases.
