3527.0. "FREE LUNCH FOR PERFORMANCE STATS!" by CAADC::GALVIN (Mic Galvin, MCI Team) Mon Aug 10 1992 18:22

    		DECmcc Performance Data Reports
    
    	Hi.  Well, I've got until the end of this week to come up with some
    performance figures on DECmcc.  Does anyone know of a document that has
    been released recently on this topic?
    	I'm not set on the "type" of data I'm looking for, what comes to
    mind are things like:  What overhead is realized on a target node when
    an MCC Station is monitoring it?  What happens to the CPU & Memory
    Utilization on a target node?
    	We've been using the MONITOR Utility, and a test script that the
    customer wrote, MAILSIM, which simulates MCImail activity on a
    system/cluster.  
    	Our MCC platform is:, VMS 5.4-3, 64mg Memory, 2 RF71s, 2 Custom
    AMs, 1 Custom FM, and TSAM, oh yes... and BMS V1.2.
	I'm looking for really generic statements, referring to DECnet
    activity or whatever...  I should add I've got Event Logging Sink
    turned on, and want to do a comparison report on what the performance
    is like with and without multiple ALARMS turned on.
    	I'm buying lunch for the best pointers/documents, etc.
    
    thanks,

3527.1Use of DECmcc could rely on Performance dataMSBCS::DOLANTue Aug 11 1992 17:4039
This request below from Phil Bernstein for DECmcc repository performance 
information has been passed on to me in the last couple of days so I'd be 
very interested in any DECmcc performance data that is available.
The ACCESSWORKS project initially decided to develop
AM's for our management requirements however, a new organization (DB tools)
has become involved in the project and the issue is being rethought.  I'm sure
performance will need to be addressed extensively.  This is just the
beginning.  

I can't imagine a VMS marketing
report being so unbalanced in its report - perhaps phil is just passing
on the negative and the report was more balanced...let's hope so!!!.

John,

Have you run any performance experiments on the DECmcc repository?
If so, I'm interested in the numbers. If not, it's probably smart
to do this early. Overall, DECmcc has a reputation for being slooooow.

E.g., extracted from a recent VMS Marketing report:

	"DECmcc performance poor... Version 1.2"

	"DECmcc is our future, its not user friendly, and requires too many 
	resources to provide a reasonable response time."
