IBM Z Sort and DFSORT Considerations

White Papers


Abstract

The purpose of this Tecdocs paper is to provide guidance on DFSORT’s use of Z Sort to reduce Sort elapsed time and Sort CPU time. This paper will discuss what is Z sort, what DFSORT characteristics does it require, with the IBM Z Batch Network Analyzer (zBNA) tool how many candidates are eligible to exploit it (and could be), and what settings and resources are required to maximize the Sorts that can utilize Z Sort. The scope includes virtual storage, DFSORT settings and available processor storage. This white paper was written by John Burg and Dave Betten.
