Simple Performance Testing Parameters in Mainframe

Hi All,

I want to do a simple performance testing of some jobs in Mainframe. These jobs run COBOL programs, Access DB2 tables, use VSAM files and use utilities like SORT, IDCAMS etc.,

I want to do a simple performance test of these jobs without using any tools.
Some parameters I will be looking for are the elapsed times, CPU times etc.,

Can any one of you tell other parameters that I can look for ?

Hello,

In the queued jes output of some job, look at the bottom of the 3rd dataset (JESYSMSG). There will be messages IEF374I and IEF376I. These are end of step and end of job messages and they will have some values you can use.

Not much, but not a "tool" either. . .
