Foo.tiff is a 300x300 A4 picture with 24bit colors, LZW compression.

Problem:                                                                
We've been using AFP Overlays since a few years, both for printing      
and for generation of PDF documents through a PDF printer with 5722-    
IP1.                                                                    
These overlays were always in black and white, and this was working,    
                                                                        
and still is working perfectly fine.                                    
                                                                        
Recently we bought a new FS45 capable color printer, which also         
prints  our new color overlays perfectly.                               
                                                                        
However, when we print these documents to the mentioned PDF printer,    
                                                                        
the creation of the PDF works, but it takes about 5-10 minutes.         
During this time, the whole machine becomes rather unresponsive,        
issuing simple commands like "WRKSYSSTS" can take up to 5 seconds to    
                                                                        
complete.                                                               
                                                                        
During this time, the job related to the PDF printer maxes out the      
CPU on the machine. As said, the creation of black and white PDFs is    
                                                                        
not a problem and only takes a few seconds, but color PDFs do not       
work as nice.

prb: Client use AFP Overlays since a few years for printing and for     
     generate PDF files via IP Server. The overlays are always in       
     black and white. The overlays are ok as PDF file and by the print. 
     Yet client has get a new FS45 capable color printer, which prints  
     the color overlays correctly.                                      
     However, when client print the documents to the mentioned PDF

     out the CPU on the machine.                                        
     As client said, the creation of black and white PDFs is not a      
     problem and takes only few seconds.

Additional Information:                                                 
I've installed Group PTF SF99347 (Print Group for V5R4) Level 9, and    
                                                                        
also PTF SI27658 and SI27899. IPL'd the system and verified             
successfull installation of both PTFs and the Group.                    
                                                                        
The problem persists, i did not see any change in behaviour. It is      
neither faster, nor slower.

act: Ask client if the convertion takes also a long time when nobody is 
     working on the iSeries. Client told me then it takes 4 minutes. But
     this is also too long for client.                                  
     Requested the saved splf and ovl from client. w4d

Hi                                                                      
client works with r540 + IP-Server.                                     
He created the devd + psfcfg in the following way:                      
CRTPSFCFG PSFCFG(QUSRSYS/PRTPDF) PDFGEN(*STMF)

PDFDTAQ(*NONE) FNTSUBMSG(*NO) IPDSPASTHR(*NO) PDFDIR('/PDF/')           
                                                                        
CRTDEVPRT DEVD(PRTPDF) DEVCLS(*LAN) TYPE(*IPDS) MODEL(0)                
LANATTACH(*IP) AFP(*YES)                                                
PORT(5039) ONLINE(*YES) FONT(223) FORMFEED(*AUTOCUT)                    
RMTLOCNAME('127.0.0.1') USRDFNOBJ(QUSRSYS/PRTPDF *PSFCFG)               
*                                                                       
Converting splf's with black overlays is no problem.                    
But if client converts splf's with a COLORED  overlay the BCH-job will  
use much cpu and will need 4 to 10 min to create the streamfile.        
                                                                        
I tested the same splf + ovl on our system and there the stmf was       
created after 1 min.                                                    
                                                                        
We created some joblogs + jobtraces.                                    
They are on ecurep.                                                     
Also a screenshot where the bch-job shows that it was active for a long 
time.                                                                   
Also there are savf's with the ovl + splf for testing.                  
                                                                        
Hope you can see why the convertion is so slow.                         
                                                                        
Have a nice weekend, Rainer.

SI27658 is the PTF that does the conversion.  We are running with the   
same level of conversion here, and it takes about 25 seconds.           
Assuming the same overlay (DLAGDATA/COLOROVL), and the same conversion, 
the only difference is going to be the power of the iSeries they are    
using, and its performance tuning. Converting color image does take a   
LOT of CPU.                                                             
If we have to, we will get our performance team involved to look at the 
customer's system performance.                                          
                                                                        
I dumped out the overlay, and it is 600 pel image.  I think the         
conversion process will proceed quicker, if there is no conversion of   
pel density.                                                            
The customers printer is *IP40240, or 240 pel.                          
Could they try creating the overlay at 300 pel?  Supposedly, the        
tiff2afp will generate 300 pel by default, but perhaps they could use   
-r 300 in their command to force 300 pel; recreate the overlay and try  
again using *IP40300.  If it doesn't help, send the new *OVL object     
that they recreated.  Also send the input tiff image.

The overlays need to be in 600 DPI, as the same printing                
configuration is also used to print on a real printer, where we need

client changed the psfcfg to *ip40300 .                                 
Now the conversion needs 3 to 4 min, but this is still too long for the 
client.                                                                 
As he described in the previous update, he cannot work with an overlay  
which is created in 300 pel.

ACTION TAKEN: Mike is on vacation this week. The only difference that   
I see reading through the problem is we have tested on 3 different      
iSeries getting different results.  I would guess the speed of the CPU  
and memory is different on all three iSeries.  Color images take a lot

ACTION TAKEN: Talked with Adam, OK to send to WTPERF.  We need to send  
customer information on how to analyzed performance issue with printing 
color images. Please see previous updates and let the print team know if
you have questions.

Action taken: I spoke to Adam and he is preparing Job Watcher           
              instructions for this issue. RQ to Adam's attention.

Rainer,                                                                 
                                                                        
We should probably go ahead and collect 2 things: A 30 min Job Watcher  
collection containing a recreate of the issue, and the Collection       
Services data from the day of the recreate.                             
                                                                        
INSTALLING JOB WATCHER                                                  
Before we collect Job Watcher, you need to get the pre-req PTF's        
applied, install the GUI, and add a license.  Here is the website to    
check the PTF prereqs adn download the install EXE file:                
https://www-912.ibm.com/i_dir/idoctor.nsf/downloadsV5R3.html            
Once you have the PTF's applied, and download and install the EXE file  
from the web (be sure to select to install client and server), update   
the PMR and included confirmation of the serial # and version, and we   
will generate the customer a temporary access code for Job Watcher and  
assist in setting up collection.                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
SENDING COLLECTION SERVICES DATA                                        
Assuming the customer has the PT1 tools, you should be all set to get   
Collection Services data.  Here are the instructions for collecting and 
sending CS data:                                                        
                                                                        
First, Create a Library to put the data in:                             
                                                                        
CRTLIB LIB(PMR61235)                                                    
                                                                        
Then do the following                                                   
                                                                        
1)  GO PERFORM                                                          
2)  From PERFORM menu pick    6. Configure and manage tools             
3)  From PERFORM menu pick    3. Copy performance data                  
4)  Should see a screen that looks like this                            
                                                                        
                           Select Performance Member                    
                                                                        
 Library  . . . .   QPFRDATA                                            
                                                                        
 Type option, press Enter.                                              
   1=Select                                                             
                                                                        
 Option  Member      Text                                  Date         
Time                                                                    
                                                                        
   (No performance data in library)                                     
                                                                        
If you do see performance members in here, skip to step 5.  If you do   
not then change    QPFRDATA  to QMPGDATA.                               
                                                                        
5) Select the appropriate Member you wish to copy from this screen      
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
6) After you select the member from the appropriate time frame with a 1 
and hit enter you will see:                                             
                                                                        
                          Copy Performance Data Member                  
                                                                        
 Type choices, press Enter.

Change the QMPGDATA to the library we created PMR61235 and hit ENTER.   
                                                                        
7)  This will submit a job that copies just that day's data to our new  
library.  If you want me to look at more than one day, you can repeat   
this process and add another member to the library.  Once you have all  
of the data in the library its time to save it off and send it.

Action taken: I have restored and summarized the Job Watcher and        
              Collection Services data on SQ2 in PMR61235.              
                                                                        
              I reviewed the Job Watcher data and see that the PRTPDF   
              job is consuming the majority of CPU on the system        
              during the time it was running. It is spending time in    
              CPU queuing which indicates that it would use more        
              processor capacity if it were available. There is some    
              page faulting being seen but that may be normal in that   
              there is data that has to be brought into memory from the 
              disk units so that it can be processed.                   
                                                                        
              It appears that there were 3 print operations during this 
              test. The first started at 15:36:29 and ended at 15:40:40 
              (4 mins 11 secs), the second started at 15:43:26 and      
              ended at 15:47:18 (3 mins 52 secs), the third started at  
              15:47:18 and ended at 15:51:09 (3 mins 51 secs). It would 
              appear that each print operation takes approximately 4    
              minutes to complete.                                      
                                                                        
              Here is a breakdown of the time spent by the PRTPDF job on
              the system.                                               
                                                                        
              CPU - 83.73%                                              
              CPU queuing - 12.46%                                      
              Page faults _ 1.94%                                       
              Socket receive - 1.56                                     
              All other waits - 0.31%                                   
                                                                        
              As can be seen, this job is not waiting on very much.     
              Based on the data reviewed, investigation of the following
              actions may want to be explored. Additional processor     
              capacity could posibly reduce the CPU queuing being seen  
              on the system. An increase in the size of the SPOOL pool  
              may reduce the amount of page faulting being seen.        
                                                                        
              If the print operation is taking 4 minutes at the present 
              time it might be possible to improve that by ~15% if there
              was no waiting at all during the print. This would improve
              the print time by 36 seconds in a perfect environment.    
                                                                        
              The CPU during this time was at 100% system wide which    
              will impact all jobs on the system. I noticed that there  
              was not much of a workload on the system at the time that 
              the print was done. If there had been additional jobs then
              the print time would have been even higher.               
                                                                        
              The PRTPDF job is spending most of its time in CPU, this  
              is due to processing. If the amount of processing (work)  
              can not be reduced then a faster processor may be         
              required. This would require some type of sizing or       
              benchmark activity.                                       
                                                                        
              I can not find any indication that there is a system OS   
              performance issue here.                                   
                                                                        
              Collection Services data performed was also reviewed. The 
              data provided did not cover the time period of the test.  
                                                                        
Action plan:  RQ to PB to update the local support team with what was   
              found in the data provided.

act: Made a conf call with my colleague and client. We explain client   
     the update from rochester again and afterwards we discussed the    
     problem with client.                                               
     Client accpted the answer but he is not so happy about it. We told 
     client he can made a design request and send it to rochester.      
nac: Client will discuss the problem with his manager. Client didn't    
     know if he made a design request. He agree to close the call.
