Generally constant performance improvements are made into releases of RTC for z/OS. The objective of this report is to present the improvements. The performance data provided is obtained by benchmark test of each release. The report includes build duration and links to the detailed build activities. ---++ Disclaimer %INCLUDE{"PerformanceDatasheetDisclaimer"}% ---++ Findings Based on the test data, incremental build performance of the RTC for z/OS has improved significantly from 4.0.2 to 6.0. * From *4.0.2 to 5.0.2*, the overall improvement of the build time is about *30% to 50%* depending on different test scenarios. * From *5.0.2 to 6.0*, the time of incremental build with large change set improved more than *20%*. "Collecting buildable files" and "Updating dependency data" activities during build preprocessing are the main improved activities. Constant performance enhancements have been made into release 4.0.3, 4.0.5, 4.0.6, 5.0 and 6.0 to improve the build preprocessing speed. ---++ Topology The tests are executed in a Single Tier Topology infrastructure like the one in the following diagram: %INCLUDE{"RTCEETestingTopologies" section="SingleTierZ"}% The RTC server was set up based on !WebSphere and DB2 on Linux for System z. The build machine with Rational Build Agent was on zOS. <table class="gray-table"> <tr> <th><strong>Test Environment</strong></th> <th></th> <th></th> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>RTC Server</strong></td> <td>Operating System & Version: Linux for System z (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (s390x))</br> System Resource : 10 GB Storage, 4 CPs (20000 mips, CPU type : 2097.710, CPU model: E12) </br> CLM: from 4.0.2 GA to 6.0 GA, 4 GB heap size </br> DB2: 9.7.0.5 (from 4.0.2 GA to 4.0.6 GA), 10.1.0.0(5.0 GA to 6.0 GA)</br> WAS: 8.0.0.3 (from 4.0.2 GA to 4.0.5 GA), 8.5.5.1 (from 4.0.6 GA to 6.0 GA)</br> </td> <tr> <td><strong>Build Forge Agent</strong></td> <td>Operating System & Version: z/OS 01.12.00</br> System Resource: 6 GB Storage, 4 CPs (20000 mips, CPU type : 2097.710, CPU model: E12)</br> Build System Toolkit: from 4.0.2 GA to 6.0 GA </td> </tr> </table> ---++ Methodology Build time and individual activity time are compared by getting test start date and time. The sample projects for the test are: * Mortgage Application *100 which is 100 duplicates of the [[https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ZOSBuildSamplesV4][Mortgage sample application]] * Mortgage Application *1000 which is 1000 duplicates of the [[https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ZOSBuildSamplesV4][Mortgage sample application]] <table class="gray-table" style="width: 60%"> <tr> <th><strong>Test Data</strong></th> <th></th> <th></th> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Sample Project</strong></td> <td>Mortgage*100</td> <td>Mortgage*1000</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Assets</strong></td> <td>600 COBOL programs<br/> 400 Copybooks<br/> 200 BMS<br/>3 others<br/> </td> <td>6000 COBOL programs<br/> 4000 Copybooks<br/> 2000 BMS<br/>3 others<br/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Total Assets</strong></td> <td>1203 </td> <td>12003 </td> </tr> </table> In the repository the source code is stored in one stream with one single component which includes 5 zComponent Projects. Enterprise builds are executed twice against each version. ---+++Test Scenario Description After a complete build of all the programs, different changes are performed and a rebuild requested. These requests will rebuild the changed programs and impacted ones. <table class="gray-table"> <tbody> <tr> <th align="center">Test Scenario</th> <th align="center">Description</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Incremental Build</td> <td>1. Change a copybook (!MortgageApplication-Common\zOSsrc\COPYBOOK\A00MTCOM.cpy) and request build</br>2.

Change all COBOL files and request build</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> ---++ Results ---+++ Run duration & Build Activities The charts below show the run duration comparison from 4.0.2 until 6.0. Builds are run twice against each release and the average time is taken for comparison. From *4.0.2 to 5.0.2*, the overall improvement of the build time is from about *30% to 50%*. From *5.0.2 to 6.0*, the time of incremental build with large change set improved more than *20%*.
