IF YOU HAVE DETERMINED THAT MANY PROCESSES IN THE OPENVMS ENVIRONMENT ARE PERFORMING BADLY, use the tools described in section H2 to determine whether some processes are using OpenVMS priorities to take over the system. If this is the case, review why priorities are being adjusted and take appropriate action. Otherwise, you should assume you have an OpenVMS tuning problem. For information on tuning OpenVMS, refer to the OpenVMS Performance Management. If the problem is really severe, examine recent changes to SYSGEN parameters. When changing SYSGEN parameters, the use of AUTOGEN helps to avoid extreme performance problems.
