What can I do if Mainframe Analytics Interpreter is consuming all the available CPU and running for an extended time?

This is likely caused by processing MPRANK20 (Subtype 6) MAR SMF records. Each MPRANK20 record can produce 1000+ CSV records. To resolve this issue:
• Eliminate Subtype 6 record processing by specifying SUBTYPE='(1:5,7)'
• Reduce Subtype 6 processing by specifying PROCMAX6='n'. This will cause Mainframe Analytics Interpreter to process only n Subtype 6 records.

What do I do if Mainframe Analytics Interpreter is overloading SYSLOG?

Use RPTEACH to limit the messages by reporting only every nth MAR SMF record, such as RPTEACH='100' will report only every 100th record.
