Just understand that with DDCONS(NO), you will generate more SMF records for each Task/Job. This could cause more back-end processing for MXG or MICS or your archival process. But this is probably preferred.
I've been recommending NO since it first became available. I'd rather the backend take more time, than the shutdown process. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Schiradin,Roland HG-Dir itb-db/dc Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 SYSN 2:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: DDCONS We use DDCONS(NO).
