Everybody decides this for themselves. Due to bad experience, I tend to be a bit generous. When I arrived, this customer had an abysmal paging configuration. CICS dumps would stop the system. I mean stop it dead. Everything was underconfigured - memory, paths, AUX, the lot ... I convinced them the "cost" of a decent paging configuration was well worth it. On newer kit, may be less of an issue - however I still have (smallish) LPARs that require more than 10 full mod-3's as page space just in normal running. A couple of big dumps can still have an effect - especially when DB2 and SAP R3 get together. Then of course DB2 V8 is on the horizon ...
