Too many people get hung up on the technical aspects. Rather than worrying about: How many write engines? How is the Defined Extent used/sized? How many (HIPER)PAVs are allocated/usable? VSAM chaining? ETC? The real issue is: Are my Service Levels being met? AND: Is my resource consumption appropriate? If the answer to the above two questions is YES -- relax. If NO, then use your understanding of the technology to fix it. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html The information transmitted is intended only for the addressee and may contain confidential, proprietary and/or privileged material.
