<snip> Assuming the system was 100% busy, those lower service classes might not get any service at all. Not just "switch between" one or more service classes. </snip>
This is true. In my case there is enough for one or the other, but seldom both (usually about 2/3 of what the batch workloads "want"). <snip> Also when you wrote " A short time later, ..." I assumed you were talking about something much longer than a 10 second WLM adjustment interval. Perhaps many minutes. </snip> Initially yes. It *was* sometimes on the order of minutes. As I said the WLM L2 folks set me straight. Now it takes, in most cases 2 or 3 adjustment cycles for WLM to react, not dozens or hundreds as before. Still haven't been able to completely eliminate the "alternating distribution" entirely. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
