The DB2/CICS/WAS/ISV/etc. folks typically look at things from their own
perspective only. Part of the job in my group is to be the gate keeper.
As a capacity guy you should understand that because you have the same
responsibilities to the health of the overall system.
What if every authorized program / product felt "they knew more" and
bypassed IEFUSI and just used whatever above the bar storage they
wanted with no overall system control?
I'd rather have the one DB2 subsystem or program abend than the
entire system in a wait state.
Hopefully, DB2 uses SYSEVENT STGTEST or similar service to help it
intelligently use large virtual storage.
