We have two lpars that perform the vast majority of our batch work. CA7 runs on one of these lpars and most of the CA7 submitted jobs are picked up by the JES2 on that system. This leaves the other system almost empty of batch work while the first system is being over loaded.

What are some of our options to spread the workload across both systems on an equal basis.

zOS 1.4. JES2 managed batch. Thruput manager is available.

Thanks.

Install z/OS R8 when available and use WLM-manage inits? From the R8 preview announcement:

"JES2 will be designed to help balance workload in a multi-access spool configuration within a sysplex by controlling the number of WLM-managed initiators in use on each system."
