I did some investigations, found SG24-5326-00, which explains that BPXAS's are WLM server address spaces (fork initiators). WLM maintains a pool of them to be reused and created when needed. Chapter 5.4 describes what WLM does when a fork initiator is requested: when one is available it is resumed and the application continues, when the pool is empty, the fork request is suspended and WLM creates a new address space and posts the waiting task. Can you point me to docs that describe that WLM takes system resources (besides MAXPROCSYS of course) into consideration to decide whether or not, or when, to create a new address space?
