This has come up here. We are in month-end. Our CPU resource is 100%
pretty much constantly. And, even worse, with a CPU Queue Depth of over
20. We end up having problems cancelling TSO users and test batch jobs.
The CANCEL is accepted, but the address space cannot get any CPU to
actually terminate.

We used to have a CA-OPS/MVS rule to do a RESET ...,SERVCLAS=.... to set
the cancelled address space to a very high priority service class.
Unfortunately, this has resulted in another problem. We use CA-MIM
Integrity to requeue work which has ENQ conflicts on datasets. CA-MIM
does this via a $HJ/$EJ/$CJ sequence. The $CJ results in the service
class being reset to the high priority one. But it is "remembered" and
is used when the job next starts to execute. This is unacceptable, but I
cannot think of a way around it.

So, any words of wisdom that don't boil down to "don't do that!" WRT to
overinitiating the CPU? I cannot control that. Well, I could
theoritically, but not practically.
