Bill, You make a very accurate statement. When I was working with the vendor on a problem they had me put some special DD's to trace the operation of Softworks (Performance Essential). Even though I had the product "disabled" it still had to execute the vendor code to see it did not need to do the optimization. Catch-22 come to mind?
Thanks, Fletch <SNIP> Kevin: I suppose most functionality will stop so you may be OK but I wonder though it may disable the functionality of the product, ISV exits may still be in use so I don't know if you could say with 100% certainty that NO vendor code is being executed. I mention this because at one time I worked on a Job Scheduling System that we could stop, but IEFACTRT still built the job/step records for the database and managed buffers etc while it was not running. Just a thought.
