I am cross posting this to the IBM-Main and the MXG listservs.
We are about to set the soft cap on our systems. I have been informed by my system programmers that in the past they have seen tasks that don't play by WLM's rules when it comes to resource utilization. One is the Direct-Connect (NDM) task. In the past, before I came to this location, they saw Direct-Connect take CPU resources and affect CICS processing when the system was heavily used even though Direct-Connect had an importance level lower than the CICS regions. We are running NDM at an importance level of 4 with a velocity goal of 20. Our CICS regions are at an importance level of 1 with a velocity goal of 50. The CICS transactions are run at an importance level of 1 with a response time goal of 80% within 0.5 seconds. Has anyone else experienced this with Direct-Connect or any other application? That is have they experienced the application taking over the system even though it has a low importance level? This is important to us as we want our CICS processing to be one of the last things to be hurt if we hit the soft cap.
