If you have the CP's and the speed for short bursts maybe not an issue. If you don't - well - I remember the recommendation by IBM to put our WAS version 5 cell group in SYSSTC on a small 2 way G5 machine running 31 bit. I remember the faces here when we started the cell group up, 7 address spaces. Just about everything stopped. We did try stagger start because we had control but the overall pain was just too much. Of course, like maybe a year later, IBM later came out with zAAP's.
Like Mark said, worth a try. If it causes problems go back.

I find it really interesting that just about everyone agrees to put these things into sysstc, an idea that got vehemently vetoed by the 'head WLM developer' when I suggested it in a lengthy conference call. Thanks to Peter Hunkeler for the good stuff about Unix. I will take me some time to absorb that! :-) >In Barbara's case, I would like the product has to be re-engineered to >signal completion of its transactions so that she could use response time >goals. Exactly. That's what I would like, too. >Then get your boss to go scream at the vendor to put proper >instrumentation into their product. There's not a lot else you can do. Well, that's what I am attempting to do. Did I mention that the vendor is IBM? And that the product is developed in the same location as WLM? In Germany, no less? Unfortunately, my boss adopts the attitude not to do anything until there is a problem. And then we get yelled at because we did not take 'pro-active' measures (to use a buzzword). So I am yelling right now (at IBM, via complaint). >(Did I mention velocity was a bad idea?) Even the developer said that, of course not as bluntly as you! :-) Best regards, Barbara -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!
