Thanks for the information. I am still trying to convince the PTBs that using WLM to control CPU consumption by area is superior to splitting the single system into multiples so that it can be done via PR/SM weights. There are other pluses to splitting, such as a better testing environment for system level changes, but CPU management is not one of them. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
