I our environment we have A LOT of online (DB2 distributed) work that kicks off at night from a server somewhere. If we let it alone it would eat our lunch and batch processing windows would be missed. We have a night time definition that lowers the distributed work down to lower than a snakes belly. Who cares if it takes 4 hours?
You are correct that it makes no sense to have a night time specification if there is no online work being done. That being said, it might just be easier and less aggravating to go along with it. Sounds like upper management has been talking to their buddies in a different environment again. Good luck.

The LPAR is running CICS, ADABAS, SHADOW ? I am trying to tell them the concept of having different WLM settings for the different parts of the day , is old fashioned ex. We have WEB applications now and there is no point in increasing the Batch priorities when the CICS's are doing nothing at night. Difficult to explain because they believe the Batch jobs will go faster at night if you UP the priorities in WLM. Warnings : Any of your responses might be distributed in our organization , so please talk slowly so that everybody will understand. Note: Opposing views/opinions are always tolerated because that is how all of us think about we do, before doing it.
