Thanks to Scott, Skip, Mark, etc. for your replies. The primary checkpoint is already in a CF and the secondary is on a volume by itself. The busiest system in the MAS *is* the one issuing the command.
I guess the best I can do is to consider changing the time the command is executed to a quieter period.

He's the one most likely to want the checkpoint frequently, hence the most likely to complain if it's busy. Another suggestion is to isolate JESCKPT1 on its own volume to minimize RESERVE/RELEASE contention. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
