Jack, Thanks for the explanation. I learned something new! :-)
On my system, all values from $DPCEDEF are 5. I'll have to ask around here to see if someone has the rationale for that value.

Each JES2 system has some number of PURGE processors. $DPCEDEF will show the number. The default is 10. The purge processors of the member that owns the checkpoint will each grab a job and free the track groups associated with that job. That process can take some time depending on the spool space owned by the job, so it can take all the members several checkpoint cycles to purge all of the queued jobs. /jack ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richards, Robert B." <[email protected]> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 26, 2009 1:55 PM Subject: Re: $P JOBQ Question > One more observation: > > I noticed that once the lock is released and the jobs start purging from > the spool, it seems every member of the MAS is participating in the > purge process.
