Just out of curiosity, how many GPs do the LPARs involved with the MAS
have? Per system... not total. We stagger the purging of "all" input /
output
over 14 days old with a command that just purges held ("programmer") output
over 4 days old. The held output purge has the most work to do by
far and finished in about 5 seconds last night in our MAS (I'm sure it takes
longer on Mondays). Some of the smaller systems in the sysplex not
in the MAS took longer. They have engines, less weight, but also smaller
spools and less output to purge.
