We've moved other functions, such as threshold migration to non-Prod (low utilised) images to save Prod MSU's. >Anyone tried this and fell in a ditch or were results as expected? Tips/Tricks? Any redbook,etc info in this area. I don't know of any resources to tell you the best practices, but if the alternate image is on a slower box: 1. It takes longer -- maybe too long. 2. ENQ's/Locks may last too long and cause problems. Especially, if the moved function ends up taking to much time. I hope this helps, and is not too vague. But, moving any function from a primary to a secondary machine can impede throughput. As always, monitor (before & after), analyse and tune (I know this sounds like mom & apple pie [or, in Canada: mom & maple syrup], but the obvious seems to require repetition). Any hard/soft configuration change needs to be managed. We do of course, share HSM CDS's across the sysplex. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
