>It was not DB2 that had a problem. It was CICS and a few batch jobs. Okay. I stand/sit corrected.
>I don't have a problem with multi-volume datasets at all, and in fact I design >SMS to allocate large datasets on as many volumes as possible. I didn't think you did have a problem. The issue is not multi-volume; it's number of volumes. >It was simply having so many candidate volumes for every dataset, 1 track or 1 >pack, was excessive and we started having TIOT blow outs. Were you using the max TIOT size? I believe it's 64K. >I think we were using 20 for the unit count when the problem happened. While I've said we've used 59, usually I've used 20, but that's for Batch. For online, we left it up to apps/DBA, except for DB2, since it uses a different method. - 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
