I'm not sure what IBM recommends. I would advise against running the vast majority of your work under JES initiators and a little bit under WLM controlled initiators, especially on a heavily loaded system. I wonder how many shop's bad experiences with WLM initiators are based upon "trying" them in such a very limited way on an over-initiated system. However, if you have a little bit of work that doesn't work well with WLM initiators, such as Mark described, WLM will manage the remaining resources just fine. And contrary to other opinions, WLM will do a fine job of managing production work, provided that the goals and importance are set appropriately. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
