We have a 3 system plex, with two of those systems, DEV and PROD, in a
JES2 MAS. We had an incident recently where a development job got into
a loop and used up all spool. This in turn, caused our PROD system to
come to, basically, a screeching halt.
Management wants to investigate removing PROD from the MAS.
Beyond the obvious cons below, what else am I missing? Will a cold
start be required?
CONS:
1. No longer monitor production jobs from DEV
2. User's will need to logon to production to check on production jobs
3. Significant changes to desk procedures
4. May require changes to production jobs and/or CA7 (convert from
SYSAFF to ROUTE XEQ)
