We don't have a plex so I can't answer your question directly, but do you have any kind of automated console monitoring? We set up a rule so that if test jobs go over a certain percent of spool space, we just automatically cancel and purge them, no questions asked. We implemented this after a couple incidents where this exact scenario occurred at o-dark-30 a couple times and we couldn't get the developers to watch out for themselves.
Rex -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Michael Babcock Sent: Thursday, December 8, 2022 1:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] Split JES2 MAS 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) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
