Rather than split the spool, (no cold start required IIRC, it might be
more prudent to limit the amount of output a job can create.
Look up $ESTLNCT(?) in the JES2 manual; Set an appropriate Count and
specify option 2.
When the job exceeds the defined limit (more or less), the job will

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)
