I asked our sysprogs and it seems we are using batch LSR as well as BMC Mainview Batch Optimizer.
So the only potential area of improvement is in CICS. Now we don't have RLS and since most of our VSAM updates are done via EXCI interfaces to CICS transactions, is that really batch now or online? So if there are opportunities for efficiencies I think it won't be in batch LSR but the best use of pools in CICS etc. On Sun, Jul 16, 2023 at 3:17 PM Laurence Chiu <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On Fri, Jul 7, 2023 at 5:35 PM allan winston <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I did a lot of work in this area 20 years ago. >> [snip] >> >> CICS is an entirely different ballgame.
