You really want DBM1 / MSTR in a service class above CICS e.g. Vel 80 and Importance 1.

DB2 is just along for the ride. My suggestion (since transaction goals are in use) is to experiment w/DB2 in a separate service class. BTW, are you using goals for DDF workloads? <snip> Scenario is, I am working with a policy where the DB2 address spaces (aside from IRLM) are running in the same service class as the CICS region tasks. The caveat is CICS is running as a server with transaction goal management. As I understand it WLM sampling will establish for lack of a better term "patterns of behavior" of a service class to better help in its adjustment logic. CICS behaves like CICS and DB2 like DB2. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
