I am not quite sure what you are aiming at. You say the system hits its defined capacity, so the costs are fully under control by the DC, aren't they?
If you want to lower costs, the way is to lower the DC. If you expect performance problems, you can set different goals for different batch: give the important batch that must run at that moment a high Importance and give the batch that runs there because of scheduling dumbness but which does not need good performance then, a lower Importance.

There's a system where their 4-hour rolling average maximum is always during their batch window, when they routinely reach their defined capacity limit, which in turn affects what they pay in a chargeback system. Because of scheduling dumbness (another story) they have several gaps in their batch window where nothing runs, giving some leeway for jobs to increase their elapsed time - not the usual thing you want to do, but bear with us. Would it be worth investigating setting a resource group limit for the batch service class(es) to hold the total 4HRA down as a cost-saving measure, or are resource group limits going to cause more trouble than they are worth? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
