I had to dig into the doc to investigate some of the parameters you're asking 
about. Some thoughts:

-- You do NOT want to use multiple COUPLExx members across the sysplex. Some of 
the parameters must be consistent across the plex. If you introduce multiple 
COUPLExx members, it's only a matter of time until a change is made for one 
system that is not carried over to other systems. I don't know what effect that 
might have, but you don't want Level 2 to have to figure out what went wrong. 
CLEANUP(nn) for example is specified in COUPLExx. Different values would mean 
different COUPLExx members. A risk.

-- Even parameters that CAN be different across the sysplex should not be 
changed just because it's possible. Do you have a strong reason for wanting 
different values for INTERVAL or OPNOTIFY? However you set them, I don't see in 
the doc any compelling argument for implementing differences. You can use 
weighting values in the SFM policy to give priority to beloved cows at the 
expense of chickens and goats. You still have a single policy across the 
sysplex.

Subject: (External):Couplexx values for sysplex - Query

Hello Listers,

We are doing a change to set values for INTERVAL ,CLEANUP and OPNOTIFY in 
COUPLExx different for few systems in our sysplex . I understand that INTERVAL 
can be set different for each system in the plex after you enable USER INTERVAL 
on the Functions statement .

I would be interested to know if you have any thoughts against setting up 
different values for CLEANUP on systems within a sysplex .

Btw , we are on z/os 2.1 and are planning to implement SSD on all systems 
within the plex .


Regards,
Baby
