The first two periods are ALWAYS used, but the duration limits how long the work stays there before it transitions into the next period.
So, if most of our work is in period 3, it's because it has exceeded the 800 SU's that have been designated in the previous periods.

Question for any WLM/performance geniuses, Our Inforprint processes suffer when the system gets slow and therefore print slows. The Infoprint manual suggests changing the WLM Service Class for these processes thusly: * Service Class OMVSDMN - OMVS Print Daemons Base goal: CPU Critical = NO I/O Priority Group = NORMAL # Duration Imp Goal description - --------- - ---------------------------------------- 1 200 3 80% complete within 00:00:00.500 2 600 4 60% complete within 00:00:01.000 3 5 Execution velocity of 40 It's that last period that has us confused. It appears that the first two periods are never attempted and everything falls into the third one (which is not what we want, we want the first one). Should the third one be more like the first two?
