I came to the opposite conclusion: I couldn't see why coding was required unless new function was DESPERATELY needed. The word in bold because that seems very risky - going around changing function at a time like this.
And, because my lens is more-or-less performance, I thought making the application scale was the urgent and safer thing. Yes, I realise application changes can be necessary to make something scale but then we're back to desperation. :-( Cheers, Martin Martin Packer zChampion, Systems Investigator & Performance Troubleshooter, IBM +44-7802-245-584 email: [email protected] Twitter / Facebook IDs: MartinPacker Blog: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/MartinPacker Podcast Series (With Marna Walle): https://developer.ibm.com/tv/mpt/ or https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/mainframe-performance-topics/id1127943573?mt=2 Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu_65HaYgksbF6Q8SQ4oOvA From: Laurence Chiu <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 05/04/2020 20:06 Subject: [EXTERNAL] Wanted Civil programmers in New Jersey urgently Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> it seems that the huge increase in benefit request in New Jersey is causing their benefit systems to be overloaded and not able to handle the volume of requests. It doesn't seem like a load issue but more the application needs to be changed. Otherwise you would just throw more MIPS at it https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.theregister.co.uk_2020_04_05_new-5Fjersey-5Fseeks-5Fcobol-5Fvolunteers_&d=DwIBaQ&c=jf_iaSHvJObTbx-siA1ZOg&r=BsPGKdq7-Vl8MW2-WOWZjlZ0NwmcFSpQCLphNznBSDQ&m=we9iQYSSOE8VzuyXv27f9iKmNJlYkPMnUAf4sG-UjZA&s=UgOg-N0E7RFnAw49opRaW9-gaTi6S8WvCM4bi73z9FM&e= ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
