Alan, Thank you. Crispin, A search on HCD or PEER will get some good helpful papers. An advanced search on Author John Huges will get a few more. Best to have a fresh pot of coffee handy while reading John's papers (not sure if white socks are required but might be helpful..)

A good question. I think SMP apply checks the existence of directories but not of external links. I even applied a recent PTF to upgrade the driver. The SMP APPLY was successful. It didn't complain about the missing external links. The links were created when I ran the REXX exec DSNMKDIR. I

True enough, but what does that have to do with the discussion at hand? My comment was to posts subsequent to the original posting. The point is that there are reasons beyond WLM for segregating work. From a WLM perspective can you run everything on one LPAR? Yes. From a practical standpoint
