Well, I like the resource group solution but I have to wonder how well STCLOW does normally with a vel = 50 at imp. 4. I might think that this is a never achieving goal service class from all of what might be in STCLOW, but of course I could be way wrong too. I'd resource cap max it, CD,

Hi Barbara, I might consider moving NDM up in importance, middle level, to get it some resources. I might also watch its behavior as NDM has been known to take resources that might affect other workloads. If that's the case you might consider resource capping it as well. Barbara
