IMO, that is too many. 3 SC sounds about right. WLM, JES, HOT. Again, that is the technical viewpoint. The business might have a different one. One thing you may notice, depending on the actual workloads is a "round robin" amongst the service classes. At the end of 15 minutes or so, you will see t

Assuming the system was 100% busy, those lower service classes might not get any service at all. Not just "switch between" one or more service classes. This is true. In my case there is enough for one or the other, but seldom both (usually about 2/3 of what the batch workloads "want"). Also

This can't be right. Adjustments to goals / DPs are made every 10 seconds. Could you imagine if online systems in different service classes with the same importance behaved this way? For example, CICSPROD with IMP=2 and DB2PROD with IMP=2. 1) Generally (unless you are really really huge) CI
