Thanks Martin. I tend to agree with the DB2 and CICS importance strategy you point out. I would really like to debate the VEL:80 however that should be in another thread. Regards. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff /

Thank you for the assurance in my thinking here. Like you said, a policies do this and what is most likely the limiting factor is # service class periods. My take is usually for the higher importance workloads, I tend not to mess around with mixing them. The intent of the note what just to get

As far as I can tell, the DP of the CICS address spaces will float depending on the loved ones. DB2 is just along for the ride. My suggestion (since transaction goals are in use) is to experiment w/DB2 in a separate service class. BTW, are you using goals for DDF workloads? snip Scenario is,
