Priority Scheduling

Submitted by admin on Sat, 2004-08-07 07:17.

CICS should have higher priority than the database (MPM).
TNS should have higher priority than CICS and MPM.
Use the SRM parameter MTTW for MPM regions (before MVS 5). Databases that do the most I/O will get the highest priority.
Slow running batch jobs can cause lockouts on OLTP service, increase batch priority or use less concurrent batch.
Runaway tasks can be stopped with the RESOURCE LIMITER but it will also kill operations like index creation, etc.
