RE: Interactive activity approaching capacity of installed feature

Nick,

If you look through your hardware paperwork you will find something
called an "Interactive Feature".  There is a specific amount of
interactive capacity available depending on what feature your company
purchased.  For instance, you could have a machine with a processor
capable of 1000 CPW and an interactive feature code which allows for 120
CPW to be used for 5250 Interactive processing.  When your interactive
workload exceeds the threshold, your interactive workload will bog down
as though your entire processor was overloaded.

There really are only two things to do.  First, you can find a way to
decrease the interactive workload by scheduling your work differently or
finding the user who is running batch jobs interactively.  If you have
programmers who do interactive compiles for instance.  The second option
is to purchase additional interactive capacity, which can be very
expensive.

If you provide some details on your hardware platform (processor and
interactive feature codes) I'm sure that someone on the list could
provide more specific information.
