Re: Auto Tuning

Ken,

I think it's just one of those things like having the QINTER timeslice set
to a value more appropriate for a B10, that IBM never gets round to fixing!
And it's why you should, in my opinion, turn off automatic tuning and tune
the system yourself. This is especially true if your applications use SQL!

cheers,

Clare
