Re: Why separate pools?







My understanding of the separate pools was to guarantee certain types 
of jobs get a memory slice and a thread. 

This prevents an application (like Payroll) from 'hogging' all the
available resources on a machine.  Each application gets its own space.
IIRC from my tuning days, certain subsystems needed a minimum, and
spooling was a great example (is this still true?).  I know alot of
the rules changed with QPFRADJ, but without this minimum, the system 
would thrash.

Dan Rasch - because if the human species concentrated on the really 
important things in life, there would be a shortage of fishing poles!
