Ok, I tried to find a link to the *BASE as pool 1, but couldn't.

The v4r5 work management guide mentions that the memory for the subsystem
<monitor> job itself comes from whatever is defined as pool 1.

But it also shows an example of changing it to a private pool....

I know that I've seen "expert" recommendations to have pool 1 be base for
all SBSD. But it's obviously not as hard and fast as I recall. :)

(subsystem QSPL pools)...very interesting. And that is not the only sbsd

that.
Unfortunately I don't manage the system(s), but can suggest..
I imagine the sbs descriptions are carried over changes long ago.

Your's is...and it's modified values don't follow IBM's recommendations...

Every subsystem should have *BASE as pool 1, as the first pool is where OS
threads managing the SBS run.

Your routing entries should then point to pools 2-whatever :)

We have determined the batch job resources are all coming from the pool

I was thinking under the covers some parts might run in QSPL, but not
that
we
have seen.

Nathan - either your system or ours has the QSPL subsystem modified - in
ours,
*SPOOL is pool 1 and *BASE is 2..

I'm in the process of setting up a monitor (data queue) on the
originating
outq
and dividing up the processing. We not only convert the original spool,
but
sometimes merge additional spools together, generate a .tif from the
afpds
spool, then direct the afpds to various outqs around the country.

We have 2nd processor in the hardware, but not activated - it's in the
budget
but they are slow to sign.
Thanks to all,
Jim

Is the pool *SPOOL used when batch programs are calling QUSLSPL,
QUSRSPLA ...



The *SPOOL memory pool is associated with a subsystem, not an API. What
subsystem is your "batch process" running in? Only the QSPL subsystem on
my
servers use *SPOOL, and even that one has *BASE memory pool in position
"1" and
*SPOOL in position "2".

I doubt your performance issues have anything to do with memory
constriction in
the *SPOOL memory pool, but check to see which subsystem your "batch
process" is
running in, and the memory pool(s) associated with it.

If you can't throw more hardware and memory at the problem, you may need
to
split your "batch process" into multiple instances that run concurrently
and can
take advantage of multiple CPUs. That probably entails some redesign.
