RE: Performance -- BPCS-L

I hope I didn't say 4.05CD.  This is running COM on V6.1.01.

What I've found is that every job description and workstation data area
points to QBATCH.  All reports, etc., are running in there.  The problem is
that the posting and validation programs are being submitted to jobq QINTER.
I've gotta find how to change the name of the jobq that they're being
submitted to.  The recommendation that I move the BPCSJOBQ from QINTER sbs
to QBATCH sbs won't work because it's actually using jobq QINTER...did that
make sense?

All my system parameters point to QBATCH.  For some reason, these programs
are being submitted to QINTER.  The user's screen is clear and he/she is
free to enter another order, but the order that they just posted won't be
'valid' for a couple moments while it's being processed.  Does that make
more sense?

That is not the BPCS default for 405 CD so someone has modified rules in the
interim.  Take a look at WRKJOBQ & see what subsystems various JOBQ are in &
if you can reassign some.  I have never done this.  I just go into WRKSBMJOB
& move a job that has not yet started to a different JOBQ.

Check the SSALOG00 on-line BPCS documentation on your environment setup.

There is stuff off the SYS menu that says which JOBD & *DTAARA stores info
for BPCS interactive vs. batch rules & reviews IBM commands needed for
maintaining them.  So if you know which of your JOBQ are in a batch sub
system, these tools will help you change defaults so that BPCS JOBQ work
does
not default to QINTER.

You might also look into the IBM Redbook specifically on optimizing your 400
for BPCS performance.
