Tomcat Interactive Priority Setting on AS400

[Ivan Hurtado <iva030@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running Tomcat 4.1.29 on a V5R2 iSeries machine,
and have received complaints from a few other RPG
developers that the Tomcat app was running with too
high a priority. After looking into it, we noticed
that the Catalina.sh script (which we got with the
download) was starting the app with Interactive
Priority = 6. We bumped it down to 20, but the app is
SLOW now! 

So my questions are... Does anyone know why the
Catalina script defaults the Interactive Priority to
6? Has anyone adjusted that?... to what and why? Is
there an accepted value?

See below for the script section that defines the
priority...

# For OS400
if $os400; then
  # Set job priority to standard for interactive
(interactive - 6) by using
  # the interactive priority - 6, the helper threads
that respond to requests
  # will be running at the same priority as
interactive jobs.
  COMMAND='chgjob job('$JOBNAME') runpty(6)'
  system $COMMAND

  # Enable multi threading
  export QIBM_MULTI_THREADED=Y
fi



Thanks,
Ivan
