Re: Using Subsystems

Jack,

This is not an unusual solution, due to politics and just plain keeping the
peace.  Of course it would be nice if it weren't necessary, but if you do
choose this course, it isn't unmanageable.  Just point all nine to the same
sharepool, with an appropriate max active number for the amount of memory
available.

I'm assuming that we are talking about batch processing, and that 9 isn't
going to mushroom to 90! :)

Hello Everybody:

We operate nine different companies from one AS/400 model 500 V3R7.  At a
recent MIS department meeting we discussed setting up a seperate subsystem
for each company so that we can schedule simultaneous jobs between
companies without scheduling conflicts.  There would be some other benefits
as well.  My question is, what kind of a performance hit can we expect take
if we go ahead with these plans?  Most of the companies are very small, the
largest only has about 30 users.
