This looks fine.
If you run DSPSBSD on each of the subsystems, and take option 2 for Pool Definitions, you will see how many pools are defined for that subsystem, and whether it's defined as *BASE, *INTERACT, *SPOOL, *SHRPOOLxx - or as a Private Pool (size defined).
Work with subsystems is showing you for example, that subsystem QINTER has 2 pools defined to it.  The first pool defined (1) is the system pool 2 - which WRKSYSSTS shows you is the *BASE pool.  The second pool defined (2) is system pool 4, which WRKSYSSTS shows you is *INTERACT.
System pool 1 is always *MACHINE, and system pool 2 is always *BASE.  From there it depends on what order the subsystems that use other pools are started.

The subsystem monitor runs in  the 1st pool defined to the subsystem (usually *BASE - system pool 2).
Other pools used in the subsystems are determined by the Pool identifier on the routing entries for the subsystem (DSPSBSD, #7, F9).

As a first step I would carve out a separate pool for Batch jobs.
In WRKSHRPOOL assign a size and activity level for *SHRPOOL1.
In subsystem QBATCH:
Pool        Storage     Activity
 ID        Size (K)      Level  
  1           *BASE            
  2       *SHRPOOL1  
For routing entries 300, 700 & 9999 (the 3 default entries) change all Pool identifiers to 2.

And maybe also change subsystem QPGMR same as above for Pool Id's.
For routing entries 10, 20, 700 & 9999 (the 4 default entries) change Pool identifiers to 1, 2, 2, 1.

You may want to try QPFRADJ sysval at '3' to see how the system handles it (note your pool sizes and activity levels so if it makes a mess of things you can change QPFRADJ back to '0' and put you pool sizes & activity levels back where they were.
If you decide to try QPFRADJ = '3', use WRKSHRPOOL, F11, to set reassonable min/max sizes - so for example it won't take away all the memory from QINTER during lunchtime (assuming anyone actually takes lunch and doesn't just grab a sandwich and work at their desks these days !).
An example:
                      -----Size %-----  -----Faults/Second-----
Pool        Priority  Minimum  Maximum  Minimum  Thread  Maximum
*MACHINE         1     22.50    55.00    10.00     .00    10.00
*BASE            2      4.50    80.00    10.00    2.00      100
*INTERACT        1      2.50    80.00     5.00     .50      200
*SPOOL           3       .50    15.00     5.00    1.00      100
*SHRPOOL1        2       .75    80.00    10.00    2.00      100
*SHRPOOL2        2      1.00      100    10.00    2.00      100
*SHRPOOL3        2      1.00      100    10.00    2.00      100
*SHRPOOL4        2      1.00      100    10.00    2.00      100
*SHRPOOL5        2      1.00      100    10.00    2.00      100
*SHRPOOL6        2      1.00      100    10.00    2.00      100


Would suggest changing paging option for the pools (can't change *MACHINE) from *FIXED to *CALC for all pools, via WRKSYSSTS or WRKSHRPOOL - again, try it - it may work for you, it may not.

        Subject:        PERFORMANCE TUNNING, SUBSYSTEMS & SHAREPOOLS



Guys,
 
I just came back from Common 2000 at Baltimore, MD and I'm looking around and changing some of my system's configurations as they relate to PERFORMANCE TUNNING.  One of my discovery on my system seems weird.  Below you'll see the printouts from my WRKSYSSTS & WRKSBS.  I think my SUBSYSTEMS are not defined properly, their references to SUBSYSTEMS POOLS doesn't appear OK to me.
 
Please advice on how to set this up correctly.
 
Thank you,
 
Dare
