RE: CICS Operational Values

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howard,

The three values you list are characteristics of any job on an AS/400.
They are controlled by an object called a Class.  When a batch job
initiates in a subsystem, it contains a compare value which is compared
to the routing entries in the subsystem description.  These routing
entries contain a reference to the class to be used for the job.  If you
wish to change these characteristics, then find out what class is being
referenced and change it (a bad idea if the class is used by other jobs)
or create a new class and change the routing entry to reference the new
class (a better idea).

To get an idea of the classes available on your system, take a look at
the WRKCLS command.  To see the routing entries in your subsystems, try
the WRKSBSD command.  I realize this is just a start, but hopefully it
will point you in the right direction.

If you have the opportunity, the IBM Work Management manual for your
release level will give good background in these areas.

Regards,
Andy

Subject: CICS Operational Values

We are trying to tune our production CICS region and in consulting the
Redbook it suggests the following: 
Execution Priority 15 
Time Slice 2000 
Deferred Wait 30 
Problem is we can not figure out where these values are set! Has anyone
come across these values or know where we should look?
