Jay, If you don't know what they are (I don't recognize them either), don't touch them! You can back into what they do by matching up the routing data on the routing step that uses the class with various system job descriptions. Timeslice values should not be driven by the speed of the main processor or the amount of Interactive CPW that you have purchased! The purpose for timeslices is to determine what is the maximum time a task has access to an activity level (being resident in memory) before you make it compete to keep it. It is generally a bad thing if a routine interactive task has to give up its activity level before it concludes. Someone running a "batch-like" task in Interactive is another story. Some application software packages have very long code paths that take awhile to complete. Others have very short code paths & will complete in a much shorter time. The times also vary with the number of tasks that are resident in memory at once! The correct timeslice values for Interactive can vary greatly between systems. Like any other performance tuning issue, the important issue is the goal that you are trying to reach & what you are willing to give up to reach that goal. Are you tuning because Interactive performance is slow? If CFINT has kicked in (& the you are unwilling to buy more processor), optimizing your interactive performance is probably the best step. CFINT slows down your entire machine. Do you have Interactive jobs that transition from active to ineligible? That is a sign that they are exceeding their timeslice at a time when your main memory is over committed. Sorry for the scattershot answer, but tuning is like seeing a doctor ... what do you say after saying AAAHHHHHHHHH???? Hope this helps!
