Jay Remember the system value QTSEPOOL . This says that if the job still has work to do, and hits timeslice end, take it out it's existing pool and run it in (what ever you put in QTSEPOOL like *BASE). So you may seeing jobs that are running "Too lean" not really being bumped out of memory(hence a low Act-Inel) because you specified *BASE as your QTSEPOOL value. This is just one more variable for tuning. It's more like a helecopter. About 5 controls all affecting each other. John Carr Another John(not Jon) -0-------------------------------------------- X-Note: This E-mail was scanned by Declude JunkMail (www.declude.com) for spam. John, I liken the tuning of the timeslices to the high speed jet on a carburator. Too rich (ie too large a time slice) and it bogs down on heavy load and won't recover till the load is removed. Too lean (ie too small a time slice) and the system really sputters. On the AS/400-iSeries that would equate to Wait-to-Inel. So far that hasn't occured with the timeslices I have currently set. I wonder if anyone has hit the point of too-lean. It is my understanding that the 400 will hold that memory until the timeslice is complete, even if the job has long past completed. That is why I keep trying smaller timeslices. The other classes I mentioned are for TCP and Spool services. If a TCP service has a 2000 millisecond timeslice and the transaction only takes 20 milliseconds, then given the heavy TCP load on today's 400's (iSeries), there would be more memory that could be recovered for immediate processing. I think this is important on the 7XX boxes, cause IBM chooses to kill the batch CPW when the interactive feature is maxed. Thanks for your feedback. Jay
