RE: Reducing Systempools

["Segars, Steven " <Steven_Segars@xxxxxxx>]

yeah you sound like alot of shops I worked for. We will get more dasd or
memory "soon". I understand what your trying to do, I also agree with what
another tech said earlier, "if it aint broke, dont fix it", but I'm kinda
like you , I like for things to make since, especially if I didnt set them
up in the first place.

the wrksyssts didn't get through as I intended, sorry.
Actually, the current pool setup has seperated batch and interactive,
even different pools for different interactive subsystems.

But this setup stems from an earlier systems where we had severe performance
issues. 

I want to streamline this. From what I have read here now, what about a
setup
like:

          *machine
          *base
          *spool
            allbatch
            allinteractive

We have about 60 laser printers (IP) - what would be an appropriate size for
the spool 
memory pool?

I know 80+% of DASD is not a good idea, monthly reorgs will reduce by about
5% and we'll
buy more disks shortly (I hope). I just don't have any more stuff I could
delete...
Spoolfiles older than 1 week get deleted, but we still have about 60.000+...

Regards,

Oliver
