Autoscaling?

["Metz, Zak" <Zak_Metz@xxxxxx>]

My company is looking into converting some COBOL to be threadsafe, but
we quickly discovered that this won't really work the way they want on
the 400 (we develop software for many platforms). I would like to
suggest that they instead use a system whereby requests are placed on a
data queue and jobs pick up those requests from there. I believe that
there is some OS/400 mechanism by which the number of jobs waiting on
the data queue will dynamically adjust based on workload (like the HTTP
jobs do). Could someone be so kind as to share what that sort of
processing is called? I will be happy to research it from there, but
without knowing what it's called I'm not getting far!
