RE: Just curious -- if you had/have a central system used by many locations, how do you set up job queues?

Charles,

I once worked for a company that had subsidiaries in Eastern and Central
time zones in separate LPARS on a 570. Within each LPAR we used IASP's
and allocated each one to it's own "playground". My task was to develop
these environments so that each subsidiary could work without affecting
the others. I created separate subsystems, job queues, job description,
printer queues, etc. When the user signed on, an initial program would
transfer them to the proper subsystem, set their library list, etc.

Ok,

Some more information:

~150 locations

All the same workload, running all custom code.

I suppose what I'm looking for is experiences with location specific
jobqs vs. application/program specific jobqs.

I realize that it's probably not 100% one or the other. But do you
have/have you seen mostly specific jobs queues for each location with a
few special jobqs for certain programs; or vice versa?

Thanks!
Charles

All,

Looking for others out there with experience on larger centralized
systems supporting multiple locations.

Question, how are your job queues set up?

Do you generally have one or more job queues per location?


Thanks!
