QZDASOINIT prestart job entry Max Jobs and Uses

Hi All,

Even though we have changed the priority of the QZDASOINIT job, we are still experiencing an abnormally large amount of CPU utilization (in some instances in the neighborhood of 60% on average based on the numbers reported by WRKACTJOB). After doing some poking around on the Internet, I came across and article that discusses the prestart job entry parameters for this job. The article mentioned reviewing the MAX JOBS and USES values. Looking at our system, I see they are set to *NOMAX and 200 respectively.

If I change these values, I am assuming I will be able to reclaim some of this CPU utilization consumed by QZDASOINIT. The question is - what is a reasonable number to set these values to so that I have a balance of web pages being serviced in a timely manner without having the QZDASOINIT job consume a large amount of resources?

Also - if I make changes to this job, do I need to IPL the machine, or do I simply stop and restart the QUSRWRK subsystem (we are running 5.4.0)?

Any comments or suggestions would be most appreciated!

Thanks!
