Re: Job numbers in threads

You do need to allow for activity levels for the threads however. For
example we have one job that runs all in it's own subsystem and is the
only job in the memory pool. The job runs well over 400 threads so there
must be a high enough activity level for that subsystem to allow many of
the threads to run at once. In our case well over 100. Before threads
an activity level of 1 would have been good for that memory pool. View
the number of threads for jobs in WRKACTJOB and press F11 until the
thread count is displayed.

Isn't that an implication of "thread" being short for multiple thread of execution therefore to have multiple threads active at one time would require an available activity level? Seems obvious to me but perhaps worth pointing out for batch jobs.
