Re: job queues

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So you're running production work in QPGMR then? You cannot 'share' job 
queues between systems. You can attempt to assign a job queue to 
multiple subsystems but only one will get it (first in wins).

FYI I strongly discourage changing the existing job queue to 
multi-threaded unless you know the system VERY VERY well. This is a 
"land mine".
