Paul:

Generally we set the number of prestart jobs to a number that provides the
service level needed for that job. For instance, it might be OK to wait for
100 queue entries to be processed over a period of time; then again it might
be imperative that they get processed very quickly. So I would either set
the number of jobs at 3 as you have done, or bump that number up so that I
have sufficient numbers of listeners to handle the load. Now the memory
management and activity levels for those jobs can be set so they process
properly. (works similarly to how many CGI jobs have to be running for the
Apache Server to process too)

I agree with Kevin, what does DSPACTPJ show?

Also - when you are hitting with with 100 entries, what does DSPACTPJ show?

Hi Jim,

This is the PJ definition;

The 5 uses only was just something to test to see if it works.

But you state that it works, do you mean that; something (the OS ?) is
starting additional jobs for you (apart from the initial ones) and based on
what ?

Kind regards,
Paul

Can you post the prestart job entry and job description?

I think your jobs should stay in DEQW rather than PSRW status. PSRW implies
a multithreaded job wait rather than a more traditional job.

We do this all the time and don't have any issues.

Why kill the job after 5 uses? It would seem to be overly expensive to
constantly be creating new prestart jobs.
