That’s all standard work management we’ve been doing for some time, but it does not explain why *CALC should be turned off for *SPOOL. As to the machine pool, it’s always been off.

Jim,

I don't think so.
Here's a recent doc regarding *CALC (Expert Cache).

People have different views on performance adjusting.
I run with performance adjuster on, to allow nightly batch jobs to allocate more memory.
During the day, allocated back to interactive.

Shared Pool

A shared pool is a pool in which multiple subsystems can run jobs. The advantage of shared pools is the flexibility of sharing memory between pools if it is not being used. System value QPFRADJ adjusts memory to maximize resources on a dynamic system. Shared pools can also use Expert Cache by setting the paging option on the WRKSYSSTS or WRKSHRPOOL to *CALC.

Subject: Re: WRKSHRPOOL paging *calc or *fixed recommendations

I’d love to know why. For years IBM has been suggesting the opposite. There were some excellent write ups explaining the process that *CALC used some time back.. has something changed?

IBM Lab services is recommending that *MACHINE and *SPOOL are set to *FIXED while the rest are set to *CALC.
Sound reasonable?
