I seem to started a robust discussion --- thanks everyone. We have been a MIM shop for many years and it has been rock solid.
The quesion with my shop is this: We are a single 7 image Sysplex - no outside systems sharing resources and we use sysplex tape sharing provided by z/OS. Outside the job requeue feature, what additional benefit justifies the cost in my scenario? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
