We ran into something similar when we convinced an ISV to go to usage base, rather than the entire footprint. The alternative for the vendor was the discontinuation of the licence. Anyway, the product ran under a CIC region that consumed (under peak) less than 3% of the physical processor. So, I implemented an SCRT process for the product. The 4HRA peak was at night (all batch) when the CICS region wasn't even up. My management complained, at first, but I pointed out, while it wasn't perfect, it saved us 180,000USD. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
