For DCME, have a look at Ron Hawkins' recent post: http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0909&L=ibm-main&P=R37609&I=1&X=-
If you are batch-constrained, the old Red Book: System/390 MVS Parallel Sysplex Batch Performance - SG24-2557-00 has many pointers still valid in even non-sysplexed environments. Our own experiences focus on job scheduling, and stringent reviews of DB2 application and subsystem performance. FWIW...

I don't think that we use any of these and are only now starting to look at SMB. Any feed back would be appreciated. And yes we are having performance problems. Actually, I think we are just maxing out our processor.
