Check out the info apars and (very carefully!) check out segmentation offload. You might want to bounce this off of IBM (either WLM or Comm. Server ).
That's about all I can recommend. Please post the results when/if there are any. I would be interested in the responses from IBM. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Werner Kuehnel Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 8:03 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Antwort: Re: WLM and TCPIP Tried already to shift TCPIP into SYSTEM, but is not allowed. WLM can not starve STCs defined in SYSSTC. Why does WLM not cut the processor for the batch jobs which are defined DISCRETIONARY?
