QUIESCE the task will work, if it is swappable.  If non-swappable, create a
ServiceClass
(such as SWAPOUT) that points to a Resource Group (such as RG_SWAP) with a
maximum of ZERO
Service Units specified.  Then reset the task's SRVCLASS to SWAPOUT.

Subject: WLM question that I'm afraid I know the answer to

Hello list,

Is there any way to force a job to swap out, even if the computer has
lots of spare CPU cycles?  I think the answer is "no", but thought it
was worth asking.

We are having major slowdown problems trying to run disk-based cloning
of Oracle databases on a DMX-4 that is being shared with the mainframe.
Even though the background clone is running at low priority in the DMX,
jobs and tasks running on the "Z" are running at a snail's pace and I
was hoping to suspend one of the batch jobs running in an attempt to
speed up the rest of the batch work.

Thanks.

Rex
