Hi Mark, You might also consider to join the tm-discuss list and posting this question there. I know there are some folks who hang out there that don't monitor IBM-MAIN because of the volume. The form to join is in the customer center on the MVS Solutions web site.

It is intended to give customers a simple way to communicate with other customers about their use of ThruPut Manager. For example, you might ask what changes people made to their procedures and their JAL when they implemented VTS drives. All replies go automatically to the list so the information can be shared by all members.

CA7 runs on one of these lpars and most of the CA7 submitted jobs are picked up by the JES2 on that system. This leaves the other system almost empty of batch work while the first system is being over loaded. What are some of our options to spread the workload across both systems on an equal basis. zOS 1.4. JES2 managed batch. Thruput manager is available.
