Hal: you might check the DB2 chapter in the Redbook "System Programmer's guide to: Workload Manager" (SG24-6472). There's likely a chapter, or two, in the DB2 Admin guide as well. Maybe he can tell where he's reading from. If you're not using stored procedures, he might be doing DDF ie. JDBC, etc. DB2 stored procedures are moving from being run in the DB2 SP a/s to separate WLM address spaces ie. DB2 SPAS is now deprecated. (your para 1 except DB2 v6, 7, & 8) For WLM managed, stored procedures, you need a WLM ApplEnv so the a/s will get started/stopped per demand. (I believe that it's 2hrs inactivity before the last STC disappears.) We use the STDATA in Racf Class(Facility) to provide the proper userid. friendly *Warning*: don't include NumTcbs in the ApplEnv Parm as shown in examples. Instead, leave it for the JCL proc where it can be easily changed without requiring a WLM policy activation each time. Only place items that are invariant (rock solid, unchanging) such as DB2SSN and ApplEnv. ps. I believe there are sample stored procedures - and maybe a Rexx builder - provided with DB2. He might be trying them out for size. ----------> signature = 6 lines follows <-------------- Neil Duffee, Joe SysProg, U d'Ottawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uottawa.ca/ ~nduffee "How *do* you plan for something like that?"
