As mentioned... lots in the archives about this (even before the recent threads). 1) Speed of offloading (being able to keep up with records being written). 2) Flexibility. I still have not had a problem with number 1 but I have heard of shops that do. Although I don't see why any shop that big on a multiple engine LPAR can't run their SMFDUMPs at SYSSTC. I run mine in a service class with importance 2 and the only time that has had a problem keeping up was with the "looping" issues I brought up in another thread (we moved them to SYSSTC to keep up while working on those issues). IMP=2 is equal to my production CICS though. The only thing with IMP=1 is WebSphere enclaves and DDF work from the WebSphere appliactions.
