We have six zos 1.7 systems three on a z890 and three on a z9 we have applied the toleration for the z10 on the z890 systens since we will be replacing the z890 with the z10 all six Systems are in a sysplex do we have to apply the z10 maintenance onto the z9 zos 1.7 systems Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

We use JES3 DJC for all of our product builds. There are some jobs that run serially, and some that run in parallel. The compile jobs have a couple of hundred steps each and run in parallel. When we add many new steps, we re-balance the steps per job so they all complete around the same time. If we go past the 255 step limit, we add another job. Here is one of our DJC Network diagrams: //* D. J. C.
