It cannot move data between steps because in a Batch Pipes world, there is no way to get multiple steps running in parallel for the pipe to work. "no way"?!? All the user needs to do is insert another JOB card (non-duplicate name is a plus but not a requirement if JES' duplicate jobs are allowed to execute concurrently).
That sounds like a "way" to me. >MAINVIEW Batch Optimizer from BMC will run steps in parallel, entire jobs in parallel, and optimizes QSAM and native VSAM I/O processing among other items. Does BMC's MAINVIEW Batch Optimizer have a clue if more than one of those parallel job steps are updating the same DB2 table (and thus potentially causing damage)? Some steps have implicit serialization requirements. How does BO cope with those? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
