While I agree with the sentiment, I would like to correct the terminology a bit... Running out out LXes and running out of ASIDs are two separate, mainly unrelated, problems. z/OS provides both reusable ASIDs, and Reusable LXes, as separate things, which happened to be implemented around the same time. So I would reword your comments to say: "Ask IBM to fix DB2 and MQ to use reusable ASIDs." I have been told that the DB2 and MQ development view is that it should not be necessary to frequently recycle the DB2 and MQ server address spaces, so this should not be a large contributor to ASID shortages. "Since DB2 and MQ use the ESAR instruction, they cannot be called from a job using a reuseable ASID. Most annoying." I have been told that their are many instances of ESAR to the caller's address space throughout the DB2 and MQ code, so there would be considerable cost to convert all of these to ESAIR.
