Food for thought - separate MAS for each environment, but same SYSPLEX. Though better to have each environment in separate SYSPLEX and MAS. (That also allows better separation for implementing changes to each environment.

We have a 3 system plex, with two of those systems, DEV and PROD, in a JES2 MAS. We had an incident recently where a development job got into a loop and used up all spool. This in turn, caused our PROD system to come to, basically, a screeching halt.

Management wants to investigate removing PROD from the MAS.

Beyond the obvious cons below, what else am I missing? Will a cold start be required?

CONS:
1.  No longer monitor production jobs from DEV
2.  User's will need to logon to production to check on production jobs
3.  Significant changes to desk procedures
4. May require changes to production jobs and/or CA7 (convert from SYSAFF to ROUTE XEQ)
