Most of it is BS. Scratch the surface and you usually find capacity or
performance issues around the Windows servers while the management blithely
blames the mainframe because they don’t know how anything works.

I came to the opposite conclusion: I couldn't see why coding was required

And, because my lens is more-or-less performance, I thought making the
application scale was the urgent and safer thing. Yes, I realise
application changes can be necessary to make something scale but then
we're back to desperation. :-(

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Wanted Civil programmers in New Jersey urgently
Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List
it seems that the huge increase in benefit request in New Jersey is
causing
their benefit systems to be overloaded and not able to handle the volume
of
requests.
It doesn't seem like a load issue but more the application needs to be
changed. Otherwise you would just throw more MIPS at it
