Great tips -- thanks all. Using RMF screens (which I have access to) and looking over someone's shoulder for WLM screen's (which I don't have access to) I found that my assumptions were basically correct, but that I was looking at the wrong thing.
Our production DDF thread rules are: 1 SI DBP1 2 . PN . * DDFPROD (Our test DDF thread on the same LPAR looks similar, but with DDFTEST.) DDFPROD is defined as 1 period, Imp = 2, 90% within 2 secs. DDFTEST is defined as 2 periods, 1st Period Duration=10000, Imp = 3, 90% within 2 secs 2nd Period Imp = 5, Execution Velocity of 50 Using PM and RMF panals, I found my user's thread running with DDFPROD priority. So, I'm going to make my suggestion to add: 2 CI MSACCESS DDFTEST to the DBP1 definition and see where it goes. Thanks!
