Re: Workload manager
We have a modified the code which we got from Amdahl which they called JOBSTREAM MANAGER this code assignes job class based on how much storage you need and how much time you want and if you use tape drives. I was hoping that we could do away with these exits as they are going to be very hard to retrofit as IBM has broken exit 3 2 into two parts and the part I need to use now runs in the user's address space. The PCE in nolonger addressable. There for I will have to rework these exits and we want to get rid of as many exits as we can.

What we had (as other places might not) are consultants they tend to be the sneaky ones. I ended up writing a jes2 exit and a MPF exit to do pretty much what I wanted. It was not a lot of code and extremely easy to implement (no changes for users). The number of tests running in production inits and tape mounts went down about 25% . The other thing that I was able to enforce was TIME= and stepcats (eliminate them) It was worth the effort to write the exits, IMO. I think it was a days coding (this was 15 years ago) at most.
