Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

We are a large bank and can't afford to be down as long as it takes for POWER to format additional Data file extents.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

Provide a batch POWER utility that will format new IJQFILE and IJDFILE extents and allow us to do a POFFLOAD LOAD to the new extents while still running the production POWER. Then to begin using them, we can just point to the new labels and do a warm start. The logic already exists; just make it a batch job. We're migrating to new DASD very shortly but there is no quick solution for preparing the

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

Moving or enlarging existing extents requires our on-line banking systems to be down too long, and we may want to add more than one additional extent at one time.
