VSE components and third party products increasingly require more subtasks.  We have a Development VSE instance where we continue to run into the task limit.

Ease of Use, Performance

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?)

 

Current solution is to define multiple VSE instances.  This duplicates all system management products and VSE-related files, uses more processor, more DASD, more systems management, more VSE-to-VSE interfaces.  Costs:  additional staff $100K annually, additional DASD $20K annually, additional processor power $30K annually.

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

 

     

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

 

Development staff is limited in the combination of CICS, DB2 Client, VSAM Redirector, third-party products, etc. which can run simultaneously.
