ADSM MVS Server 2.1.13

Can anyone running an MVS server provide me with information on the
dispatch priority you assign to ADSM?  . . . snip . . .

Virginia,
This is an extract of our IPS list (non MVSrs please forgive the MVS only 
acronyms).  We also are CPU bound.  Based on this priority list, online systems 
such as IMS CICS and TSO will impact ADSM performance.  Conversely, ADSM will 
impact third period TSO and BATCH.  The impact is mitigated because we are 
running a 6 processor box (3090/600E).  As a result ADSM only gets about 1/6 of 
the CPU under full load.  We do have to minimize ADSM load during high volume 
periods such as month end, but otherwise it seems to work for us.
