I was recently reviewing i5/OS performance data when I spotted an analysis message that said I should Separate batch from interactive jobs. This prompted me to investigate where batch jobs can intersect with interactive jobs and why it’s bad to run the two of them together in the same subsystem. Here’s what I discovered and what you can do if your batch work starts contaminating your interactive subsystem.

Where the Problem Develops

To ensure that critical batch jobs are not held up in a single threaded job queue, some administrators and programmers routinely submit batch jobs that need immediate
