Job Optimizer

• Lengthy processing time

• Contention for resources

• Unbalanced workloads

Job Optimizer uses parallelism, workload distribution, and data sharing to reduce batch processing time and balance the workload across your system or Parallel Sysplex. Job Optimizer reduces the elapsed time of batch jobs and job streams by running job steps in parallel and by automatically routing job steps to available images in the Parallel Sysplex.

Job Optimizer is provided with MainView Batch Optimizer–Advanced Edition.
