Exploit 64-bit storage area for DRLPLC

As we have many IMS hosted on the LPAR, 31-bit storage area is running thin. We would like to use larger BUFFER SIZE to run Collector to improve performance, but there's not much BTB storage around to share. There are plenty of real storage on the...

Report that analyzes the behavior of CICS Workload when changing from one LPAR A to another LPAR B (with different capacity) and if this LPAR B supports this new workload (if the LPAR B does not support it, the report should indicate what changes need to be made to the LPAR B to support the CICS Workload)

We received this request from management because it would help in evaluating the renewal of the contract with IBM.

Move the IMS structures above the bar, 64-bit memory

As machines get bigger and faster, they process more IMS transactions per second and we need more storage to process this. We have run out of 31-bit storage. We'd like to move the IMS structures above the bar, 64-bit memory.
