RE: ILE in Default Activation Group

["Jack Derham" <derhamj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for a very precise statement regarding this situation. I am in the
throws of working the OPM/ILE mix problems out for a customer. Real mess,
but we are making progress. Looking forward to your presentation next week
in Atlanta.

The sky will not fall (today) BUT ...... You can also drive the wrong way
down a freeway and not have an accident.  That doesn't mean it was a good
idea!

The biggest single problem with running ILE in the Default Activation Group
(DAG) is that it wasn't designed to work that way.  Because of the this, the
problems are often subtle and when they surface hard to diagnose.  It may
also constrain your application design in the future.

More to the point though - in order to safely mix ILE and OPM programs you
have to know _waaayyyy_ more about ILE than if you just do it the right way
and have ILE programs run in named AGs and OPM programs run in the DAG.
Period - end of story.

If you want to understand the topic a little more try "The Seven Deadly Sins
of ILE" which you can find here
