memory pools

["Cyndi Bradberry" <CyndiB@xxxxxxxx>]

Everyone,
We have been receiving complaints from users that the system is slow for 
approximately one month. None of us are tuning specialists, so directions to 
the manual must be specific.
 
Here is the System Status screen:

Pool 1,3, & 4 are set to Calc, pool 5 is static. 
 
As you can see below, most of our subsystems are in pool 2. Byteme (programmers 
sybsystem) and QINTER are shown in 2 & 4. QUSRWRK is in pool 2. We have been 
busy beavers and have nearly 80 jobs running in QUSRWRK (socket servers that 
are in TIMW mostly).

Our interactive users are fussing that things are running slowly. There are 60 
to 80 interactive users. We have an enterprise box, model 810, 7406 processor 
feature.
 
Do we need to reassign where pools are ? Maybe get another chip of memory ?  
 
Suggestions welcome.
