Does anyone have QQRYDEGREE set to something other than *NONE, not

improvements in your end of day type processing? I've asked our
software vendor/VAR and they always leave it at *NONE. Since I have
to jump through hoops to be able to change a sysval, I'm hoping
someone has some experience before I go through the trouble of
getting dispensation to change it and test for a week or so.

The Query Degree Of Parallel Processing (QQRYDEGREE) value can be controlled _within a job_ with any of the Change Query Attributes (CHGQRYA) [using the DEGREE parameter], the QAQQINI feature [PARALLEL_DEGREE keyword in the current query options file (QAQQINI)], or the SET CURRENT DEGREE SQL statement. The batch routing for the EOD processing could set the IO parallelism [for lack of Symmetric MultiProcessing (SMP) capability being available].
