Re: Lots of QZDASOINIT jobs

[Nathan Andelin <nandelin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Concern over the number of QZDASOINIT Jobs seems to arise on a regular
basis from system administrators who have opened up the database server
ports and activated the database server jobs on their systems. But they
don't really have any control over how applications and how many
application clients may use those services. Once you've opened up the gate,
application developers control how and how much of those resources are
used. You should ask them.
