The case I know best is JES2, which now includes tasks JES2AUX and JES2MON. The 
classic single-task JES2 problem was a hang on one member of a MAS. All other 
systems complained about access to the checkpoint, while the hung system 
couldn't even respond to simple commands. It's hung, after all. A second 
address space--which is designed to depend on minimal resources--is in a better 
position to analyze and report on the problem, perhaps allowing recovery short 
of killing the wounded guy.

Subject: (External):Re: General question about address space

If I understand your question.

Take DFHSM.  It can be one address space or multiple Address Spaces (MASH). The 
benefit to multiple address spaces is you could use WLM to control which one 
gets more or less priority in the system.  So rather than one large DFHSM 
address space, you could have, as an example, DFHSM1 for Main processing and 
recalls, DFHSM2 for migrations and backups, DFHSM3 for Recovery.  Then use WLM 
to set the priority on them.

So Recalls get a high priority address space.  Migrations or backup a low 
priority address space.

Of course if I did not understand your question, then this is probably the 
wrong answer.
