I would start with the CFSIZER tool on www.ibm.com - not great, but it would be 
a good starting point.

Next use $DACTIVATE on you V2.2 system.  See what it says.  The ability to 
upgrade is not as important as how many BERTs you need or what the checkpoint 
size needs to be.

Then if you have the room. Double those numbers

You can never have too much room in JES due to control blocks changing over time

I am up to a 100 cylinder checkpoint and a cf structure size of 78M 

In prod I have a cf structure for jes2 of 150MB

There was a lot of try this, then try that.  JES2 CKPT allocation has become 
more of an art.

Allan,
Thank you.
How would I know how large to make it, leaving a reasonable amount of free 
space?
