Intel AS/400 RISC Server - Manual (Page 28)

Server Dynamic Tuning Recommendations
On the new systems and mixed mode servers have the QDYNPTYSCD and QDYNPTYADJ system
value set on. This preserves non-interactive capacities and the interactive response times will be dynamic
beyond the knee regardless of the setting. Also set non-interactive class run priorities to less than 35.
On earlier servers and 2/98 model 170 systems use your interactive requirements to determine the
settings. For “pure interactive” environments turn the QDYNPTYADJ system value off. in mixed
environments with important non-interactive work, leave the values on and change the run priority of
important non-interactive work to be less than 35.
