Shared resource pools

You can define multiple VSAM local shared resource pools. Multiple local shared resource pools allow you to specify multiple VSAM subpools of the same size.

You create multiple shared resource pools and then place in each one a VSAM subpool that is the same size as other VSAM subpools in other local shared resource pools. You can then assign a specific database data set to a specific subpool by assigning the data set to a shared resource pool. The data set is directed to a specific subpool within the assigned shared resource pool based on the data set's control interval size.
