At one row per second, indeed, it would take over a m...

Welcome aboard. The answer is yes, but at least one of the installations must be an "-itag" installation, that uses non-default shared memory keys, etc., so that the two servers' working sets are not in conflict. Full details of -itag installations are in the installation and upgrade guide. However,...

Is it the value of the environment variable or the name of the environment variable that you wish to change globally?

If it's the latter, then I don't see that you have any option other than to edit an export file.

Re: Will compiling a sequencer compiles all the underlying j

Will compiling a sequencer compiles all the underlying jobs? Thanks No, because you can not compile a sequencer alone. A sequencer is one of the components you can use in a job sequence. Please be careful with terminology. (Yes, I know that the official IBM training materials aren't always 100% acc...
