Region setup in 5 groups automated by TSA Regions for Bank office applications Regions for Electronic Banking Regions for shared Bank applications Regions for AG Insurance Regions available on all subsystems Regions started initially: IMP1/IMP2 : 90 IMP3/IMP4 : 120 IMP7/IMP8 : 80 All regions are PWFI except during maintenance window Preload lists created for those running more then 1 TXN | 04/04/2019 |

Region groups are created based on CL1 parameter Setup Classes Region groups are created based on CL1 parameter Most Regions only have CL1 specified Older regions have up to 4 classes defined About 149 different classes are defined 121 serving 1 transaction 16 serving up to 20 transactions 12 serving more then 20 transactions Special classes Class 9 = Technical issue Class 10 = Application unavailable | 04/04/2019 |
