Using that route you need to look at the PQL parameters to adjust quotas 
and other process limits per architecture.

When we were running a mixed architecture VAX/Alpha cluster, we chose to 
have separate UAF files, because:

a) Using PQL_M* parameters affects all users on a system; we
   wanted per user tuning instead.
b) We were running a large production line so couldn't afford to
   get this wrong.
c) With the DCL procedures we had in place, we only had to execute
   the same command twice to create an account per architecture.
   Not a big deal.
