Hi Tommy,

I think you've already found out that setting the CSA limit to zero in VTAM isn't a great idea. I'm always hesitant to set storage limits on any subsystem to zero (or no limit) - I've had a couple of similar problems over the years.

Hi all,

One of IBM expert tell our shop to setup the CSA limit =0 in VTAM, but we found IST561I STORAGE UNAVAILABLE: CRA4 BUFFER POOL problem when one of mq server abnormal connect/reconnect to our host system. As we set the CSA limit to 0 therefore VTAM use up all MVS ECSA. All commands cannot be issued includes VTAM and MVS command. We IPL the LPAR finally. Is it a good practise to set the CSA limit to 0. Anyone can share ?


Any help will be appreciated.
