Hello Listers We only perform scheduled IPLs of our systems twice a year. During these 6 month periods, there is a large amount of IODF change implemented by dynamic Activate (by another team).
We have had a number of occasions when IPLing our systems where the Private area (below) has increased (not so much of a problem till folks start using it and I take it away again) or decreased (big problem as some applications won’t start) as a result of the change in SQA size without a compensating change in the CSA= parameter in IEASYSxx to maintain the top boundary of Private. The problem is caused by SQA size being “determined” rather than “specified” at IPL time. Then CSA, which is specified, is bolted on the bottom and rounded to the next Mb boundary. Does anyone know of a programmatic way to determine the approximate size that SQA would be at the next IPL assuming no more Activates are performed? Is it simply a matter of counting the UCBs below 16Mb (via UCBSCAN?) and multiplying by x’112’ as per HCD Planning manual? Any pointers gratefully received.
