So, before you started raising the limits, did you do any displays to see what
was using up the threads?
You might want to look at doing the following commands next time it happens,
rather than just raising values. You might have a run away task that will
continue to cause this issue.
D OMVS[{,SUMMARY|S} ]
|,{ASID|A}=ALL
|,{ASID|A}=asid
|,{ASID|A}=DUBW
|,U=userid
|,{PID}=processid[,BRL]
|,{FILE|F[,{NAME|N}=filesystem ][,CAPS|C]}
|,{,OWNER|O}=systemname
|,{,EXCEPTION|E}
|,{,TYPE|T}=type}]
|,{VSERVER|V}
|,{PFS|P}
|,{CINET|CI}=All|TPname
|,{OPTIONS|O}
|,{LIMITS|L[,PID=ProcessId][,RESET]}
|,{SER}
|,ACTIVATE=SERVICE |,{WAITERS|W}
|,MF[{=ALL|A}]
|,MF={PURGE|P}]
[,L={a|name|name-a}]
{SOCKETS|SO}
Review the output in the IBM manual to see which ones might help you determine
the root cause and then go back to the owner of the process and find out how to
keep it from happening in the future.
The following link is a good description of how to use the commands to
determine the consumer
