Could end up with too many false alarms. I recall many years ago we ran a CA-Datacom MUF with a 64M region. Perhaps once a month we'd get an S80A abend.
I had a chat with CA and they said give it more memory. Our sysprog was reluctant and kept monitoring storage use and claimed that it was storage creep. I disagreed and said it just needed the storage to optimise a minimum of a weeks typical workload. I convinced management that I wanted 640M and got it. Storage monitoring showed that it maxed out at around 500M. Now we could have issued alerts every 4M and gone into a panic. So if you know what the problem will be, you fix it before and don't worry about anticipation. OTOH, there are DBAs who want unlimited buffers and it appears to resolve bad SQL <smirk> On Fri, Feb 5, 2021 at 10:29 AM Charles Mills <[email protected]> wrote: > I believe the Power Off function prevents all future failues. > > Charles > > > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Lizette Koehler > Sent: Thursday, February 4, 2021 2:17 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Any way to anticipate failure messages > > That made me smile - OS/VU I had forgotten about that one > > Lizette > > > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf > Of Gibney, Dave > Sent: Thursday, February 4, 2021 2:58 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Any way to anticipate failure messages > > http://www.weathergraphics.com/tim/ibm.htm > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On > > Behalf Of Lizette Koehler > > Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2021 1:53 PM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: Any way to anticipate failure messages > > > > So the problem is to know what events or message will occur and then > > prevent them from happening. > > > > The Omnipresence SysTem > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On > > Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin > > Sent: Thursday, February 4, 2021 2:17 PM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: Any way to anticipate failure messages > > > > On Thu, 4 Feb 2021 21:59:22 +0100, Radoslaw Skorupka wrote: > > > > >W dniu 04.02.2021 o 21:40, Lizette Koehler pisze: > > >> > > >> As always something happens and management reacts > > >> > > >> We are looking to see if there is any tool that could trap any > > >> message or event on Mainframe and generate a daily report for the > > >> SYSPROGs to review to ensure zero failures > > > > > >Real answer: NO. > > > > > As I read it, the OP recognizes the inevitable "[a]s always" > > occurrence of failures and wishes to prevent management's receiving > > immediate notification of those failures. > > > > -- gil > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send > > email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send > > email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email > to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > -- Wayne V.
