The usual trick is to recycle the ASID restarting the non-reusable ASIDs, IIRC.

Thanks Rob, Robin,

It was the IEA_ASIDS healthcheck that triggered the alert.

In this case it's due to recycling ADABAS regions. They do it weekly and each 
region terminates with this message:

IEF352I ADDRESS SPACE UNAVAILABLE

MXI currently shows this, so you can see that there's not long to go:

 Address Space Definitions                    
 Maximum Defined                   500             
 Reserved Non-Reusable        500             
 Reserved Start Commands        5             
                                              
 Address Space Type        Number  Percentage 
 Available For Use             29           2 
 Marked Not-Reusable       816          81 
 Started Tasks Active         111          11 
 Batch Jobs Active                7           0 
 TSO Users Active                 2           0 
 Initiators Active                   39           3 

I notice this suggestion in the IBM documentation:

An address space that becomes nonreusable when it terminates (that is, message 
IEF352I ADDRESS SPACE UNAVAILABLE is issued when the address space terminates) 
should be considered for using a reusable ASIDs. Specify REUSASID=YES on the 
START command for the address spaces or specify ATTR=(REUSASID) on the ASCRE. 
Investigate and remediate any 0D3 abends that result from the use of a reusable 
ASID.

I don't like the look of those 0D3 abends though.

Any thoughts on this ?

Regards,
John.
