My health check says the same, of course. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Skip Robinson Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 10:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: XCF MAXMSG
The text of health check XCF_DEFAULT_MAXMSG says this: CHECK PARM: 2000 IXCH0426I The XCF transport class MAXMSG value is currently equal to or larger than the owner specified value 2000. . .

Which maxmsg? > Hi Bob, Here is a note I have in my COUPLExx members. The advise probably comes from a Mark Brooks SHARE presentation or whitepaper. /* MAXMSG should be high enough for at least 30 messages/buffers */ /* default MAXMSG was 750 (chg in os/390 r2 from 500) */ /* default MAXMSG is currently 2000 (chg in z/os 1.7 from 750) */ My MAXMSG is set to 2000 (the z/OS 1.7 default) in CLASSDEF for all of my transport classes.
