Dear list:

   We are facing some alerts related to shortage of Console Message Buffers due

messages.

Haha! When I first saw this post, I was stunned that anyone could run out of Channel Measurement Blocks (CMBs)!

The JES2 $HASP050 message indicates a *temporary* condition that will eventually clear itself. Having said that, storage is cheap these days and 270 is considered a very small number. Personally, I would raise that to whatever value you need to avoid shortages.

Despite BUFNUM=100 being the default, IBM recommends you "[start with] BUFNUM=1000 as a minimum starting value and increase the value using the $T CONDEF command if the $HASP050 message indicates a shortage. Because console messages must wait for buffers, too small a value slows the system."
