CA/VM:Spool does all this and more. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Bohnsack Sent: July 11, 2006 09:25 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Paging Space Question
If Endicott spends any time on this "opportunity", related to what you said about the situation of going from 90% page full to an abend is the spool going from 90% and putting out an HCPPGT401I message to 100% and putting out an HCPPGT400I message. On any system I have ever supported, I want to be notified way before the 90% mark. A looping user can take the spool from 90% to 100% very quickly. I would prefer to be able to set the message threshold(s) in SYSTEM CONFIG. Ideally, I would like to see a message put out if there is a sudden, big change.
