I created a REXX EXEC that checks pre-defined ranges (Critical-Warning-Informational) of the Page|Spool utilization percentage. For Critical & Warning emails are sent. I run this check every 15 minutes but I'm afraid with a runaway process, email recipients and Operators won't see the message in time. So maybe it's time to look at an automation package. I have already received two ideas for packages.
Thank you, Scott -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Bohnsack Sent: Friday, October 30, 2009 9:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: CP Message HCP401I I used to work with a guy who put together code that does what you're talking about using VMSCHED with WAKEUP. It monitored spool utilization, including rate of change of spool utilization. I think at each snapshot interval, and I don't remember what interval the code used, it did a "SPOOLCHN ALL (HIGH 10", saving the output for the next interval so that if there was a sudden increase in spool utilization, it could, probably, pinpoint the user accumulating the increase. I don't have the code anymore, but it would be a SMOP (simple matter of programming) to put it together.
