Record count warnings in CMCI
Setting up record count warnings causes a CICS management client interface (CMCI) request to fail if a request is likely to result in the retrieval of an unacceptably large amount of data. You set up record count warnings by specifying a nonzero value for the DEFAULTWARNCNT initialization parameter during WUI server configuration when setting up CMCI.
DEFAULTWARNCNT can take an integer value in the range 0 - 99999999. The default value is 0, meaning that no warnings are issued.
If the warning mechanism determines that the number of records
to be returned is greater than the value of the warning count, the
request fails with an HTTP 403 response code. You must issue a new
request with different values for the SCOPE, CRITERIA and, in some
cases, PARAMETER options to retrieve any results. If the returned
value is less than or equal to the warning count value, the request
is processed, in the usual way.
Note: In CMCI requests you can use
the options count, index and SUMMONLY to limit or prevent the display
of records. However, these options do not influence the number of
records requested and have no affect on the record count warning mechanism.
This feature does not apply to all resources. In the CMCI, record
count warnings applies only to CMCI requests associated with the following

The DEFAULTWARNCNT parameter also affects the behavior of the WUI. See Record count warnings in the WUI for a description of the WUI record count warning mechanism.
