RSM_REAL

Description:

The REAL setting in IEASYSxx, which controls the amount of central storage that can be allocated concurrently for ADDRSPC=REAL (V=R) jobs.

Reason for check:

IBM® suggests that the REAL setting should be set to 0. However, this would not be valid if you have a need to run V=R jobs. Setting REAL=0 in IEASYSxx will improve performance.

z/OS® releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1R4 and later, in both ESA and z/Architecture® modes.

User override of IBM values:

The following sample shows the defaults for customizable values for this check. Use this sample to make permanent check customizations in an HZSPRMxx parmlib member used at IBM Health Checker for z/OS startup. If you just want a one-time only update to the check defaults, omit the first line (ADDREPLACE POLICY) and use the UPDATE statement on a MODIFY hzsproc command. Note that using non-POLICY UPDATEs in HZSPRMxx can lead to unexpected results and is therefore not recommended. End of change
