Dynamically changing certain BPXPRMxx parameter values z/OS UNIX System Services Planning GA32-0884-00 |
|
These parameters specify maximum values: MAXPROCSYS, MAXPTYS, IPCMSGNIDS, IPCSEMNIDS, IPCSHMNIDS, IPCSHMSPAGES, and SHLIBRGNSIZE. You can use the SETOMVS or SET OMVS command to dynamically increase the current system setting, but if you specify a value that is too low or too high, you will get an error message. To use a value outside the range, you must change the specification in BPXPRMxx and reIPL. While you can specify the SHRLIBMAXPAGES parameter to specify a maximum value, it will be accepted but will not have any impact on the system. The value that you specify will never be reached, because user-shared library objects are no longer supported. To avoid specifying a value that is too low or too high, you can use a formula to calculate the maximum values. The minimum value is sometimes the current setting of the parameter and sometimes lower than that, as identified in the description of each parameter. Example: The following example shows you how to perform
the calculations using the IPCMSGNIDS parameter, which determines
the highest number of unique message queues in the system. To use
SETOMVS IPCMSGNIDS=xxx to increase the current setting, you
must calculate the highest number that you can specify. According
to the description of IPCMSGNIDS in IPCMSGNIDS and IPCSEMNIDS,
the formula is:
For this example, the current value of IPCMSGNIDS is 1000; the
value of IPCMSGNIDS at IPL is also 1000 (that is, 1000 is the initial
value). Use the formula in the following way:
To change to a number higher than 4096 (but lower than 20000), you will have to change BPXPRMxx and reIPL. |
