Write triggers

In the answer area (IXGANSAA) returned by IXGWRITE, bit Ansaa_WriteTriggersReturned indicates that the Ansaa_WriteTriggers section has been filled in.

The write triggers are returned for successful IXGWRITE requests (RETCODE = 0 or 4) and show log stream primary storage consumption information.

ANSAA_STRUCTUSEPERCENT is returned for coupling facility structure based log streams and indicates the percentage of CF structure elements in use (between 0 and 100) Start of changefor the log stream.End of change

ANSAA_STAGINGUSEPERCENT is returned for DASDONLY log streams and for CF structure based log streams that duplex to staging data sets. The value indicates the percentage of staging data set space in use (between 0 and 100).

The flags ANSAA_WRITEABOVEHIGHOFFLOAD, ANSAA_WRITEELEVATEDCAPACITY and ANSAA_WRITEIMMINENTCAPACITY are filled in based on current primary storage usage and log stream definition HIGHOFFLOAD percentage. For CF structure based log streams, the flags are based on ANSAA_STRUCTUSEPERCENT. For DASDONLY log streams, the flags are based on ANSAA_STAGINGUSEPERCENT. ANSAA_WRITEABOVEHIGHOFFLOAD indicates the usage is greater than HIGHOFFLOAD. Start of changeANSAA_WRITEELEVATEDCAPACITY indicates the usage above the 1/2 point between HIGHOFFLOAD and the log steam imminent threshold.End of change

Start of changeANSAA_WRITEIMMINENTCAPACITY indicates the usage above the imminent threshold. The derived value for the imminent threshold is the 2/3 point between HIGHOFFLOAD and 100% full.End of change
