Notes:
  1. RESUSAGE is meaningful only if the NODETYPE=NN start option is also used.

Specifies how many times a resource (node or TG) is used during route selection before that resource is considered overused. After a resource is overused, any routing trees using it will be reconstructed in an attempt to use alternate resources. RESUSAGE is valid only when NODETYPE=NN.

Note: RESUSAGE=0 indicates that the resource is never considered to be overused.

RESUSAGE does not apply to ENs and endpoint TGs.

You can change the value of RESUSAGE with the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command while VTAM® is running.
