Auxiliary Address Space Operation

The SCS address space automatically creates an auxiliary address space, when needed, to schedule a request. The auxiliary address space executes in a workload manager (WLM) dependent enclave that the SCS address space creates. If there are scheduled services, all SCS auxiliary address spaces remain active. When there are no more requests to run, the inactive auxiliary address spaces are stopped.

Note: The SCS address space creates and manages up to 20 auxiliary address spaces depending on the number of concurrent service requests processed.

You can specify SCS address space parameters to limit the maximum number of concurrently active auxiliary address spaces to a number less than 20.

You do not have to perform automated operations for the auxiliary address spaces; the SCS address space dynamically initiates them. In the unlikely event that the SCS address space fails, all auxiliary address spaces stop.
