CA-L-Serv Commands › Routing Command Output › ADDPOOL Command

ADDPOOL Command

The ADDPOOL command defines LSR buffer pools for files that CA‑L‑Serv is managing.

Syntax

ADDPool nn (size, count)... [STRNO (nnn)]

Parameters

count

Number of buffers you want to allocate in the size specified with the size variable.

Value: 3 to 65,535.

nn

Assigns a number to the buffer pool you are defining.

Value: 1 to 15.

size

Buffer size in bytes.

STRNO

Determines how many VSAM placeholders are concurrently allocated for the file. This option limits the number of current requests that clients can make for the file.

Value: 3 to 255.

Default: 16

Note:

• The ADDPOOL commands are typically issued from the CA-L‑Serv parameter data set. Specify them between the ATTACH command for the file server and the ADDFILE commands for files.
• You can specify up to four (size,count) pairs.
• When you share files in a multiple‑MVS system environment, issue ADDPOOL commands only on the system where your host server is running.
• VSAM allocates approximately 340 bytes of ESQA per placeholder.

Example

To define a buffer pool that is suitable for the page files in CA Bundl:

ADDPOOL 1 (1024,10) (32768,10)
