ADDPOOL Command

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

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

Operand	Explanation
count	Represents the number of buffers you want to allocate in the size specified with the size variable. The minimum value that you may define is 3.
nn	Assigns a number to the buffer pool you are defining. Specify a value from 1 to 15.
size	Represents the 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. Specify a value from 3 to 255. Default Value: 16

Note:

ADDPOOL commands are usually 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, issue this command:

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