Utilizing Resources Effectively

Utilizing Resources Effectively

We recommend the following procedures for the most effective use of your resources:

• Turn off the Auxiliary Trace function when not in use. For details, see the User Guide.
• Use the CICS SYNCPOINT to free resources as soon as possible. For details, see the User Guide.
• Read a record once before requesting it with intent to update. For details, see the User Guide.
• Specify RES=YES in the CICS System Definition data set (CSD) for the most frequently used User Requirements Tables (URTs).
• Allocate enough threads that users need not wait an inordinate amount of time for a free thread. For details, see Allocating Threads.
• Adjust priority specifications both in the operating system and in CA Datacom/DB. For details, see Setting Priority in the Operating System and CA Datacom/DB.
