Allocating the AutoStatus Repository Database Datasets

The data collected by the AutoStatus process varies widely depending on your usage and the extent of your defined criteria. Therefore, determining the appropriate sizing of the index area (IXX1018) and the data area (STA1018) takes some user experience at each site.

Depending on the number of Snapshot Status rows captured and the length of time they are kept, the amount of data could be significant.

Both the index and data areas have dynamic extend set to Yes. However, verify that there is adequate space on the selected volume or volumes to allow the extend process.

Monitor the growth of the AutoStatus database and add space as needed.
