Adjusting Record Compression

Record buffer blocks (RBBs) held for a dialog can be compressed during a pseudo-converse. Record compression increases storage efficiency but causes increased CPU utilization. This option is appropriate only at sites that need to maximize storage usage.

Record compression is only in effect when resources are fixed and the fast mode threshold has not been exceeded.

Record compression can be enabled by using the system generation ADSO statement.

Note: For more information, see the CA IDMS System Generation Guide.

At runtime, the current record compression setting can be changed by using the DCMT VARY ADSO command.

Note: For more information about this DCMT command, see the CA IDMS System Tasks and Operator Commands Guide.
