MIM0054W

File type - Approaching critical space limit

Reason:

There are two reasons why CA MIM would issue this message:

• The contents of the control file had exceeded the SET MIM CFSIZEWARN threshold value and CA MIM has recently issued a MIM0072 message.
• CA MIM had almost exhausted all of the usable space in the file. If this control file is a virtual control file, then the value “VCF” appears in place of the type variable. If this control file is a DASD control file, its ID appears in place of this variable.

You may see this message issued several times as CA MIM tries to regain space in this file. If it cannot regain space, CA MIM issues message MIM0055, marks the file in ERROR, and migrates to a backup control file.

Action:

Wait to see whether CA MIM can regain space in this control file. You may need to allocate a larger control file in place of this one. Before doing this, use the DISPLAY IO command to see how many blocks are allocated to this control file. If you are using the CA MII (GDIF) component, then you can use the DISPLAY GDIF CFSIZE command to estimate how large the control file should be.

To replace this control file with a larger one, deallocate this control file using the DEALLOCATE command and allocate the new control file using the ALLOCATE command. DEALLOCATE and ALLOCATE must be done on all systems. The new control file is formatted automatically as you allocate it to CA MIM.
