Enqueue Conflict Management Facility

You can use the following parameters on a QNAME statement to control the way the ECMF handles conflicts for resources:

ECMF

Tells ECMF whether to issue conflict messages for resources requested on this QNAME.

REPORTAFTER

Tells ECMF when to issue the first message about a conflict for one of these resources.

REPORTCYCLE

Tells ECMF how long to wait before issuing subsequent conflict messages for one of these resources.

For example, the following QNAME statement tells ECMF to issue conflict messages for resources in conflict under SYSIEWLP. The first message is issued after the conflict has persisted for 60 seconds. Then, messages are issued every 60 seconds until the conflict is resolved.

SYSIEWLP ECMF=YES REPORTAFTER=60 REPORTCYCLE=60

Note that you cannot use the exempt list to tell ECMF to perform special processing for resources. If you do not want ECMF to process some of the resources with the same QNAME, then you need to code one or more of the optional ECMF exit routines.

Note: For information about coding these routines, see the chapter “User Exits.”
