Your NCPs have pools of storage that contain buffers, the size of which is specified when the NCP is generated. These buffers are used to hold data temporarily while it is in transit to a destination.
When defining pools in the generation definition of an NCP, space can be reserved for control blocks. The pool can be defined to contain a particular number of control blocks. Control blocks can also be dynamically allocated when there are no more defined control blocks in the appropriate pools.
Listing NCP pool/table usage lets you monitor the use of defined or dynamically allocated control blocks. If a pool is being used almost to capacity, it may mean that the NCP generation definition should be changed to increase the size of the pool.
To access buffer and pool/table usage
A selection list of control blocks for the nominated NCP appears, showing basic pool usage information. The list is sorted so that the pools with the highest maximum use percentage are placed at the top of the list.
Displaying a formatted dump of a control block lets you view the length of a control block, the fields in the control block, the length of these fields, and the type of data that a control block contains.
To display a formatted dump of the GPA control block
The View Control Block panel appears.
Note: To view all information associated with the list, press F11 (Right). For information about the fields displayed on this panel, press F1 (Help).
Buffers are taken from pools when they are needed to store data. Buffers can be set aside specifically to receive incoming data; these are known as committed buffers. NCPView lets you monitor the number, use, and status of the buffers on your NCP.
To display buffer usage for an NCP
The NCPView : NCP Buffer Counts panel appears.
