Default: 10000 and 1000000 respectively

AOFMAXSAYS and REXXMAXSAYS (REQ rules only)

Limits the number of OPS/REXX SAY statements in one rule invocation.

Default Values: 1000 and 100000 respectively

Limits the number of host commands that can execute in one rule invocation.

Default Values: 100 and 100000 respectively

Limits the amount of elapsed time that a rule has to execute for each invocation.

Default Values: 10 and unlimited respectively

AOFFIRELIMIT

Limits the number of times that a rule can execute in one minute. A value of 0 turns limit checking off (both globally and at the rule level).

Default Value: 10000

AOFLIMITDISABLE

A YES value disables a rule if the AOFFIRELIMIT limit has been reached. A NO value temporarily disables the rule until the AOFFIRELIMIT interval has expired.

Default Value: NO

Default Value: 1000

COMMANDMAX

Depending on the logic that you implement in your AOF rules, you may need to increase the default values of these parameters. For details, see the Parameter Reference.
