Technical Notes › Regulate the OSF Servers › Server Termination

Server Termination

Because starting servers uses a great amount of system overhead, CA OPS/MVS observes the following rules regarding server termination:

• When any transaction is on the OSF execute queue, CA OPS/MVS never terminates a server due to actions initiated by OSFMIN or OSFMAX.
• CA OPS/MVS performs only one such termination in any 30-second interval.

Generally, CA OPS/MVS server control is designed to do the following:

• Minimize starts of servers
• Minimize wait time in server queues

If a CANCEL command has been issued for a server and the address space does not terminate in one minute, then CA OPS/MVS issues message OPS3716O (which you can automate). A sample rule that handles such a situation is called OPS3716. It is located in the &hlq.CCLXRULB data set on the CA OPS/MVS distribution media.
