Address Space Message Rate Control

Any address space can be in a problem condition wherein it issues too many messages. An example of this could be an application that is looping in an address space, causing repeat messages.

Because of this, and the critical nature of address spaces, CA OPS/MVS features a set of parameters that help you to control the flow of messages in them. These parameters do this by enabling you to limit the flow and they monitor the message flow based on your set limits.

The MSGTHRESHOLD parameter sets the finite number of messages that an address space can hold. The MSGDRAINRATE parameter limits how fast these messages can flow at a rate of messages per second.
