PROCESS Parameter

This parameter determines how many process blocks are allocated in the extended private area of the CA OPS/MVS main address space when the CA OPS/MVS address space initializes.

Note: The value of the SSEXEXITHICOUNT parameter indicates the high water mark for the number of these process blocks.

Allocating the right number of process blocks is critical. The number cannot be too low, because each event processed by CA OPS/MVS requires its own process block. However, setting the value too high has its own implications; the number of process blocks you specify may use so much virtual storage that CA OPS/MVS fails to function correctly.

Important! For these reasons, always discuss the PROCESS parameter with CA Customer Support before setting it to a value higher than 150.

Note: During initialization, CA OPS/MVS may increase the value of the PROCESS parameter if it is set too low for the current environment.

Default value

30 (blocks)

Other possible values

Any number of blocks between 10 and 350

Set or modify this parameter…

At initialization

Example: PROCESS

This function allocates 50 process blocks in the CA OPS/MVS main address space.
