Parameters for Facilities › AOF Parameters › AOFFIRELIMIT Parameter

AOFFIRELIMIT Parameter

This parameter limits the number of times that a single AOF rule can execute per minute.

• If AOFLIMITDISABLE is set to YES, the rule is disabled if it exceeds this limit.
• With AOFLIMITDISABLE set to NO, the rule is logically disabled until the next minute boundary if it exceeds this limit.

To override this execution limit for an individual rule, use the FIRELIMIT keyword of the OPS/REXX OPTIONS statement, and place that statement in the initialization section of the rule. This is the best method to use if you plan to set the limit only once. For details, see OPTIONS Instruction in the chapter “Using OPS/REXX” in the User Guide.

Using the CA OPS/MVS LIMITCOUNT parameter, you can display the total number of AOF events that the limit set by AOFFIRELIMIT prevented from executing. The AOF section of the CA OPS/MVS summary SMF record also contains this information.
