MESSAGEMAX Parameter

This parameter limits the number of write-to-operator messages that CA OPS/MVS can generate in a given second.

Note: By default, SAY and TRACE statements from rules or from REXX programs running in a server are written to OPSLOG only; they are not WTOed.

The MESSAGEMAX parameter dictates the maximum value of the message counter kept by the MESSAGECURRENT parameter. When the value of MESSAGECURRENT reaches the value of MESSAGEMAX, CA OPS/MVS terminates and issues message OPS3146S. Setting the MESSAGEMAX parameter to its maximum possible value prevents CA OPS/MVS from ever shutting down due to an excessive message rate.

Default value

3000

Other possible values

Any number of messages between 100 and 100000
