Parameters for Optional Interfaces › CAIENF-related Parameters › CAIENFMAX Parameter

CAIENFMAX Parameter

This parameter limits the number of CAIENF events that CA OPS/MVS can receive in a given second before it shuts down the CAIENF interface. This parameter is designed to prevent a loop in CAIENF processing from disabling all of your automation.

Note: The CAIENF task is activated and CAIENF events are passed to CA OPS/MVS only if the INITCA7 or INITCPM parameters are set to either ON or YES.

The CAIENFMAX parameter dictates the maximum value of the CAIENF counter kept by the CAIENFCURRENT parameter. When the value of CAIENFCURRENT reaches the value of CAIENFMAX, the CA OPS/MVS ENF interface terminates but can be restarted with a MODIFY command. Setting the CAIENFMAX parameter to its maximum possible value prevents CA OPS/MVS from ever shutting down the ENF interface task due to an excessive CAIENF rate. Doing so could impact your other automation.

Default value

1000 (if the CAIENF interface is active)

Other possible values

Any number of CAIENF events between 100 and 100000

Anytime

Example: CAIENFMAX

This function sets the CAIENF event limit to 500 events:

OPSPRM('SET','CAIENFMAX','500')

Note: If the CAIENF interface is inactive and has never been activated, the default value will be zero if it was not previously set.
