EXTRAEXTCONSOLES Parameter

This parameter specifies the number of extra extended consoles that CA OPS/MVS activates at startup. The EXTRAEXTCONSOLES and EXTRAEXTPREFIX parameters enable you to allocate a set of extended consoles for the exclusive use of particular pieces of CA OPS/MVSS. For example, perhaps your site uses an application that issues CICS commands, and all commands must be issued through the same console.

It is the responsibility of the client to manage these consoles in the appropriate manner. The OPSCMD command processor selects an extra extended console only if the console name is explicitly specified through the OPSCMD NAME or CONNAME keyword.

Important! Allocating an excessive number of extended, migration, and extra extended consoles may impact the amount of time it takes to process messages.

For more information about the CA OPS/MVS support for extended consoles, see the Administration Guide.
