Customize VSAM Alerts

An alert is always raised when a file is full or an error condition occurs; however, you can modify the severity. You can also specify whether to raise an alert for VSAM file extensions, string and buffer shortages, and enable alerts when a UDB expands to a pre-defined number of extents. You can customize these conditions through the VSAMMONITOR Customizer parameter group.

To customize VSAM alerts

  1. Enter /PARMS at the prompt.

    The Customizer : Parameter Groups panel appears.

  2. Enter U beside VSAMMONITOR in the Monitors category.

    The VSAMMONITOR Customizer panel appears.

  3. Complete the fields.
