Reason:
A health check is active that monitors space in the CA Spool SPOOLDS data sets to help ensure that sufficient spool space is available to allow for the creation of more files.
The current percentage is higher than the threshold percentage and a medium severity health check exception is reported.
The threshold is taken from the TGWARN parameter in the CA Spool parameter deck. If TGWARN is not specified, its default value of 80 percent is used.
Action:
Consider adding an additional CA Spool data set as follows:
Alternatively, try to free spool space by purging spool files that have already printed or by issuing the PD - Purge Done command to purge all printed spool files at once.
Reason:
A CA Spool health check is active which monitors the number of file queue elements in use to help ensure that enough remain to allow for more spool files to be created.
The current percentage is higher than the threshold percentage and a medium severity health check exception is reported.
The threshold is taken from the TGWARN parameter in the CA Spool parameter deck. If TGWARN is not specified, its default value of 80 percent is used.
Action:
Consider increasing the NUMFQES initialization parameter to allow for more files in your CA Spool system. This process requires a COLD start and must be performed in an off-hours timeframe, as follows:
Alternatively, try to free file queue elements by purging spool files that have already printed or by issuing the PD - Purge Done command to purge all printed spool files at once.
Reason:
A CA Spool health check is active which monitors the number of concurrent active TCP/IP subtasks to warn if the maximum of 128 subtasks is being reached.
The current percentage is higher than the threshold percentage and a medium severity health check exception is reported.
The threshold is taken from the TGWARN parameter in the CA Spool parameter deck. If TGWARN is not specified, its default value of 80 percent is used.
Action:
Use the CA Spool Web Interface or 3270 Menu System Printer panel to filter on printers in Intervention Required status to locate printers needing manual intervention.
Halt and Interrupt or Cancel these printers until the manual intervention can be cleared.
Check the ESFLOG for printers which repeatedly fail to print. Issue Halt commands for these printers until the reason for the print failures is resolved.
Reason:
A CA Spool health check is active which monitors the number of concurrent active Transformer subtasks to warn if the maximum defined on the MAXFILES parameter of the X2YY statement in the CA Spool parameter deck is being reached.
The current percentage is higher than the threshold percentage and a medium severity health check exception is reported. The threshold is taken from the TGWARN parameter in the CA Spool parameter deck. If TGWARN is not specified, its default value of 80 percent is used.
Action:
Set X2YY MAXFILES to between 5 and 10. A number higher than 10 does not increase throughput, it only increases virtual storage usage below the 16 MB-line.
To reduce I/O and CPU usage and increase throughput
Reason:
A CA Spool health check is active which warns if the CA Spool system has not updated the checkpoint within the CKPTIME= specified time interval.
The CKPTIME interval has been exceeded and a severe severity health check exception is reported.
Action:
Issue a 'DS' command to display the current CA Spool status. If no response is received the CA Spool system is non-operational. Use the MVS DUMP command to take an SVC dump of the failing CA Spool system. If you are not able to determine the cause of the problem cancel and restart CA Spool. Report the problem to CA Support.
If a response is received, determine if the CA Spool checkpoint dataset is on a low impact volume and help ensure that no other task gains exclusive control of that volume.
Reason:
A CA Spool health check is active which warns if the CA Spool EMAS/MAS complex member has not been able to get access to the checkpoint within the WARNTIM= specified time interval.
The WARNTIM interval has been exceeded and a severe severity health check exception is reported.
Action:
Locate the CA Spool EMAS/MAS member system that is monopolizing the checkpoint and issue a 'DS' command against that system. If no response is received that CA Spool member system is non-operational. Use the MVS DUMP command to take an SVC dump of the failing CA Spool system and cancel it so another CA Spool EMAS/MAS member can take over.
If you are not able to find the cause of the problem, report the problem to CA Support.
Reason:
A CA Spool health check is active which warns that SPOOELNC=YES is specified on a machine that do not have encryption hardware (CPAF).
CA Spool can encrypt and decrypt reports without encryption hardware, but emulating encryption hardware is very CPU intensive. This uses CPU resources that could otherwise be used for production applications and cause a potential delay in those applications.
It is recommended that CA Spool with SPOOLENC=YES - spool data encryption enabled to be run on a machine that supports hardware encryption.
Action:
CA Spool continues to processing, but encryption work is not being performed in the most efficient manner.
Notify the systems programmer of this condition.
If you do not have CPACF enabled, contact IBM to determine if the no cost CPACF option can be made available on your system.
CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions (CPACF) is a standard component on z9 and z10 and a no-cost option for z890 and z990 processors.
To disable encryption, set SPOOLENC=NO and restart CA Spool.
