MAXDORM

Syntax

MAXDORM=nnnn

Description

This parameter specifies the maximum length of time (in hundredths of second) that a member of a MAS configuration is to refrain from attempting to gain control of the shared queues.

When processors are active in CA Spool, this statement has little meaning because control of the shared queues is frequently requested. However, when CA Spool is idle, this statement ensures that CA Spool periodically looks in the shared queues for work that is eligible for processing and that another member of the configuration can have placed there.

Note: If the value specified for MAXDORM is too small, excessive system time can be expended in unnecessary attempts to re-acquire the queue. However, if the value specified is too large, the start of certain functions and the responses to certain display commands can be delayed.

The lower limit is 10 and the upper limit is 6000. The default value is 200 (2 seconds).
