SPOOL_FILE_QUEUE_PCT@jobname

Description

This health check monitors file queue elements in use, to help ensure that sufficient free file queue elements are available to allow for more spool files.

This condition is checked periodically every five minutes, and reports a medium severity health check exception if the threshold is exceeded.

Best Practice

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:

  1. Drain CA Spool system.
  2. Run ESFSPTP utility to back up spool files.
  3. Increase the NUMFQES initialization parameter.
  4. Restart CA Spool with COLD option.
  5. Run ESFSPTP utility to restore old spool files.

Note: You can also 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.

Parameters Accepted
THRESHOLD(nn%)

Specifies the threshold queue percentage. nn is a number from 0 through 100, inclusive.

Default: Taken from the CA Spool initialization parameter TGWARN.
