ACIDCHAN

ACIDCHAN runs the ALLOC function and then uses the ACID index and chase ARLB chains to build a second allocated ACID map. While chasing the chains, TSSFAR will confirm the actual number of chained ARLBs against what the ACID had listed in its FACTREC. ACIDCHAN then lists any ARLBs that are chained but empty. If these match the ARLB numbers reported as key errors in the ALLOC function, the allocation maps are correct.

All FACTREC header ARLB counts match actual chains - This message shows that the value found as the number of ARLBs in the FACTREC header matches the number of ARLBs chained together for all ACIDs.

Note: There will be a discrepancy of 12 in the total number of ACIDs reported in your system by TSSFAR compared to a TSS LIST command. This is due to TSSFAR having eight User ACIDs that are reserved and four Department ACIDs that are dynamically built.

ACIDCHAN provides additional analysis of the contents as follows:

• The number of ACID index entries allocated and used.
• The number of ACID index blocks allocated and used.
• The next and last available ACID number.
• Recommended CA Top Secret cache size.
• Recommended XES structure size.
