Buffer Utilization

Beneath the list of functions CA Verify for VTAM displays this message:

DATA CAPTURE BUFFERS nn% FULL, NO/NUMBER OF SECONDARY 
BUFFERS ALLOCATED

To avoid affecting system performance, CA Verify for VTAM stores screens captured during the Log and Run functions in a buffer before processing them. If the primary buffer becomes full, CA Verify for VTAM allocates secondary buffers. This message indicates what percentages of all allocated buffers are full, and how many — if any — secondary buffers have been allocated.

Note: If you find that secondary buffers are frequently allocated, you should increase the size of the primary buffer in the options module. See the Installation Guide for instructions.
