Control-O data set parameters

Use the following steps to customize the size of the

• Global variables library
• automation log
• Statistic file

  Table 32 Data set parameters

  Parameter	Description
  STREC#	Maximum number of message IDs that can be accumulated. This parameter determines the size of the Control‑O Statistics file. BMC recommends a specification of 10,000 or a higher figure Default: 10,000 This parameter is ignored if the STATO parameter is set to N.
  ALREC#	Maximum number of messages that can be stored in the Automation log. The Automation log is a wraparound file. When it becomes full, Control‑O overwrites the oldest messages. Calculate this parameter according to the number of messages per day, and the number of days you want the messages to be kept in the Automation log. Each message record is 364 bytes long. For example, if a site has 100,000 messages a day, the Automation log requires 61 cylinders of 3390 disk space to hold the contents of one day of processing.
  AUTOMLOG	Automation Log options. Valid values are: N (No) – Automation Log facility is not used. Rule traces are written to the Control‑O monitor sysout DAACTLOG file. D – Automation Log facility is used. The Automation Log file resides in a direct access (BDAM) data set. V – Automation Log facility is used. The Automation Log file resides in a DIV (Data in Virtual) VSAM Linear data set. This is the recommended value.
  GLBCOMP	Whether Control‑O should automatically compress the Global AutoEdit library whenever necessary. This parameter is useful at sites that do not operate a PDS management product. Valid values are: Y (Yes) – Use the Autocompress function. N (No) – Do not use the Autocompress function. Default. If Y is selected and the site security uses the Program Pathing option: Refer to the security definition member for Control-O for Program Pathing IOA.V700.BASE.INSTCTO (CTOSRAC4, CTOSSAF4 or CTOSTSS4). Control-O monitor must be allowed to run IEBCOPY. Note that any user allowed to update the Global AutoEdit library and run IEBCOPY may be able to compress the Global AutoEdit library directly (outside of the Control-O monitor).
