Step 7.8 – IOAPLEX parameters (optional)

Modify the IOAPLEX parameters according to the descriptions below:

Note: The XAELKNM, XAELKDS, XAECANM, XAECADS, XAELSNM, XAELSDS, and XAECBLF parameters in the IOAPLEX may be set to their default values at the initial (test) installation, and customized as required later.

Insert values for the following IOAPLEX parameters:

Table 30 IOAPLEX parameters

Parameter

Description

ENABXES

Whether to enable XES processing on the XES portion of IOAPLEX.

  • Mandatory

Valid values are:

  • Y – Enable. For IOAPLEX to work, this parameter must be set to Y.
  • N – Do not enable.
  • Default: N

XAECON#

Number of connectors (Control‑O or CMEM monitors) that will connect to the Coupling Facility structures.

  • Mandatory
  • Valid values are: 2 through 32.
  • Default: 2.

Note: Add at least one additional connector to the number of connectors that will be actually connected. This is because if a new Control‑O or CMEM monitor is started, the old monitor continues running until startup of the new monitor is complete, as in the Recommended Organization method of Control‑O or during a monitor abend. Therefore, the possibility exists that one additional connector will exist in the system.

ENABXAE

Whether to enable the XAE Database facility processing on the XAE portion of IOAPLEX.

  • Mandatory

Valid values are:

  • Y – Enable. For IOAPLEX to work, this parameter must be set to Y.
  • N – Do not enable. Default.

XAELKDS

Default size of the XAE/XES required lock structure.

  • Mandatory

Valid values are numbers, as follows:

  • > 0 – The XAE/XES lock structure size, in 4KB blocks, will be specified as input to the IXLCONN service.
  • 0 – The XAE/XES lock structure size is internally estimated by IOA, and the resulting calculated size is passed to the IXLCONN service. Default.
  • < 0 – A value of 0 will be passed by the STRSIZE parameter to the IXLCONN service. This means that the size of the structure will be the determined by the INITSIZE and SIZE parameters in the CFRM policy.

BMC recommends letting the parameter default to 0, allowing IOA to determine the required size.

XAECADS

Default size of the XAE/XES required cache structure.

  • Mandatory

Valid values are numbers, as follows:

  • > 0 – The XAE/XES cache structure size, in 4KB blocks, will be specified as input to the IXLCONN service.
  • 0 – The XAE/XES cache structure size is internally estimated by IOA, and the resulting calculated size is passed to the IXLCONN service. Default.
  • < 0 – A value of 0 will be passed by the STRSIZE parameter to the IXLCONN service. This means that the size of the structure will be the determined by the INITSIZE and SIZE parameters in the CFRM policy.

BMC recommends letting the parameter default to 0, allowing IOA to determine the required size.

XAELSDS

Default size of the XAE/XES required list structure.

  • Mandatory

Valid values are numbers, as follows:

  • > 0 – The XAE/XES list structure size, in 4KB blocks, will be specified as input to the IXLCONN service.
  • 0 – The XAE/XES list structure size is internally estimated by IOA, and the resulting calculated size is passed to the IXLCONN service. Default.
  • < 0 – A value of 0 will be passed by the STRSIZE parameter to the IXLCONN service. This means that the size of the structure will be the determined by the INITSIZE and SIZE parameters in the CFRM policy.

BMC recommends letting the parameter default to 0, allowing IOA to determine the required size.

XAELKNM

Name of the XAE/XES required lock structure.

If blank, defaults to ioaqname_XAELOCK, where ioaqname is the value of the QNAME parameter specified in the IOAPARM member. The value of ioaqname is padded with underscores if the length of the QNAME value is less than 8 characters.

  • Default: Blank.

XAECANM

Name of the XAE/XES required cache structure.

If left blank, defaults to ioaqname_XAECACH, where ioaqname is the value of the QNAME parameter specified in the IOAPARM member. The value of ioaqname is padded with underscores if the length of the QNAME value is less than 8 characters.

  • Default: Blank.

XAELSNM

Name of the XAE/XES required list structure.

If blank, defaults to ioaqname_XAELIST, where ioaqname is the value of the QNAME parameter specified in the IOAPARM member. The value of ioaqname is padded with underscores if the length of the QNAME value is less than 8 characters.

  • Default: Blank.

XAECBLF

XAE control block factor.

For problem resolution only, in case there is a need to preallocate a different number of internal control blocks.

Do not modify this value unless instructed by BMC Customer Support.

  • Mandatory
  • Default: 0.
