System(s) CTMPLEX parameters

For each computer in a Sysplex in which an LSM monitor may run, there is a corresponding section labeled SYSTEM in the CTMPLEX member. The following parameters should be specified.

Table 54 System(s) CTMPLEX parameters

Parameter

Description

SYSTEMID

The system identifier.

All the systems you specify should be the members of the same Sysplex. The corresponding JES subsystems should share the same SPOOL and CHECKPOINT data sets (that is, the system should be a JES2 multi-access spool (MAS) configuration or a JES3 complex.

Relative (RELCAP)

Relative capacity of the Sysplex member.

This is the number of active jobs (that is, jobs that passed the selected phase but have not yet ended) that typically may be processed concurrently by the Control‑M monitor on this system.

This number is used by the workload balancing mechanism when the CTMPLEX Global Monitor looks for a Monitor that should process a new active job. The GSM selects the "least busy" CTM Monitor, that is, the one having the smallest percentage of active jobs processed by the monitor in relation to the RELCAP number of active jobs for that member.

If work balancing mode is disabled, this parameter is ignored.

Maximum (MAXCAP)

Maximum number of active jobs that may be concurrently processed by the local monitor on this system. This limit is in effect for both workload balancing and non-workload balancing modes.

If workload balancing is enabled, the MAXCAP parameter indicates the maximum number of jobs that can be passed to each Local monitor by the Global monitor in the event that each Local monitor has reached 100% utilization based on the value specified in the RELCAP parameter for each monitor.

If workload balancing is disabled, the MAXCAP parameter indicates the maximum number of concurrent jobs that can be activated by each Local monitor.

PRIORITY

Priority in the selection of the Local monitor to operate as the Global monitor if the Global monitor fails or stops.

If the Global monitor fails or stops, the active Local monitor with the highest PRIORITY value becomes the Global monitor.

Valid values are from 0 through 99. Priority 99 is highest, and 0 is lowest. The default is 0.
