General Information for RESOURCE

Quantitative resource specification can be used to prevent resource contention.

Quantitative resources, such as tape drives, CPU, and access rates to the spool, and their maximum available quantities are defined for the site in the IOA Conditions/Resources screen (Screen 4).

Note: If the AUTOTAPE parameter in the CTMPARM member in the IOA PARM library is set to Y, any tape drive value defined in the RESOURCE parameter is ignored. Instead, a value determined by the Automatic Tape Adjustment facility is used. For more information, see Fields of the Statistics Screen, and the description of using the Automatic Tape Adjustment facility in the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.
