General Information

This parameter is used to prevent unlimited loops within the system. The THRESHOLD parameter value indicates the maximum number of times that Control-O will trigger the rule in one interval.

Before Control-O triggers a rule, it checks if the rule has already been triggered the maximum number of times in the current interval. If so, Control-O does not trigger the rule again, but instead sets the rule STATUS to SUSPEND, and issues the CTO285W message to the console.

The THRESHOLD parameter in the CTOPARM member also limits the number of times that a rule can be triggered in one interval. A value specified in the THRESHOLD parameter of a rule overrides a value specified in the THRESHOLD parameter in CTOPARM.

If the value of the THRESHOLD parameter, in both a rule and CTOPARM, is set to zero or no value, Control-O does not limit the number of times that the rule can be triggered.
