MAXRO

This option interacts with other options to control the log apply process. For information, see Controlling-the-log-apply-process.

You can use the XBM Utility Monitor function or the MVS operator console to dynamically change the value for this option while the reorganization in progress. For more information, see Using-XBM-to-view-and-dynamically-control-the-log-apply-process.

Specifying the default

You can specify the default for the MAXRO command option in your installation options module by using the MAXRO installation option. REORG PLUS was shipped with a default value of 300 for this option. The command option overrides the default that is in the installation options module.

integer

This integer specifies the maximum number of seconds that REORG PLUS spends applying log records in the LOGFINAL phase. Specify this value as a positive integer (0 or greater). When REORG PLUS estimates that the number of seconds required to apply the remaining log records is less than this value, it ends the LOGAPPLY phase and begins the LOGFINAL phase. The estimated time does not include the time required to produce the incremental copy data sets or the time needed for the UTILTERM phase. In the LOGFINAL phase, REORG PLUS prevents updates to the objects and applies the remaining log records.

DEFER

This value tells REORG PLUS to continue applying log records indefinitely, regardless of the value set in any other SHRLEVEL CHANGE option except DEADLINE, which is still checked. The LOGFINAL phase will not begin until you change this value. If DEADLINE is reached first, the job terminates after issuing message BMC50784E.
