Control resource records processed for cross-reference views


You can use the XREFLIM parameter in BBPARM member IMFBEX00 to control the number of resource records that are processed for display in the cross-reference views. Setting an appropriate record limit with XREFLIM can prevent excessive CPU and storage usage.

The recommended XREFLIM value is 100000. The minimum value is 5000. There is no upper limit to the parameter value, but an overly large value might use excessive resources in the PAS. (If the parameter is omitted, no limit is imposed.)

When the XREFLIM processing limit is reached, processing stops before all possible records are displayed, and the following message is displayed:

Cross-reference processing limit (nnn) reached

To determine the current limit, use the IBEXSUMR view. To immediately reset the limit without performing a reset or restart, use the SETOPTS primary command on any view and specify a limit in the Cross-reference limit field.
