CSALIMIT—Limit the use of CSA

Error
Warning

This parameter is not recommended by BMC.

The value of the CSALIMIT parameter limits the total amount of extended common storage area (ECSA) storage that is used by the product subsystem. The CSALIMIT parameter is defined using kilobytes (KB) or megabytes (MB). For example, 6000, 6000 KB, or 6 M all mean 6 megabytes. Use up to eight characters with no non-numeric characters except K or M. The default limitation is the amount of ECSA that is available on your system.

Setting CSALIMIT to zero has the following effects:

  • No limit to CSA usage.
  • Product subsystem monitors the ECSA that is used by the entire system.
  • The CSALIMIT operator command is ignored from then on.
  • You must set a non-zero CSALIMIT startup parameter and restart the product to allow the CSALIMIT operator command to function again.

This value affects the ECSA utilization thresholds by defining what amount of memory the thresholds are a percentage of.
