Setting the MEMLIMIT parameter

The following products and components require above-the-bar memory and might abend if sufficient memory is not available:

  • ALTER
  • BMCSORT
  • Catalog Manager
  • Change Manager
  • CHECK PLUS
  • BMC AMI Copy
  • DASD MANAGER PLUS
  • High-speed Apply Engine
  • LOADPLUS
  • BMC AMI Log Master
  • BMC AMI Recover
  • BMC AMI Recovery Manager
  • REORG PLUS
  • UNLOAD PLUS

In the IBM z/OS system, the default value for the System Management Facility (SMF) MEMLIMIT parameter is 2 GB. For most jobs, 2 GB should be sufficient. However, if you are processing a large amount of data (especially compressed data) or operating on LOB or XML data, we recommend at least 32 GB.

This value is set in member SMFPRMxx in SYS1.PARMLIB. Use any of the following methods if you need to override the default value:

  • Specify the MEMLIMIT parameter in the JCL.
  • Specify REGION=0M in the JCL.
  • Use the SMF IEFUSI exit.
