Schedule EXECs on the EXECs Thresholds panel
With the EXEC Thresholds panel, you can specify the number of EXECs that can be scheduled to the High and Normal priority queues by using MAXNORM and MAXHIGH parameters. When the number of scheduled EXECs matches the values set in these parameters, all scheduling stops until the number of EXECs drops below the thresholds.
You can also specify two thresholds for the High and Normal queues that, when reached, issue warning messages telling you that the threshold has been reached. These thresholds are WARNLVL1 and WARNLVL2 and the values represent percentages of MAXNORMQ and MAXHIGHQ.
Examples of setting EXEC thresholds
For example, you can specify
MAXNORMQ ===> 150
MAXHIGHQ ===> 100
and
WARNLVL1 ===> 50
WARNLVL2 ===> 75
For the Normal queue, warning messages are sent when 75 EXECs are scheduled and again when 112 EXECs are scheduled.
WARNLVL2 75% OF 150 = 112
For the High queue, warning messages are sent when 50 EXECs are scheduled and again when 75 EXECs are scheduled.
WARNLVL2 75% OF 100 = 75
Scheduling of EXECs stops when the maximum values are reached. EXEC scheduling automatically resumes when the number of EXECs drops below the maximum. Refer to the descriptions of the MAXNORMQ, MAXHIGHQ, WARNLVL1, and WARNLVLV2 fields in EXEC Thresholds panel fields for more information.
