AUTOPOOL function usage notes

The SET result group contains space information for each pool in the automation request.

Sorting this information causes the pools in the request to be sorted. For example, the following request can be made:

SVOS AUTOPOOL Pool=(PoolA,PoolB,PoolC)

Space information for PoolA, PoolB, and PoolC is obtained and run through FLST. The SET result group then contains entries for PoolA, PoolB, and PoolC, assuming that all of the pools matched a SET statement.

SET SORT=(AP_PERFL,D)                                        x
    ACT_COUNT=2                                              x
    ACT_EVENTID=AP009
INC AP_GROUP=POOL*                                           x
    SOLUTION=AP009ALL

In this example, the SORT specification causes the pool entries to be sorted by percent full, resulting in the pools with the largest percent full being listed at the top. Event AP009 is then issued for the two pools, due to ACT_COUNT=2.

The pools that are included in a single request determine the effects of SORT and ACT_COUNT and ACT_SUM_LIM keywords. This sort statement is ignored for AUTOPOOL command requests where only one pool matches the INC/EXC statements for the SET or that specify a single pool name, such as SVOS AUTOPOOL POOL=MYPOOL,SOLUTION=AP009ALL.
