    Application maintenance fields

   Field	Explanation
   Application Name	The full application name in database. Do not use the following characters in an application name: ( ) / / [ ] & < >

The field is divided into 3 sections, whole numbers, fractions and scaling. Example entries: 00000.50G = One half gigabyte 01000.00B = One thousand bytes 00001.00K = One Kilobyte (1024 bytes)
   Permanent Allocated	Contains the total amount of space allocated on DASD for permanent data sets assigned to this application code. Displayed in update dialog only.
   Permanent H-W-M	Contains the largest amount of space used or reserved for permanent data sets assigned to this application code since the high-water marks were last reset. Displayed in update dialog only.
   Temporary Budget	Contains the maximum amount of space allowed for temporary data sets assigned to this application code. The maximum budget supported is 86 exabytes. The field is divided into 3 sections, whole numbers, fractions and scaling. Example 00000.50G = One half gigabyte 01000.00B = One thousand bytes 00001.00K = One Kilobyte (1024 bytes)
   Temporary Allocated	Contains the total amount of space allocated on DASD for temporary data sets assigned to this application code. Displayed in update dialog only.
   Temporary H-W-M	Contains the largest amount of space used or reserved for temporary data sets assigned to this application code since the high-water marks were last reset. This field is displayed in update dialog only.
   VSAM Budget	Contains the maximum amount of space allowed for VSAM data sets assigned to this application code. The maximum budget supported is 86 exabytes. The field is divided into 3 sections, whole numbers, fractions and scaling. Example 00000.50G = One half gigabyte 01000.00B = One thousand bytes 00001.00K = One Kilobyte (1024 bytes)
   VSAM Allocated	Contains the total amount of space allocated on DASD for VSAM data sets assigned to this application code. This field is displayed in update dialog only.
   VSAM H-W-M	Contains the largest amount of space used or reserved for VSAM data sets assigned to this application code since the high-water marks were last reset. This field is displayed in update dialog only.
   HSM Allocated	Contains the total amount of space allocated on DASD for HSM data sets assigned to this application code. This field is displayed in update dialog only.
   HSM H-W-M	Contains the largest amount of space used or reserved for HSM data sets assigned to this application code since the high-water marks were last reset. This field is displayed in update dialog only.
   Create Date	Contains the date that the application was created. This field is displayed in update dialog only.
   LastUsed Date	Contains the date that the application was used. This field is displayed in update dialog only.
   Application Status	Indicates the status of the current application. The application status types are: MDEL—Application has been manually flagged for deletion. The next time that the database is copied, this application will be deleted. DEL—Application has been automatically flagged for deletion. This application was created, but never updated. Since no activity has taken place in the application, it will be deleted the next time the database is copied. ACTV—Application is active.
   User Field1	You can define this field using up to 8 characters. The field may contain blanks, as well as upper and lowercase letters. To update the applications by clearing the user name, enter the literal BLANK or blank in the user name. Following are valid entries: User Field1.. Day crew User Field1..blank
   User Field2	See User Field1. You can define this field using up to 10 characters.
   User Field3	See User Field1. You can define this field using up to 10 characters.
   Track Temporary	Type Y to set the flag indicating that temporary space is to be tracked. Type N to remove the flag.
   Track VSAM	Type Y to set the flag indicating that VSAM space is to be tracked. Type N to remove the flag.
   Track HSM	Type Y to set the flag indicating that HSM space is to be tracked. Type N to remove the flag.
   Add Temporary	Type Y if temporary space is to be accounted for as part of the permanent space budget. Type N if temporary space is not to be accounted for as part of the permanent space budget. Unless N has been specified for Track Temporary, entering an N will cause temporary space to be tracked separately.
   Add VSAM	Type N to remove the flag. if VSAM space is to be accounted for as part of the permanent space budget. Type N if VSAM space is not to be accounted for as part of the permanent space budget. Unless N has been specified for Track VSAM, typing an N will cause VSAM space to be tracked separately.
   Add HSM	Type Y if HSM space is to be accounted for as part of the permanent space budget. Type N if HSM space is not to be accounted for as part of the permanent space budget. Unless N has been specified for Track HSM, typing an N will cause HSM space to be tracked separately.
   Reset H-W-M	Type Y to cause all high-water marks to be reset to current allocation amounts. This function is relevant to CHANGE only.
   Mark Delete	Type Y to cause the application to be deleted the next time the database is copied. Type N to reset the flag.
   Application Mode	Indicates how you want allocations treated for this application. The modes are: Monitor—tracks space allocations and deallocations as they occur, allowing up-to-the-minute analysis of DASD space usage Warning—generates a message if the current allocation exceeds the budget amount Reject—rejects the allocation if the current allocation exceeds the budget amount Default—sets the application mode back to the default value
   Warning threshold	The percentage of the budget that can be used by this application before a warning message is issued. This field can have any value up to 100.
   Volume Count	Contains the number of volumes that contain at least one data set that is included in the allocation amounts for this application. This field is displayed in update dialog only.

   Note

   Budgets are used by views as the basis for percentage-usage calculations for graphic and tabular displays. BMC Software recommends that you specify a budget for all applications that are running in monitor mode.
