9503W A2G_SUPPORT HAS BEEN SUPPRESSED, MEMLIMIT VALUE TOO SMALL OR MISSING (SNAME: filename BUFFER: nn)

Written to:

SYSLOG, JESMSGLG.

Explanation:

The product has been started and an attempt was made to activate the BQL speedmaster function with the buffer value defined for DATA and/or KEY files in the database definition file. Storage above the 2GB bar is used for BQL speedmaster buffers because A2G support is activated (LST parameter A2G_SUPPORT = YES), but storage above the 2GB bar could not be allocated. filename is the short name (logical name) of the database component. nn is the number of buffers (in 4K blocks) to be used by the BQL speedmaster function.

System Action:

The product is started without A2G support. The BQL speedmaster buffers are created below the bar. When the STC disables A2G support during startup, it limits the maximum value for BQL speedmaster buffers to 512 per file. If you have specified higher values in your database definition file, these values will be temporarily reduced, but the values in the database definition file are not changed. It is possible to continue working as normal with reduced buffer values.

Operator Response:

The likely cause for this message is that the MEMLIMIT value is too small.

To enable A2G support and work with the specified buffer sizes above the 2GB bar, add the MEMLIMIT parameter in the JCL with an appropriate value. Refer to the IBM z/OS literature for more information on how to use MEMLIMIT. Stop and restart the product for changes to take effect.

If the MEMLIMIT value cannot be changed, reduce the buffer values that are defined in the database definition file. Proceed as follows:

  1. Stop the product.
  2. Run BST05UPF to reduce the buffer value defined for the DATA and/or KEY files in the database definition file.

    Start the program with the LST parameter BQL_SPEEDMASTER = NO. For more information on the parameters of BST05UPF, see "BST05UPF: Updating file information in the database definition file" in BSA Installation and System Guide.

  3. Start the product.

    Make sure that you start the product with the LST parameter BQL_SPEEDMASTER = YES. Otherwise serious performance problems could occur.
