We are receiving the message below, all reports that can be purged have been, so what is the process to increase the size of the file queue?
ESF078 91 % FILE QUEUE UTILIZATION
Additional symptoms in case the utilization reaches 100 %:
ESF765 JES->ESF INTERFACE - ESF FILE OPEN FAILED, RC=01, JOBnnnnn xxxxxxxx,
ESF769 JES->ESF INTERFACE HAS BEEN TERMINATED
Release : 12.0 14.0
Component : Spool
The process to increase the size of the file queue requires a cold start so you need to create a backup of the spool contents before following the procedure.
Basically you need to increase the value of the parameter NUMFQES.
So, the procedure is:
1) Update the ESFPARM to increase the value of the parameter NUMFQES.
2) Perform a full backup of the spool contents. See the link below for a procedure to be followed:
Quiesce Spool input/output file activity for a full backup
3) Stop OM Spool
4) Start OM Spool with the COLD option
5) Restore the files using the sample provided in the link above.
