Issue/Introduction
What happens when the Alerts Monitor buffer fills? Does this stop the system receiving alerts or do they roll off?
Environment
Release : 11.9
Component : CA SOLVE:Operations Automation for z/OS
Resolution
All alerts are saved in VARTABLES, where those vartables have no limits. There is no set # limit, there is no age limit, no storage limit, the product will continue to create alerts until such point in time the region runs out of virtual storage. Only time Alerts will stop getting built is when the NetMaster ends due to out of storage conditions.
Do the following commands to see vartable usage:
=/XDB
Select Option ===> vt
Vartable Prefix . $am
For example, the following shows how these vartables are defined:
F=Free R=Reset S/B=Browse
Total Table Key Key Num Del Storage
Name Scope Entries Limit Len Fmt Data Age Old Size
$AMACTALERTS SYSTEM 108 0 32 CHR MAP NO NO 2005K

$AMACTIONS SYSTEM 3 0 64 CHR MAP NO NO 576
