Issue/Introduction

How does the OPSLOG archive process determine the amount of space it needs?  

Every so often we have one that will abend (B37-04) space issue and the  TRACK parameters passed to the archive proc are always (1313,1313).

//OPSSARCH JOB MSGLEVEL=1                                              
//STARTING EXEC OPSSARCH,SSID=OPSS,LOGNAME='OPSLOG1',TRACK=(1313,1313) 
XXOPSSARCH PROC SSID=,                                                 
XX             LOGNAME=,                                               
XX             TRACK=        

 XXARCHPROC EXEC PGM=OI,                                                     
 XX             PARM='ARCHNTRK &SSID,&LOGNAME,&TRACK'                     IEFC653I SUBSTITUTION JCL - PGM=OI,PARM='ARCHNTRK OPSS,OPSLOG1,(1313,1313)'      

 

                                   

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : OPS/MVS

Resolution

The calculation performed by the archive process is as follows:

- record size 676
- bytes per track 47476
total tracks = number of records x 676 + 288 divided by 47476
This number of total tracks is then divided by 16 to get the primary and secondary allocations.
