Monitoring ICF catalog alias counts in Vantage

Products

• Vantage Storage Resource Manager

Issue/Introduction

We have a need to be able to monitor the alias counts in the ICF catalogs designated for TSO userids.  We have had issues where the catalog reached its logical limit of aliases (approx. 3000) and our team was not notified causing issues for new users.  Is there some way that VANTAGE can be set up to monitor and alert on specific catalog alias counts? 

 

Environment

Vantage

Resolution

The following script will issue a WTO when the number of alias entries goes beyond 2900.
