Issue/Introduction

I am trying to modify the LOGSPILL values without recycling the MUF.

Is it possible to do this using a console command, and if it is possible would you please provide the correct format?

Environment

Release : 15.1

Datacom/DB

Datacom/AD

Resolution

There are multiple ways to change any of the five values related to the LOGSPILL MUF Startup Option.

As you know, the LOGSPILL MUF Startup Option is defined using the syntax:

LOGSPILL a,b,c,d,e

where "a" is the only required value, and each value requires all the previous values (for example, "d" requires "c", "b", and "a"). 

As a refresher, here is a brief explanation of those values:

  1. The percentage where Datacom/DB starts issuing console messages about the Log Area becoming full (also called the threshold)
  2. The percentage at which point Datacom/DB forces a checkpoint before the Log Area reaches 100% full
  3. The percentage when the Log Area will attempt a spill to the RXX (LOGRCV YES ONLY)
  4. The percentage when the last transaction requested is moved to the Force Area (FXX)
  5. The percentage when an active request is moved to the Force Area.

Now, to change any of these values, you would issue the LOGSPILL_x console command (where x is either "A", "B", "C", "D", or "E"). For example to change the third value to 93%, you might want to issue the console command:

/F MUFNAME,LOGSPILL_C 93

These options can be changed in several ways:

  1. With the SQL Console command table (SQX) using DBSQLPR and the following SYSIN:
      INSERT INTO SQL_CONSOLE  VALUES ('MUFNAME ','LOGSPILL_C 93');
  2. DBUTLTY COMM Console command using the following SYSIN:
      COMM OPTION=CONSOLE,OPTION2='LOGSPILL_C 93'
  3. SYSVIEW Batch Console command using the following SYSIN:
      COMMAND=(XMVS F MUFNAME,LOGSPILL_C 93)
  4. Issuing a console command directly in the JCL (note that these COMMAND statements execute as soon as the job is started, and not in any sort of JCL Step sequence)
      //  COMMAND 'F MUFNAME,LOGSPILL_C 93'

Here is JCL showing these four methods, all together (you might be using different procs, but the SYSIN format/syntax is what you are interested in):
