Issue/Introduction

How is QUOTA disabled in ALLOCATE to lower it's CPU priority?

Resolution

Removing QUOTA from Allocate:

Remove or turn off the QUOTA functions within the VKGPARMS as well as remove the reference from your ASR's for QUOTA
(Example: IF &VAMENVIR EQ 'QUOTA")
Also remove variables starting with &Q in the ASR. These are also references for QUOTA.

1. Within the VKGPARMS change the below from (Y) to (N) in order to start the process or removal of QUOTA. 
PLSQCFMB (QCONFIG) (N)     
PLSQRBMB (QREBUILD)(N)    
PLSQSCMB (QSCAN)   (N)   
SUPLSQ to (N)

2. Look in your VAM task for VAM0356 DISK QUOTA TABLE DSN= to find the data set/s to be removed/deleted. The removal can only be done while VAM is not active.

3.To avoid the possibility of an ASR compile failure during the testing, be sure to syntax-check your ASR member with the TESTASRS job in CCTVJCL. Copy this member from CCTVJCL to your parmlib, edit and then submit.

4. Once all the changes have been completed you will need to recycle the Allocate started task in order for the changes to take affect.
