Issue/Introduction

If you are going to add 2000 type DEPT ACIDs to an existing type DIVISION ACID and the MAX_ACID_SIZE is currently set to 512K, what is the impact on the size of the DIVISION ACID?

Environment

Release : 16.0

Resolution

You can issue TSS LIST(div) DATA(BASIC) to see the current size of the division. 

When a type DEPT is added to a DIVISION, the size of the division increases 7 bytes (to identify the acid, acid type, and until date if specified). So adding 2000 DEPT ACIDs to a DIVISION will increase the division size by 14,000 bytes. The same size is also taken up when adding users, profiles, or groups to departments.
