How to keep MAXUSERS value after a recycle of the region?

Issue/Introduction

We have hit the limit of the  default value of  MAXUSERS (500).
The value can be increased dynamically  by issuing MAXUSERS ####, but after cycling the region it reverts to the default value. 
The new value needs to be retained across restarts and/or IPL.

 

Resolution

The parameter 'MAXUSER ####' must be added to one of the start-up parameter files. 

Add 'MAXUSER ####" to the 'User Initialization Procedure' – which by default is member $ACINIT found in your TESTEXEC library. 

The syntax for the statement to be added in the $ACINIT member is as follows: 
MAXUSER 1000 

 Note that this is not a SYSPARM; it is only the keyword followed by the value (number of concurrent users allowed).

After a recycle of the region, the N11302 message now reflects the new value  - 
N11302 MAXUSERS LIMIT NOW SET TO 1000. 

Also, when you display the option using the MAXUSER command, the message N11301 will reflect the new value:
maxuser
N11301 CURRENT MAXUSERS LIMIT IS 1000, NUMBER OF USERS IS 1. 
** END OF DELIVERED MESSAGES **
