Issue/Introduction

Within CA OPS/MVS OPSLOG it appears OPS is collecting events and attempting to issue SQL updates to change SSM Table CURRENT_STATE values. But, changes do not appear to be taking affect. Experiencing this when attempting to start numerous  tasks  after an IPL. In the past, shortage of process blocks seemed to be the root clause of this issue. 

Question 1: What  commands, while in the OPSLOG, can be used to help determine if this is due to process block shortage?

Question 2: If process blocks are the suspect, how would you determine affect/limit of increasing process block to highest value possible to prevent any future same issues.
