Issue/Introduction

When upgrading Datacom to a new release, does the value of FXX TASKS need to be changed?

Environment

 

 

Resolution

Datacom generally adds more internal system tasks during each release. However, unless specified in the new release, there is no need to increase the FXX TASKS value.

The general recommendation is that the FXX TASKS should always be at least 100 higher than the MUF TASKS value. In addition, if using VSAM Linear Datasets, you should specify a value between 1000 and 4000.

 

Additional Information

For more information on using the FXX (Force Area), please refer to the documentation topic "Creating and Maintaining the Force Area (FXX)."
