OS 2200 System Parameters

There are several OS 2200 system parameters that you can monitor that are included in the details pane for an OS 2200 system. These parameters are from the continuous display of consoles associated with the system.

The following table describes the OS 2200 parameters shown in the details pane. Each of these read-only parameters raises an alert if it satisfies the threshold condition set for it by the Operations Sentinel administrator.

Parameter

Alert Identifier

Definition

A Hold

_OSAHold

If true, all batch runs in backlog are held (A hold). The hold is caused by a CS H keyin or because the mass storage limit for the system has been reached.

D Hold

_OSDHold

If true, the system has a hold on new demand runs (D hold). The hold is caused by a CS HD keyin.

E Hold

_OSExpoolHold

If true, EXPOOL space on the system is low (E hold). Insufficient EXPOOL space is available to open additional runs.

I Hold

_OSIHold

If true, the system has a one or more runs suspended (I hold). The hold is caused by an SP run-id keyin.

L Hold

_OSLHold

If true, the system has a hold on new demand terminals (L hold). The hold is caused by a CS HT keyin.

M Hold

_OSMSHold

If true, the system has a mass storage hold (M hold). Mass storage facilities or cataloged files are not available on the system.

O Hold

_OSMessageHold

If true, the system has at least one outstanding read-and-replay message for an onsite or remote console.

R Hold

_OSRHold

If true, one or more runs on the system is being held due to a CS H keyin.

T Hold

_OSTapeHold

If true, the system has a tape hold (T hold). Tape or other peripheral facilities are not available. This includes tape units, removable disk units, reel-ids, ACS queries, and facilities other than mass storage space and cataloged mass storage files.

Holds

_OSHolds

Includes a letter that represents each reason that runs are being held on the system, such as T for tape unit availability. For example, if EXPOOL space on the system is low, and there is an outstanding read-and-reply message, but no other holds, the value of Holds is EO.

Batch IP

_OSBatchIP

The percentage of IP SUPs being used by user programs using batch and deadline batch processing.

Demand IP

_OSDemandIP

The percentage of IP SUPs being used by user programs using demand processing.

Realtime IP

The percentage of EXPOOL available.

KMS Available

_OSMSAvailable

The number of tracks of available mass storage in the local directory. This number is displayed in thousands; for example, 10000 for 10,000,000 tracks. Shared mass storage is not included.
