IC78385: ANR2992W MESSAGES FLOOD ACTIVITY LOG WHEN LARGE AMOUNTS OF FREE SPACE IS AVAILABLE ON THE DB FILESYSTEM.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customers with large filespaces defined for use with the TSM
  Server database can have their Activity Log flooded with
  ANR2992W messages, even though they have very large amounts of
  space available on the filesystem.
  
  Example output:
  ANR2992W  The total DB used in DB space is 5,615,362 megabytes,
            and the total space available in the DB space is
            5,754,762 megabytes. The ratio is 0.98.
  
  The FSUSEDTHRESHOLD option, like the ARCHLOGUSEDTHRESHOLD
  option, needs to be documented to let customers know they can
  adjust the threshold, if needed.
  
  Any doc updates should include clear warnings about the impact
  making changes to the option could have.
  
    TSM Versions Affected: All 6x Servers on all platforms
  
    Customer/L2 Diagnostics: N/A
  
    Initial Impact: Low
  

Local fix

• None.
  
  Internal additional information:
  This is similar to the issue seen in APAR IC71005 and resulted
  in the undocumented ARCHLOGUSEDTHRESHOLD option that was
  introduced in IC67387 being documented in APAR IC71005.
