Optimizing Statistics Files
Use this information to determine the most efficient use of Statistics file space.
Note: IBM® Connect:Direct® does not support extended-format, extended-addressing ESDS Statistics data sets.
In this example, the IBM Connect:Direct software is installed using the default statistics installation of two file pairs with a total capacity of 13,500 records. After running IBM Connect:Direct for a time, you determine that the records log for about 2.5 days before the file pair list wraps. The administrator wants to provide space for 7 days worth of records to be available at any given time. The administrator does the following:
Based on these calculations, the administrator allocates four file pairs. The entry-sequenced cluster (ESDS) of each pair is defined with RECORDS(9500). The key-sequenced clusters (KSDS) are defined with RECORDS(7125).
