Resource usage

Use the information in this section to estimate the normal and maximum resource usage by z/OS® Explorer, so you can plan your system configuration accordingly.

When you use the numbers and formulas presented in this section to define the values for system limits, be aware that you are working with fairly accurate estimates. Leave enough margin when setting the system limits to allow resource usage by temporary and other tasks, or by users connecting multiple times to the host simultaneously. (For example, by way of RSE and TN3270).

Note:
  • The information is limited in scope to services accessed through RSE that are provided by z/OS Explorer itself. For example, resource usage of TN3270 is not documented.
  • Adding third-party extensions to z/OS Explorer can increase the resource usage counters.
  • All services have short-lived "housekeeping" tasks, which use resources during their execution, and which may run sequential or parallel to each other. The resources used by these tasks are not documented.
  • Where useful, user-specific resource usage of requisite software, such as the ISPF Gateway, is documented.
  • The numbers presented here can change without prior notification.
