DFS2384W THE NUMBER OF OTMA TYPE t DESCRIPTORS IN MEMBER member HAS REACHED THE MAXIMUM OF nnn
or
Explanation
The number of OTMA type-t descriptors that are defined in the OTMA DFSYDTx PROCLIB member has reached the maximum allowable number for type-t descriptors.
- t
- The descriptor type, either D or M.
Type D descriptors are OTMA destination descriptors. Type M descriptors are OTMA client descriptors and the DFSOTMA descriptor, if it is defined.
- member
- The name of the OTMA DFSYDTx member in the IMS.PROCLIB data set that contains the descriptors.
- nnn
- The maximum allowable number of descriptors for the descriptor type identified by t.
The second form of the message is displayed when the maximum value is reached as a result of adding descriptors by using the CREATE OTMADESC command.
Programmer response
No more descriptors of the listed type can be added unless the maximum allowable number of descriptors is increased or one or more existing descriptors are deleted. Alternatively, existing descriptor definitions can be changed to refer to new clients or destinations.
The maximum for client (type-M) descriptors is defined by the MDESCMAX parameter in the DFSOTMA descriptor. The default is 255.
The maximum for destination (type-D) descriptors is defined by the DDESCMAX parameter in the DFSOTMA descriptor. The default is 510.
For destination descriptors for ALTPCB destinations, if you cannot increase the maximum allowable number and you cannot delete or modify any existing destination descriptors to accommodate the new descriptor, you can code the definitions in the OTMA Destination Resolution exit routine (OTMAYPRX) and the OTMA User Data Formatting exit routine (DFSYDRU0).
